No screen saver, have it simply set to put the display to sleep after a 
reasonable amount of time for you, because doing so will likely extend 
the life of the LCD display.

Screen saver only if you wanna, but  having your LCD on all day with a 
screen saver is not good for the display. So balance what you want to 
do.

For example 5 minutes no activity Screen saver, then after 20 minutes 
the display turns off (goes to sleep).

LCD's don't burn in they burn out.....,right.
