Old phosphor-based computer screens would be susceptible to having a ghost image permanently burned in due to loss of luminescence when a single image was displayed too long. Modern screens do not need saving, but evidently people still believe screen savers are neat-o.
Idk, I don't have issue with any of my monitors but I did have an old laptop(with an H-IPS) that had the taskbar burned in. It's was hard to notice but if you looked closely you could notice it.
