I've owned multiple CRT RPTVs and never had any burnin problems. This includs after leaving 18 Wheeler Pro Tricker's static start screen on for a full weekend accidently, and normal use in addition to occasional accidents like that. Although, I don't watch TV really, just movies and game.

As long as you have the contrast at ~40% or less and don't watch a channel with a ticker/logo all day long, you'll probably be safe. There is always the risk, but it is rare in my occasion. I've only seen burnin once in all my years of CRT monitors and RPTVs I've owned, and it was with a junky Princeton monitor my dad bought at Costco - it got his Windows desktop burned into it as he had no screensaver.
