This is the best summary I could come up with:
People tend to display static images on computer monitors more frequently than on TVs—things like icons, taskbars, and browser address bars—making burn-in risk a concern.
"Industry chatter," Dough co-founder Konstantinos Karatsevidis told me, showed that burn-in affected "around 5 percent of users" after two years.
The latest models have improved materials and firmware that make them significantly more resistant to burn-in than they were years ago.
Roland Wooster, chair of VESA’s Display Performance Metrics Task Group, told me that physical design changes have also helped.
By counting the time each subpixel is displayed and at what brightness, a "wear level" can be determined for each pixel, using an algorithm to estimate the luminance degradation this can be compensated for.
The companies that make monitors can implement a range of firmware, software, and hardware techniques to help fight burn-in.
