i see this as an absolute win
So… they spent thousands of hours with a still frame of the negative of that image? And don’t know his name? It doesn’t even look like the TV is plugged in… burn-in doesn’t show when a TV is off. It’s based on the “pixels”(obviously more detailed than that, and varies depending on what tech the TV is) having used up more of the total lifespan of the colors that were on for so long. In the types of TVs that can burn in, the color elements of each pixel slowly darken the more they are used. Though, generally not evenly. Each color would have a different average life span. So the image wouldn’t even burn in this clearly and would sort of hue shift, specifically away from blue, as it is pretty much always the color with the shortest life span.
Anyway, to sum up, bull shit, photoshopped.
I mean, pretty obviously fake. You can see the overlaid image bleeding off the edges of the TV frame into the background. Haha.
This is fake but I have a new idea for subtle revenge against someone with an OLED, like a roommate or something. Whenever they aren’t home, turn their TV on, find a negative of something or someone awful (or creepy, like IDK, the Ring) and slowly burn it into the TV every day while they work or are otherwise away.
A few months of this and their TV will be cursed and your revenge for that one night when Stephen trimmed his toenails over the carpet will be complete.

How long did they have that video paused to get that to happen with LEDs? (It’s supposed to be a lot harder than on a CRT screen.)
It would have to be an OLED. You can’t burn in an LED
Or Plasma, also known as a whole home heater.
You can. Though it’s more like uneven aging of the LCD panel. I have seen it a couple times where 4:3 content was played on the display exclusively.
