It is referred to as "LCD Image Persistence":
LCD Image Persistence
Image persistence on LCD's is generally caused by the continuous display of static graphics on the screen for extended periods of time. The static image causes the LCD crystals to remember their location in order to generate the colours of a given image. When a different colour is then displayed in that location, the colour will not be displayed correctly and may show a faint image of the "picture" that was previously displayed.
LCD image persistence can be prevented by:-
1. Using windows power management settings to turn off the screen after a few minutes of screen idle time
2. Using a rotating / moving screen saver
3. Rotating the background images/wallpaper on the desktop
4. Turning off the monitor when not in use
If your LCD is suffering from image persistence try the following:-
1. Turn off your monitor for extended periods of time, you may need to do this for several hours or even several days.
2. Use a screen saver with a rotating image and run it for extended periods of time. The rotating colour palette should help remove the persistent image but it could take a long time
3. Run the screen with a single solid colour or bright white background for an extended period of time, this will cause all of the crystals to be reset at a single colour setting and should erase any previous image persistence.

Not an issue with modern day LCD's. It's not the same as plasma or CRT burn-in either. If it does show up at all, its only on monitors that are on the same image for 24/7/365. It is temporary and usually avoided by turning the monitor off for as little as 15 minutes per day. This will surely never be an issue in your car. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, the screens on the Corvette navigation is an OLED NOT an LCD. So don't worry about it and enjoy your car.

You are absolutely correct, although "burn-in" is possible with all LCD screens, one would have to leave the same image on the screen continuously - as you said, 24/7/365! And I agree with you as well, that the OP should just enjoy his Vette, however, if it is a concern of his, he can always turn the screen off.
SCREEN OFF
Touch SCREEN OFF to turn off the screen. Press the NAV, SRCE, or / (audio adjust) hard key
to turn the screen back on.
