Why not let it shut off the screen, which is enabled by default?
Any screen can experience burn in.

For LCD screens it doesn't matter. They use the same amount of power whether the screen is black or white. There's no way to damage the screen by displaying an image.
OLED displays are vulnerable to burn in. So a bright static image left on screen for a long time can result in a latent image that's permanently burned into the screen. That's because the OLEDs degrade faster when they're brighter. But a black screen should have no effect.
It depends on the type of screen. LCD or OLED? No. Just have the screen turn off after a minute or two through the power settings if you need the whole machine to continue running.
Black is better than anything else, off is best. See if there's a key combo for your laptop to turn off the display
