Actually, what you want to do with an LCD panel is shut the display OFF.
While the LCD itself won't burn, the panel is backlit by a very powerful

lifespan.

This question is answered in great detail in the comp.laptops newsgroup FAQ.

A designer knows when he has achieved perfection not when there is
nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
