Burn-in

I have an interesting question about burn-in...

Are there certain types of tubes that are more susceptible to burnin than others? How do they make "burn resistant" CRTs?

For instance, there's an ancient CRT surveillance monitor with the 4-up display (4 squares on 1 screen) at a local Illwill, and it's been there for YEARS. Recently i saw it with the power off, and there weren't any burns. Once, over a long weekend the computer restarted unattended and was at the BIOS screen (I have a password) for lord knows how long... and there weren't any burns on my Trinitron.

Yet, there are some displays at the bank which run a slideshow and they have a horrendous BSOD burn on them....

How long do you think it would take one of those tiny viewfinder, old roundie colour or BW tubes to burn?
