Yeh it looks like it!  Actually there is a SOny 11" OLED TV on Amazon, I was 
reading through the user manual (from the Sony website) and it said that is 
shifts the image around every so often to avoid burn-in.

I would be more concerned though about people who use their computers a lot, 
I mean my screen saver is hardly ever on because I'm mostly at the computer 
during the day.  There's a timer on my old monitor (that I just use as a 
secondary display for my laptop now) which says it's been on for 6519 hours. 
I would hazard a guess that for the majority of that it's said "Start" at 
the bottom left corner!  Even with standard LEDs, after 6000 hours you are 
going to see at least a 10% drop in brightness (which you hardly notice on 
LCD because it affects the whole image), I think this would be quite visible 
if it varied pixel by pixel though.
