Just now I changed my background image from a pic of my kids to nothing, so it was just the standard ‘windows blue’ background. Horror of horrors on one of my monitors I could clearly read the text from the file name tabs of my IDE that I had closed hours ago, surely this means that they’ve got some sort of screen burn?!
Thankfully interweb://google says maybe not:
Hopefully if you ever encounter LCD burn-in, it will be reversible, but sometimes it is not. In these cases, you should contact the manufacturer and see if they are willing to replace the screen. I have heard conflicting accounts about the replacement policy for different companies regarding image persistence.

I’ve set my backround to white, set my monitors to turn off after 20 mins (2 hrs before) and set the screen saver (photo slideshow) to come on sooner.
Hopefully that’ll sort it.
