After seeing that even with the brightness turned down all the way, from
the keyboard, the login screen was still visible in a dark room, I began
to wonder if you could still get screen burn-in if you left it on for
long periods of time.  The next here at school has a burn in of the login
window that is fairly noticible.  
What I was thinking was that either the screen dimmer could do something other
than just dim the screen, ie. open a black window or a window with a moving
pattern, or maybe after long periods of idle time the monitor could be turned
completely off.

Just ideas, maybe I'm just worrying over nothing.
