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]
A screensaver (or screen saver) is a computer program that blanks the display screen or fills it with moving images or patterns when the computer has been idle for a designated time. The original purpose of screensavers was to prevent phosphor burn-in on CRT or plasma computer monitors (hence the name). [ 1 ]
If by regular TV you mean a non-flat screen, then yes, there is a possibility that will happen, although if your TV was made in the last 10 years, it is less likely. If your TV is flat, then it will not happen: "Both plasma-type and LCD-type displays exhibit a similar phenomenon called transient image persistence, which is sometimes confused ...

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.
Here were ours: first, this list must only take into account films, not TV series or stage performances. Second, it should only take into account films released post-2000.
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.
