i was unaware that burn in issues were solved on CRTs, ( other than the solution of ceasing their manufacture) and ive seen burn-in damage to notebook screens. probably ancient notebook history.
it makes sense to embed a solution in the monitor itself if it's needed. either way mac os has a photo slideshow screensaver and itunes ( free app) had a visualization screensaver 10 years ago. after dark is not needed. people just like it..
