Burn-in on LCD monitors is quite rare. Think about how
many people have their taskbar static at the bottom of the
screen, but no burn in from that.

The best solution for an LCD is to have it power off after a
period of inactivity mated to your particular usage pattern.
That way you reduce the wear on the CCFL lighting tubes so
they don't dim from wear as quickly (assuming yours is a
CCFL lit monitor, some are now LED backlit).

Not really, sticking pixels tend to be a hardware defect and not
something that is burnt in like happened on CRT monitors back in the
day.

That isn't to say that LCDs are entirely immune, theoretically if the
crystals hold one position for an extended period of time it's possible
they'll eventually form a preference for that position, but this is
quite technically different from a stuck pixel (be it light or dark)

The little button on the corner of the screen is the best option. Its
usually a circular icon with a vertical line through the top of the circle.
If you press this, the screen enters power-save mode. Simply press it again
to 'wake up'. This is operating system and software independant. Norton
won't interrupt and wake up the screen.

Recently dumped Norton for McAfee in any case.

Thanks for info re the button.
