I used to believe that theory but I will gladly sell you my 3 yr old Dell 21" LCD display that has a beautiful image of the Windows XP task bar and the background outlines of the Windows Desktop permanently embossed.
That being said, my BB Curve is used every night as an LCD clock and has no burn-in.

Simply not possible, the only thing possible is that the life of the actual lcd screen can be cut short because the lcd remains constantly on, and the led's used for the backlight have a lifespan of 50-100,000 hours. Either way.. at 50,000 hours.. .the backlight will last 5.7 years of being constantly on before it would give out.
So in short... you have NOTHING to worry about.
