I 'd like to point out that "burn in" is technically not the same as ghosting. Burn-in is where display a static object on a screen for a prolonged period of time causes a permanent ghost-like image on the screen. True burn-in really only occurs with CRTs and Plasma displays, though it's often misattributed to temporary ghosting seen on other displays like eInk and LCD.
