well modern lcd's dont expereince burn in and the captivate doesn't have an lcd it has an oled tft not lcd tft. specifically it is "super" amoled. yes amoled screens are suseptible to burn in but not as much as standard oled. however it is very apparent on att display models in the stores. that said i run mostly dark themes and dont have any burn in that i can see, my phone is coming up on a year old.

Edit: Beaten to the LED thing.

Just to clarify, the Captivate screen uses LEDs, not LCD technology. That said, LEDs are much more susceptible to burn-in, and my screen has it. It's most noticeable around the notification bar clock at the upper right, since it's almost always displayed. It's most apparent on solid or almost solid screens.

It doesn't really bother me, I guess.

well leds aren't suseptable to much loss of brightness but oled technology doesnt use the same type of semiconductors. it is organic light emitting diodes. the organic material deteriorates over time.

in oled there is no lcd or backlight. the organic led's are the pixels

dont associate oled too much with leds because with lcd's led backlights are far superiors to florescent backlights. not only in color balance and temperature and power consumption but also in longevity.

Thank you guys for your replys, it doesn't bother me too much. I was just checking, I leave Pandora up all the time while I am at work and now that I have this information from you all, I know to not do that so much.
