An all white image displayed for a long time probably will get rid of it. It is funny that black, the absence of light is what caused your line. Or is it the edge of the 4:3 that actually is the burned in portion?

The only reason I can think an Apple could be more susceptible to this is that they really were the first to bundle LCDs rather than CRTs. Though, I have had laptops that have had burnin before screensavers were commonplace -- Pre windows, when you had a login screen.
It is the edge of the 4:3 that has the line. I am going to set it up tonight to just have white on the tv for about 13 hours to see what happens.
