zivan56 Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 I use my laptop all the time, so I just use the screen lock key and it turns off the lcd. So there is no point for a screensaver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawtai Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 I don't use any screen saver on my comp, although sometimes I'll use the slideshow option and just look at different pictures. I usually just lock my computer and turn off the monitor if I'm not going to be at my computer for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozart Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 What are the screensavers, uh? Screensavers were originally used on older monochrome and coloured monitors to prevent damaging the picture tube. Screensavers are not really necessary anymore but can be amusing and even useful. Corkboard is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinh Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 i have my monitor turn off after 5 mins. no use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomis_nehc Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 I used to set it to BLANK. But recently I have found that leaving your comp always on (monitor too) makes the back of the monitor pretty damn hot. (duh) So I dunno, shouldn't be too big of a deal, but I am leaving it off for the night now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 i use the starfield screensaver, it goes off after 15 minutes i think. i dunno... since im running dual monitor it looks cool to have the starfield split onto both screens at once :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToastGodSupreme Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Sorta... I use the black one. My monitor blacks out in 10 min, then shuts of in 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 I use Bliss, it just brightens up the room and looks great on my comp anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicedreams Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 I just use a simple low processor usage screen saver when I'm at work and I have my monitor turn off after awhile at home with no screen savers. Does anyone know where to download some low processor usage screen savers? Not the 3D ones that use like 100% all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amoeba Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 I have my Blank Screen Saver go on in 2minutes idle time and then my monitor turns off after 5minutes of idle time. I hate seeing my computer idle and the monitor (19" viewsonic flat CRT thangy, so it takes a lot of power). just on. Power saved is a baby panda in China saved!
