Do you set a screen saver while you leave for pc on for a while?

Screensaver is not only to prevent people from viewing your screen when you are not there, I read that pixels on the screen get damaged when they show "white" color for long periods without any movement, so using a screensaver or turning the monitor off is better when there's nothing moving on the screen. Personally I use the "turn monitor off" in the power management, it turns the monitor off when not in use and it starts back on as soon as you move the mouse like the screensaver, this way it saves power too as screensavers consume power and ram as someone already mentioned here.

Nope, I don't use any screen savers on my PC. I guess it's kiddish to have a screen saver these days. That's my thoughts ofcourse. Some people may like it too.

yeah I use screen saver.. I am using XP's inbuilt screen saver..

I dont use a screen saver but I let my system in stand by mode when I leave it. And no one dare to touch my PC

I usually lock my PC if i am going out for a while and i dont use a screen saver, i turn off the monitor.

lol..is it even proved that it consumes less energy? i just turn my monitor off...its better that way plus screen savers consume a lot of RAM.

i hate screen savers infact i switch off them

Yes I use the falls screen saver

yah.. i have a lot of screen saver.. i download some of them from internet...it's cool...

no,my monitor automatically turns after 1 minute

yes i have a screen saver on pc, its me and my best friends pic togather....

I don't use a screen saver. Besides my kids, I am the only one who uses it.

No I don't use a screen saver because it's an old concept. Screensavers indeed consume RAM as another user posted here but they were especially created for old types of monitors (black and white) wich if you have left them on for a long time with the same image beeing displayed, that image would remain imprinted on the screen. Nowadays screensaver are used just for fun and for the special effect.

I put screensaver when i will be awhile for 10 minutes or less but if i will be gone for more than ten minutes i usually turn off the monitor. i don't want to waste electricity.

As I am the only one using my PC, whenever I go off for some time I switch off the monitor. It saves resources I feel. Now when I remember that I used to spend hours online to get a good screen saver which I now rarely use.

normally windows have its own default screensaver,so i dint need to setup one

No I personally don't set a screensaver .Infact I don't like screensavers even a bit. It was only once when I applied screensaver on my pc and that was when I installed the Lord of the rings screensaver pack.

i use the the power option which turns off my pc automatically if i don't use it for a longer period but first for few minutes it shuts off screen an then pc.

I even disconnect the monitor not to spend with energy;) to screensaver does not have utility for me

Yes. The screen saver is there for exactly what it says saving the screen from burnout. If an image is left on the screen for a long time it can burn the images onto it for good. so its not just there to cover up your work or for pretty pictures. It actually has a purpose. I also turn off my monitor if leaving for extended periods.
