Abstract
A system for minimizing screen burn on a display screen caused by the display of video images that do not occupy the entire area of the display screen includes video image processing circuitry for formatting a received video signal to display an active image of the video signal on a portion of the display screen, and for displaying a screen saver on portions of the display screen that are not occupied by the formatted active image. A screen saver library provides a screen saver from a plurality of screen savers. Each screen saver in the plurality of screen savers occupies portions of the display screen that are not occupied by an active image.
