FAIL. LCD's don't have this problem--plasma's do. not saying it couldn't have any effect, but it's not even close to the same problem on an LCD....if it DOES happen.

yes LCDs certainly do suffer from burn in, especially the cheaper and older ones. There are lots of them that have the start bar burned in. Sometimes you can run other images on the screen for a while and it will come back out, but not always.

Do LCD TVs Burn In?: TechLore

The Truth About LCD and Burn In

It is a fact that LCD displays are immune to phosphor wear, simply because LCD televisions do not use phosphor to create a television image. Otherwise, it would be like saying an electric car can run out of gas. That does not mean LCD displays are immune to the effects of static images. On LCD displays, this is kindly referred to as "video memory" or "image retention."

LCD panels use a complicated process of organizing liquid crystal molecules into a twisted or untwisted state, which allows polarized light to pass through the liquid crystal substrate. Over time, it is possible these liquid crystals can "get used to" the state of twist they are in, causing a static image, very similar to phosphor burn-in, to be visible on the screen permanently.

Some say that simply turning off the display for 24-48 hours eliminates this effect, while others have claimed the effect is permanent in extreme cases. Nonetheless, home users of LCD televisions have generally little to fear.
