So… they spent thousands of hours with a still frame of the negative of that image? And don’t know his name? It doesn’t even look like the TV is plugged in… burn-in doesn’t show when a TV is off. It’s based on the “pixels”(obviously more detailed than that, and varies depending on what tech the TV is) having used up more of the total lifespan of the colors that were on for so long. In the types of TVs that can burn in, the color elements of each pixel slowly darken the more they are used. Though, generally not evenly. Each color would have a different average life span. So the image wouldn’t even burn in this clearly and would sort of hue shift, specifically away from blue, as it is pretty much always the color with the shortest life span.

Anyway, to sum up, bull shit, photoshopped.
I mean, pretty obviously fake. You can see the overlaid image bleeding off the edges of the TV frame into the background. Haha.
IDK about new TVs but CRTs can definitely show burn-in when off.
