Most of us have probably never seen it, so haven't come up with strategies to deal with it.
My Monitor has >14000 hours on it, with not even a hint of IR.
It is an rare phenomena outside of public display LCDs that are on full brightness 24/7 for year and have likely cooked their LCD layers. There is likely no coming back from that.
For IPS/VA: Use a pure white image, since the default/off-state of IPS/VA panels is to block light.
For TN: Black image, since the off-state is non-blocking.
Maybe even periodically flash between black and white to exercise the crystals, so that they "forget" their previous state.
