I don't think that does an adequate job here. In most workflows, static elements such as the taskbar will still be displayed in the same place most of the time the display is on.

As I understand it, plasma displays (which now seem defunct?) had issues with burn-in if presented with the same image for a long period of time during a single instance, while from personal experience AMOLED burn-in can occur even if the same image is displayed repeatedly over a long period of time. Screen savers would appear to mitigate the former, but not completely avoid the latter.
