No. Far more efficient for the screen to just switch off.

Never, since I switched to an LCD monitor 13 years ago. Although actually I stopped some time before that, as better to save power with the PC idling, then going to sleep, rather than running a screensaver.
Yeah, but it's actually some animated wallpapers rathen than a Screensaver... But no, I never used screensavers actually. My first contact with a computer was about 2002, and it had a screensaver on it. Since I learned hwo to disable it I've disabled and never got back to it.
I do want a nice OLED Monitor though, heard there were some models announced. Probably I'll need to start using a screensaver when I get an OLED for myself.
No not anymore, always turn the screen off or it times out and goes off after 10 minutes of inactivity
No, I either turn the monitor off or turn the PC off.
Grab that. Get that. Check it out. Bring that here. Grab anything useful. Take anything good.
That, Exactly.Originally Posted by Ferral
No, I haven't used one for years. I just let the screen sleep.
I would if there were one I liked enough.
I tried one of those Live Wallpaper things off Steam, but there was nothing good on it.
My screen does power off, but the last update stuffed something on VLC and I can't remember where the setting is to stop the shutdown from interrupting my video. It's really interfering with MacGyver!!

No. If I am away from the pc for 10 minutes the screen goes to sleep and if I am not going to be using the pc it's shut down and switched off at the wall.
Not used one since Windows 95? I just let my monitor go to sleep when the PC is idle for 10 mins.
No. Screen-off timer.
Like many of the others: not for a very long time, since the switch away from CRTs...
I have the monitors set to turn off after a few mins, and the system to hibernate after an hour or so...
Yes - I have a Matrix code waterfall screensaver
used to have Johnny Castaway screensaver up until 2008.
now I just wait until the inactivity thing turns it off.
Yes I do, and it is the ribbon. I like the look of it going across multiple monitors (albeit with the aid of another piece of software).
It's only if I'm away for a few minutes that it kicks in, if it gets to a certain amount of time the monitors will indeed go off.
Naturally, if I specifically plan to leave for longer then I will manually turn them off instead.
