Saving on wear & tear uses less electricity, because it takes a ton of
electricity to manufacture a new monitor.  I've heard that it takes
more electricity to make a new monitor than that monitor will use in
its lifespan.

Getting back to the subject line, we manufactured kiosks for a while
and after a few months the monitors had the main screen's buttons
burned into the phosphors, so yes, burn-in is still an issue as of a
couple of years ago.
