I tried to find a clear picture of what is meant by screen burn in, but as you can imagine its hard to take a picture of it. This discoloration would then be visible as a faint image overlaying whatever else was displayed on the monitor. The phosphors, used to make the pixels in the display, would glow at a constant rate for such a long period of time that they would actually discolor the glass surface of the CRT. Screensavers were originally designed to protect computer monitors from phosphor burn-in.Įarly CRT monitors, particularly monochrome ones, had problems with the same image being displayed for a long time on your monitor. See the cat ready to attack those fish in that screensaver on the computer? (giggles) I love it!
In today’s lesson we will show you how to turn on your screen saver, or turn off your screensaver. Today on How-To Guide for the Computer Beginner we will be learning about computer screensavers.
