Nope. Your screen is an LCD--LCD's don't suffer from "burn-in"
the way CRT's can. There is no harm in leaving it on.
That said, I still, at the very least, turn my screen off (hit
FN+F3) when I leave my computer running for an extended period of time.
The reason is that although your LCD screen won't burn in, presumably
that backlight in your screen can burn *out*. I don't know anyone who
has had this happen to them, but just the same...I'd rather conserve it
as best I can.
But there's no need to be paranoid here...
