Selecting a screen saver
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.
