Flat panel monitors and burn-in?

[alice]

I'm wondering if flat panel monitors are subject to image burn in the
same way CRT monitors are? I've learned the hard way that I needed to
use a screen saver on my CRT screens, but now I'm phasing in flat
screens and am wondering if I need to do the same.

As Carey told you: the answer is no, because LCDs use a different technology altogether from CRTs.
