I’m guessing most users here have LCD monitors. The technological need for a screensaver is pretty much gone these days.Does anyone still use screensavers? Any idea what percentage of computers have anything other than the original preloaded screensavers?

Actually Screensavers can be important on LCD, you can still get damage “stuck pixels” if the screen is left static too long for hours and you don’t have it shut-off the monitor after a period of inactivity.

A screen saver doesn’t change the response time, refresh rate, color depth, or contrast of a monitor.

Yes, a screensaver with photos from my last holiday.

And after a few minutes it turns to standby modus to save energy.

No , I don’t use screensaver at this time…Earlier i used but not yet

Yep.

I have Windows boses and I select “None”, which means my screens go black after the pre-set time.

Works for me!

The use of screen saver is beneficial for the monitor, and additionally having a screensaver makes to get more attention from other people and it gives more pleasing feeling while having a nice screen saver on the screen!!
