NOT REALLY, Older displays used technology that used Phosphors that were charged to make colors display. When an image was on the screen too long the phosphors would sometimes "burn out" with the constant energy and leave that ghastly image on the screen called "BURN IN". A LCD screen uses a completely different technology, (liquid crystals that are charged). A LCD screen can sometimes get what is called "IMAGE PERSISTANCE" which kinda creates a ghost image on the screen. This is usually only a temporary problem which can be easily fixed. The best way is to make a background that is completely white and have the screen display that for a few hours. When you do this you can bring up the brightness on your display to its max setting. This should solve any persistant images on the screen. SO.... a screen saver wouldn't hurt, but it won't cause as many problems as going without used to. Hope this helps Cheers

No. The only monitors that really need screen savers are the ones using a cathode ray tube.
