Blanking the screen is probably the best screensaver you can use and is one of the many options. --- End quote --- Not configured by default on Mac or windows at least I should say. |

| PlainName:
What do you do when the computer is awake and being used? Particularly with large screens, do you remove all shortcut icons from the desktop and have a plain black background? If not, don't those icons burn in (they are static and being displayed all day every day)? |

My desktop isn’t littered with trash to burn onto any screens. Learned that one years ago with an FD Trinitron :-DD. |
| rsjsouza:
Perhaps my M.O. is different thsn others, but I always have icons on the desktop and have done this for decades since the NEC Multisync 3D days and never had a problem of etching icons on the screen. Part of the reason is that I always took good care of my screens, leaving either a screen saver (flying windows or Johnny Castaway fans around?) and turned off screen and cimputer when unused (even the ones at work/labs). |
