Do you have your monitor turn off automatically after a while ?

Yep, mine gets cut on when I get home from work and doesn't get cut off till I go to bed.
It also doesn't go to sleep, I hate waking a computer.

I set for sleep in 1 hour.
Sometimes I think about things, have to handle interruptions / questions, so 15 minutes isn't enough to me.

I do that with the monitors but I sleep/wake the PC manually. Only takes a second with an SSD but I don't bother turning if off while I still might conceivably be using it.

My monitors turn off after an hour. Only because I enjoy staring at screensavers. It's an ASD thing...

Mine is always on.
I haven't seen what a screensaver looks like in... years.
PC is on 24/7. Only time it's off is if the power goes out.
Back when I was mining, having the screensaver come on or the screen turn off made my GPU's crash and require a reboot. I'm just too lazy to switch it back lol.

I downloaded one of those pixel fixing screen savers once. Forgot I put it in there, hadn't seen it for weeks. Came into my office with that snow swirling on all 3 monitors, I thought I had crashed my machine!
Ripped that thing out right then and there!

Now that I think about it... I haven't used a screensaver since Win98 and the 3D Pipes.

Anyone remember that one screensaver that melted the display?
I think they called it decay...it took a snapshot of whatever was on display, then it began sliding and dripping downward, slowly.

Best screen saver of all time has to be starfield. I could not friggin believe it when they took it out of Windows. It was like Star Trek or something. Great stuff. My second fav was the flag screen saver that defaulted to a microsoft logo "blowing in the wind". They killed that too... They kill all my fav screensavers...
For those too young to remember Starfield (I think they killed it with 2000 or XP)
Here is a vid
