I've seen several reports of LCD screens suffering from what is called brown-in. It's probably from having the contrast and/or backlight cranked up to the max. The whites end up with a tannish tinge.

I can't recall ever seeing this myself. I surmise that it could be the actually aging of the display material more than burning in. Plastic does seem to have this issue as it ages. I would think it is not a problem for the LCD-LEDs using the hard glossy screens verses the matte.

  I know one of the reports was from someone who had his LCD for a little over a year. Not exactly an "aged" item. And from what I remember, areas of the screen started to tinge tan/brown -- not retain an image. What I don't remember is what he used the display for (gaming, computing, movies, etc) and what the manufacturer said about this. I know of others who said they had similar experiences, but I really had no interest in the details. These were not LED LCD versions, but then again they have not been on the market for very long.
