Do monitors have higher standards for burn-in protection?

I'd been using an LG LCD monitor for years without any issue but after just a couple weeks of doing my computing on a Sony LCD TV there's some burn-in, and the weird part is that it wasn't the Windows taskbar that did but rather a sticky note... So I'm wondering if TV's are more susceptible to burn-in (LCD only), or maybe it's because my TV is an older model than my monitor?

:? I thought LCD screens didn't suffer from burn in.

Burn in happens on CRT screens because of an inherent problem with the way CRT works.

EDIT: Well blow me down. I did some Googling, and found this:

So it seems they don't have traditional "burn in", but they can suffer from a similar thing called "image persistence". It appears to be temporary though. I've never seen it happen myself.

The very old LCD TV/monitors can still have some burn-in if you left a non-moving screen on all night. Nowadays, that's not a problem. I still fall asleep sometimes and leave a dvd menu on the screen all night on my 24" 1080p LCD tv/monitor. But, there's no burn in.

So, no. Burn-in isn't a problem anymore.

LCDs don't have burn in, plasmas do ( have ) but I heard that was solved.

Any myths on LCD burn in is due to damage to the LCD screen and it looking like an image burned in.

Yeah I thought LCDs were immune to burn-in too. I've looked into image persistence and that could be it, but the first thing I tried was leaving the TV on overnight with a solid white background and it's still screwed up. I've also left it turned off and nothing. So I'm guessing just older models get burn in?istuffedsunny

I don't recall any of my old LCD (purely PC) Samsung and HP monitors from 2006 ever having burn-in problems. But, we do have an old 32" LCD 720p Magnavox TV from 2003 (Philips screen). It does get burn-in with static images if left on overnight. But, the burn-in eventually goes away after several days. With the older plasmas, the burn-in is pretty much permanent.
