Screen Burn in Issue...

I have an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) and for the past few years I've noticed that I am getting alot of burn in around the edges of the screen. For example, when I moved the files I had here below, they left this burn in behind. It last a few min and then disappears. I am pretty positive I never had this happen for the first 5 or more years of owning the iMac and wondering why it's happening now? I have the same thing happen for title bars or apps etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Apple refers to it as Image Persistences.

see > Avoiding image persistence on Apple LCD displays - Apple Support (DE)

Most of the time it can be reduced by setting the display to sleep after 10 minutes and by moving windows around more often instead of in-gauging the screensaver.
