Bonez ScreenSaver Usage TipDoes and LCD screen need a screen saver? - Version: 1.3.2, 10/12/2008 06:08AM PST

Not really. CTR displays used a phosphor-based technology that were stimulated by an electron beam to make a colored display. When an image was on the screen too long the phosphors would sometimes "burn out" with the constant energy and leave that ghastly image on the screen commonly called "BURN IN".

An LCD screen uses a completely different technology, (liquid crystals that are charged and illuminated with a backlight). Charging the liquid crystals actually reduces the screen life by using the backlight.

An LCD screen can sometimes get what is called "IMAGE PERSISTENCE" which kinda creates a ghost image on the screen. This is usually only a temporary problem which can be easily fixed by creating a background that is completely white and have the screen display that for a few hours with the brightness turned way down (saving the backlight).

In my book, using a screen saver on an LCD screen is actually a screen destroyer.

all he did was walk around the "box" of the graveyard and a few jumping jacks. wasn't very impressive.

doesn't constantly displaying a static background image sort of defeat the purpose of a screen saver (to prevent image burn-in)?

this should more properly be labelled a "idle system screen show" or something..

I'm just not a big fan of screensavers that use pre-rendered 3D graphics. After seeing the amazing things OpenGL savers can do, these sprite based savers are just not that interesting. Just my 2ยข...
