Problem with screen burn #9

Closed SaschaPeukert closed 10 years ago

When you look at the Monitor, you'll see that parts of the text are already slightly burned in the screen. I guess it needs some kind of Screensaver or Power Saving Mode, at least for the nighttimes where nobody will look at it anyway.

You severely underestimate my needs for the infoscreen :P

Yeah, i've seen it. Next bus in 332 minutes... very helpful ^^

How about a night mode where if displays the text in white and the background black or dark grey during the late evening?

Another option would be to have more than just one news item for months…

The pi's HDMI port will now be turned off between 1 am and 7 am. Added the following to /etc/crontab:

1 1   * * *   pi      /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o &
1 7   * * *   pi      /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p && timeout 1 startx &
