Do you still need a screensaver today?

You can still find the screensaver on all computers. But do you really need another one today? We have summarized all the information in this practical tip for you.

Do you still bring a screensaver today?

• In the early years of PC use, the screensavers were supposed to put the system into a kind of "hibernation".
• The screensaver should save resources and electricity when the PC is no longer in use.
• However, technology has changed and energy-saving PCs and screens have been developed.
• With old tube screens there was the problem that the image could burn in after a while without a screen saver.
• However, today you will hardly find any tube screens, but rather LCD or LED screens, where this problem cannot occur.
• In newer devices, the screen saver is more for entertainment than protecting the screen.
• To really save electricity, you should check and adjust the "Energy Settings" in the "Control Panel".
