I've been hunting around on the net for some software which might
protect my plasma against burn. As we have a PC input which we use for
films/music etc, I'm a bit concerned that one day I'm going to fall
asleep in front of the tv and wake up to see a static image on the
screen that's been burning away all night.
I was hoping someone would have made some software which runs as a
service and just monitors the screen actively - if it notices
insufficient change in the image over a 10 minute period it would
flash the screen to black or at least invert it. Anyone have any ideas
if this is available anywhere?

perhaps I should have explained it better... screensavers wont kick in
if Media Player or a visualisation is in full screen... any way to
over ride this?
