If you have your system idle long enough for it to burn a image into it then
you just need a picture frame instead of a computer. I work and don't have
more than a hour of down time and when I am not working I am sleep. If in
those times my computer burns a image into the screen then maybe we should
talk to
Apple.

Usually takes quite a long time to burn in an image. Mostly happens in
industrial applications like ATMs where the same login screen is shown for
days on end. Not sure this happens anymore with LCD.

Ok, here's my 2 cents worth for what its worth.
Firstly, I really don't know why screen savers are such an issue here as
most of us cannot see them in any case, the best screen saver in
existence is that which turns the monitor off.
Now screen burning? Well yes, its been talked about but yet (to my
knowledge and according to all the technical articles I've read), no one
has ever managed to burn an image into a screen by leaving it displayed
so that puts that myth to rest. So if you want a good Screen saver, just
set your display to go to sleep after 1 minute or so, saves your memory,
saves processing power etc.

OK, I've been fiddling around with the energy saver and screen saver
settings. I know that you can ruin some monitors if you leave them on
without a screen saver. However, I want to stop the monitor from
shutting off when I am watching something like a DVD or an MLB ballgame.
How would you guys adjust the monitor settings if you owned an imac?
