Modern screensavers can turn off the screen when not in use. In many cases, the use of a screensaver is impractical. Most plasma-type display manufacturers include methods for reducing the rate of burn-in by moving the image slightly, [7] which does not eliminate screen burn but can soften the edges of any ghost image that does develop. [8]
Burn-in is when images are physically "burned" into the screen of the CRT; this occurs due to degradation of the phosphors due to prolonged electron bombardment of the phosphors, and happens when a fixed image or logo is left for too long on the screen, causing it to appear as a "ghost" image or, in severe cases, also when the CRT is off.
A long period of sales decline occurred in the late 1970s because semiconductor memory made CRT displays cheaper than the $2500 USD 512 × 512 PLATO plasma displays. [12] Nevertheless, the plasma displays' relatively large screen size and 1 inch (25.4 mm) thickness made them suitable for high-profile placement in lobbies and stock exchanges.

Burn-in is the process by which components of a system are exercised before being placed in service (and often, before the system being completely assembled from those components). This testing process will force certain failures to occur under supervised conditions so an understanding of load capacity of the product can be established.
The FDA has a guide for how long you can safely store food in the freezer, and it’s not as long as you’d think. Most raw and cooked ingredients only stay good for a few months at most.
A new technique employed by a novel software utility equalizes burn-in by monitoring how the screen is used and creating an inverse burn image. By displaying the inverse burn image, previous burn-in can be equalized. This means that bright and dark patches will not be noticeable and uniform brightness across the whole screen is achieved.
