<Robinson!)...is there any point to having a screen saver on a machine wit <an LCD display? That is, is there any advantage to having the LCD pixels <all black (or black with a distraction running around the screen) as <opposed to steady, showing the last thing you did? < - Mark LCD life is way out there in hours if one proviso is met at the design level. NONE of the elements should see a DC bias of any sort, failure to meet that requirement insures destruction by deplating the elements and contaminating the LC fluid. High temperatures can be destructive as well. My experience I have a 18 year old 5x7x16 pannel that still works great. Allison
