Really fucked up monitor problem?

God I don't even know how to describe this. Um... I've had YouTube open for a while on one tab while I fell asleep I guess? And now, whenever there's any dark on my screen (say, when Discord is fullscreened) I can see the image of the tab just slightly overlayed on top of it?? This isn't just Discord, any dark on the monitor shows this transparent layer. Chrome is closed and I've restarted, but the tab is still there. What in the fuck?

Its called burn-in. It should decrease over time. An old tip was to have it show White static for a prolonged periode of time to speed up the process.

 

Plasma TVs had notorious burn in. It was quite normal to have burn in where the logos from the networks was placed

Have you restarted the machine? Does it appear even during POST and startup? If so, you got burn-in.

Burn-in. Can happen when your sitting at a particular windows for too long or too often.

It seems to happen non-permanently, as it fades away, but it happens with literally every bright window. This just suddenly started happening, any way to prevent it? It's literally every bright application and only for a while. Would letting the monitor rest help??

What I mean is, most of what I'm reading up on on ghosting/burn-in seems to be a case where a person has one particular image burned into the screen. It just takes 20 minutes of a tab being open to me for it to burn in for a while. It's really, really annoying.
