![]() See section 3 for alternative techniques. It looks like this method no longer works with recent version of Raspbian. Xset s off disable the screen saver, xset -dpms disables the DPMS ( Display Power Management Signaling) and xset s noblank tells to X server to not blank the video device. You can disable the blank screen once with the following command line instructions: I successfully tested both methods with a Raspberry Pi 2 + latest Raspbian Jessie (v4.1) + 7-inch touchscreen display. By default the screen is blanked after around 10/15 minutes if no user input (mouse or keyboard) is detected. Plasma, definitely subject to burn in and, like CRTs, not much can be done to reverse it.Here are two techniques to disable the blank screen on the Raspberry Pi. In neither case do they have any substantial effect on burn-in. 46″ and larger require a brighter lamp module that does eventually burn out and need to be replaced. Eventually, any “burn-in” will fade, but LCD pixels can still be damaged.Ĭoncerning the backlight technology of LCD’s, monitors (TV’s) 42″ and smaller use a permanent built-in light source that is not user-replaceable. Leaving an image on for too long will cause the response time to slow way down. However, liquid crystals work by twisting to allow more or less backlight through, and are measured for response time in providing video definition. LCD’s (including DLP, a specialized type of LCD) are not SO susceptible since they do not use phosphors. Nothing could undo the effect, though much was tried. There’s almost no reasonĪs a video/TV engineer for nearly 40 years, I concur with most of the comments, but with a few modifications.ĬRTs were extremely susceptible to burn-in due to the phosphors becoming exactly that: burned in the image left on them. Perhaps a slightly more important priority.īut ultimately, yes, use a screen saver. Next guy, but in all honesty, I think that a little energy saving is Yes, I know, I like fish tanks and flying toasters as much as the Return, except that it might take a few additional seconds to warm up And it behaves much like a screen saver when you Which reduces power consumption dramatically. Power from most of the display circuitry in the device completely, Speaking of power, make sure to select the power options nowĪvailable on many systems that will actually turn the monitor To be around but not using the computer, and it doesn’t advertise theįact that your computer is running if you’re not around. Saves a tiny bit of power, it doesn’t visually distract if you happen Specifically want to see something, just have the monitor go black. People can’t easily access your computer while you’re not around. That requires a password to get out of the screen saver. While you’re away from your computer, you need to make sure to enable the option Particularly if you’re in an environment where people can walk by So, yes, I do recommend running a screen saver, regardless of your There is risk – no matter how small – then they can help. So it leads me to this position: screen savers don’t hurt, and if Is thatĪ permanent problem? I’m not sure. Screens when I move a window that’s been in one place too long. What I can tell you is that I have seen ghosting on my LCD (I suspect a more knowledgeable reader or two will chime in, in theĬomments). I don’t know just how serious a burn-in problem exists with LCD screens Now, I’ll be totally honest here and say that, quite frankly, But that doesn’t mean that they aren’t susceptible to something Have the glass surface on which the image can be unintentionally burned LCDs naturally use a different technology for display – they don’t With an always-changing image on the screen, burn-in was Too long a ghost of that image would become permanently burned into the “If a picture was displayed on the screen for ![]() Replace it, typically with other images, or in the case of desktopĬomputers, animations like flying toasters, pipes or lately even They would remove that image that was displayed 99% of the time and Some period of inactivity when presumably no one was using the display.

Old “CRT” monitors (the ones based on big glass picture tubes that In fact, I use a couple of specific settings related to that, and
