Selecting a screen saver
Caution
If you are using an
external CRT monitor,
an image may get
burned in on your
monitor screen if you
leave your notebook
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.
