For the newer people in the crowd: A screen protector is part of the immune system for electronic displays.

We always called them screensavers, but at some point after screensavers were no longer really necessary, people started calling backgrounds screensavers. I don't know why I let it bother me so much.

Flat CRTs or LCD/Plasma?
