Blank screen plus monitor power down.

If I'm not there, why should there be anything on the monitor? Much better and cheaper to just shut the thing down or put it in sleep mode.

I use the 3D flying texture, with an American Flag texture I made. Looks pretty good and I haven't gotten tired of it in about 9 months.

The built-into-windows mystify screensaver. I used them because they were simple and I was previously running DC projects on my systems.

The only monitor that doesn't power down is on my proxy...that way if it craps out for some reason then I can tell because the screensaver will stop working. :)

None. If I'm away from the computer for more than about 15 minutes, I just shut the monitor off.

Yup, I'm set @ 5 minutes to power down.

All 4 of the monitors in my house shut off after 5 minutes of no use :) I don't like screen savers.

My wife uses this which is well worth the $20 she paid. The fishies look so real.

I prefer the pretty colorful SETI graphics, so I leave mine on that who cares if I lose a WU or two.

I have a matrix code screen saver, simply beacuse it looks cool with multiple monitors. But I power down the monitors after 20min.

As others do, I use Matrix SS. Others that are using that, ThaGrandCow, Yomicron, and jjones, do you have the on that spells out MATRIX and then goes through the whole white rabbit bit before going to code?
