Default Could the radiation decrease when the display gets into the screen saving status?


Could the radiation is weakened when the display gets into the screen saving
status?

Thanks.

There are many different types of radiation. Which type are you
reffering to? You probably get as much from things like blow dryers,
electric razors, microwave ovens and any appliance with an electric
motor. You certainly are exposed to more on ANY jet airline flight.

Unless your monitor is REALLY OLD, it's unlikely to produce harmfull
radiation levels of any type under normal operation. Even the levels of
the older ones were in a low range which was regarded as safe by most
experts. Screen savers probably wouldn't reduce the barely measureable
emissions, but the power saving mode most monitors enter when the video
card isn't sending a signal would probably eliminate most of those. Flat
Panels operate in a way that wouldn't be prone to generate anything
other than SMALL amounts of electromagnetic waves. CRT based displays
normally have internal shielding that takes care of the low levels the
older models generated.

To which type of radiation do you refer?
Nuclear?
Radio Frequency?
Electro-Magnetic?
Microwave?
Alien Mind-Control?

To which type of screen do you refer?
Pre-Employment?
Toxicity?
Drug?
Insect?
TV?
LCD?
CRT?

Generally speaking, few screens weaken Alien Mind-Control Radiation.
Disclosing that you are under the influence of Alien Mind-Control Radiation
may, however, clog a Pre-Employment screen.

Yes, if you blank the screen.

Yes. The radiation produced by CRTs are within recommended daily
allowances for most frequencies (X-Ray, etc.) with the possible
exception of one of the UV bands - that's according to one particular
report I read on this. Modern screens produce less of this stuff that
older ones, possibly because the glass on the front is thicker; in any
case, modern CRT screens are built to more stringent standards.

Reducing brightness will reduce radiation, while increasing the
refresh rate will reduce flicker, another source of fatigue.

When the screen saver comes on, there won't be much change in
radiation or current draw. When the screen goes into a suspend mode,
the CRT scanning beam stops, and current draw is reduced - almost to
off, if the deepest of power saving modes is used. With no scanning
beam in action, radiation should drop to very low levels.

what internal shielding are you referring to for CRT displays?

The CRT tube is lead coated.
