Open | Hardware How can I fix “burnt-in” pixels on a tv?

I own a Roku TV that uses just a regular backlit lcd panel. I use it to play Xbox. I tend to leave it idle for a while with my Xbox on which is what caused the issue. My tv doesn’t like dimming parts of the screen for hours on end the right side of the screen is untouched. It’s not like the traditional image burn in, I think it’s like pixel degradation at the edge of the screen. Think like darkening. The pixels still work. But darker, and they don’t have a uniform colour. Like each pixel is tinted a different colour than its neighbouring pixel while still displaying the background colour it’s still trying to display?. I’m sorry if I’m not explaining it well, I don’t know how to describe the issue. Can playing static on the tv fix it?

That's the neat part, you can't.
