Selecting a screen saver
If your monitor is not a flat panel display, an image may get burned in on your
monitor screen if you leave your computer on for long periods of time without
using it. You should use a screen saver which constantly changes its image to
avoid this damage. Flat panel displays cannot be damaged with image burn-in.
You can also use a screen saver to keep others from viewing your screen while
you are away from your computer. Windows supplies a variety of screen savers
that you can choose from, and many more are available from the Internet and
as commercial products.
