CRTs have this problem if the monitor is left on for a considerable amount of time without the use of standby or turn off mode or screensavers. Do LCD have the same problem?

Yes they do, however on an LCD its reversable. It usually takes twice the time it took for the burn-in to happen for it to come out though.
