My OS is Windows XP SP 2, 2 GB of RAM, 40 GB on the hard, 320 GB external. Speed is 1.8 Ghz on a Pentium 4 chip board. My video card is a 64 MB Geforce. Out of habit I always left my PC on and even with various screensavers, I have minor screen burn. I know LCD doesn't burn, so should I bother with screen savers or shut off the screen when not using or should I always shut off the PC when not in use?

With this particular brand, a message on the screen when I turned it on said the monitor was made for and configured for Vista, which was not in the advertising nor on the box. I'm running an IE7 browser and I kicked up the screen resolution to 32 bits and 1280 x 800. Although everything is brilliant, but slightly stretched out, I was wondering if there any tweaks or tricks someone might suggest to get the maximum benefit from my new screen?

Thanks in advance for your attention. I look forward to your comments. John
