screensavers

[ginsengavenger]

my monitor turns off after fifteen minutes. saves the backlight i guess.

keeping it on all the time is better

is it? i always kind of suspected but never researched it... how come the thing turns itself off then? i'll have to look it up.

Energysaver shuts the monitor down, that is what I use, no pancy screen shaver for me.

I just use the default XP one, I never look at it anyway...

Screensavers was used to not make the image burn into the monitor on old monitors.

Its not happening anymore with new monitors aka screensavers are of no use no more.

But that doesn't says you can't use one for fun or just to have something nice to look at while you are resting from the computer.

And yes i have seen jhonny castaway aswell

And why it still shuts off btw is because it is still set to default to shut off the monitor and can be changed.

Its one of the first things i change when i have done a format couse i want my computer awailable at all time.

Having your monitor turn off saves power too.

it takes more energy to power up and turn off the monitor each time, than having it on all the time
