Screensavers: Do they really save the screen?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

I was wondering that in this day and age of technology, do the
screensavers that you can buy from various service providers... do they
really "save" your screen? I remember in the old days when you could
get screen burn from some image or text being displayed on a moniter for
too long.

I am mainly refering to the "candy bar" style phones... not the flip
models where the screen turns off when you close the flip. Has anyone
experienced screen burn on any newer model of phone in the last couple
of years?

My eight month old Nokia developed a burned-in image that looks like the
Virgin Mary. I put it on display in my living room window most weekends and
people drive from all over the county to see it. Lately, I've noticed it
starts to "weep" on many holy days of obligation.

Verizon reminded me that since they can modify the customer agreement at
their sole discretion, they're going to start levying a special "religious
relic fee" each month on my bill.

And using up more battery.
