We got a new monitor at work.

Yes they can. It doesn't always happen, but can and does happen on most displays. We have a $8K Phillips LCD display in our NOC that does it.

Ok, so maybe it's been engineered around in expensive displays, but this thread was talking about a ~$200 LCD, so that's obviously moot.

Edit: That spec is also for 'Optically-Enhanced TFT' which isn't very common.
LCDs, in general, are still succeptable to image retention. Period. ALL LCDs are succeptable to backlight leakage. Not all of them experience it, but it's a hell of a lot more common on consumer displays.
