I hope... maybe pray... that you're kidding. ScreenCleaner Pro is an April Fools day joke. It "cleans" your screen by slowly darkening/reducing contrast over 5-10 minutes, then reverts the settings it has made.

I'm going to assume you're kidding, it will make me feel better.

Well, sure, of course it's an April fools joke. But it works! ScreenCleaner Pro does a fantastic job of rejuvenating LCD monitors (and even some CRTs) down to the pixel level. The proof is in the pudding and after running ScreenCleaner Pro most users report brighter monitors with sharper images, more depth of color, better contrast, etc. etc. Behind the simple graphic animation that looks like a joke, there are sophisticated processes and algorithms going on that quickly return old monitors back to their youthful vigor. Please see my review of ScreenCleaner Pro for more information. Best regards to you.

No, it really doesn't work. Not according to any review I've ever seen and not according to the people who wrote the software.

The proof is in the pudding indeed. Since the people who wrote ScreenCleaner Pro *acknowledge* it doesn't do anything, it seems that would be proof enough. By your logic, going into the monitors control panel and changing brightness or contrast would also "clean" your screen once you turned them back up?

You are aware that after 10 minutes, all it has done is dimmed your screen, right?

The post from Ambrosia saying it does NOTHING:

And a followup from Ambrosia:

"no, please don't think we are sitting here laughing. The joke was around April and the few following months. I just feel bad that you thought we were doing a valuable service. Trust us, if there was a way for Ambrosia to fix your old screens we would gladly help out!"

So, if you can demonstrate this "pudding" you speak of by showing a review that isn't followed by several people mocking the heck out of the original poster who had no clue, I'd be happy to believe you.

Upon second read, I've decided that you're just trying to perpetuate the joke, which is fine... but I don't think it's really in the spirit of the original April Fools Joke.
