Saving on wear & tear uses less electricity, because it takes a ton of electricity to manufacture a new monitor. I've heard that it takes more electricity to make a new monitor than that monitor will use in its lifespan. Getting back to the subject line, we manufactured kiosks for a while and after a few months the monitors had the main screen's buttons burned into the phosphors, so yes, burn-in is still an issue as of a couple of years ago. --Pete
