Watching nothing but CNN for 24/7 doesn't seem like a particularly realistic test. Also basing conclusions on a sample of 1 is also rather misleading.
Since we are doing anecdotal "evidence", here is mine tonally scientific test: I bought my Alienware aw3423dw at release and have been using it as my work and gaming monitor since than. I use dark mode and don't watch CNN on my monitor, but it has over 6000 hours of use so far and no burn in...
It's a very realistic test for monitor usage, especially when you are buying for longevity. My taskbar gets 5000 hours/year of display time on my main monitor and closer to 7000 hours/year on my secondary monitors.
My oldest monitor is at 9 years old now running 20 hours per day continously and it has no loss in quality or performance at all - and I expect to keep it for at least another 4-5 years.
