Re: screen saver.

Hi,

Normal operation and Screen Saver On use (nearly) the same amount of power.
If you want to save power, set Energy Management (below Screen Saver
settings)
Turn Off Monitor after : ?? Minutes.

There is one downside for CRT-monitors ONLY, the Turn Off Monitor feature
causes
additional Cooling Down - Warming Up cycles which may reduce monitor life
span.
