QOTW: Do you still use a screensaver?

[Ron-ski]

The only pc we have a screen saver on is our media pc in the lounge, and only if we have it playing music, we'll then play a slide show of our photos.

I didn’t use a screensaver until recently when I went through some really old files I had and found The Matrix Trilogy Screensaver. I just had to try it out again and is now using it for the cool effects. But after an hour the screen shuts down.

I'd completely forgotten about The Matrix Trilogy Screensaver! Just tried it and it still looks great. That's now my screensaver.

I had forgotten about it too until Amelek mentioned it, and now I'm feeling nostalgic enough to be tempted towards making it mine too.

Particularly given the fact that I've never tried it on my multi-monitor setup.

Personally I just let the monitor go to sleep, green world and all that

Yes: "blank" then "preview" manually,
which not only blanks the screen,
but it also gives the video card a rest.
(I'm doing tests to see which PC components
continue working the longest after their
factory warranties expire: so far,
ASUS motherboards are WAY out in front
on this measure. I hesitate to identify
those motherboards, because some of you
will probably laugh at my "obsolescence"

No screensaver to be seen, the screen is off/idle (no backlight, no image) after 15mins.

Yep. Matrix screen saver. It's only on for a little bit, but still quicker to cancel a screen saver than to wake a sleeping monitor. Plus it gives me quiet confidence that Windows 10 isn't having a paddy with power and might actually put my PC to sleep if I walk away.

No. Screen-off timer.
