Black
A simple screensaver that temporarily blanks out the image on your screen with a solid black color. The effect is similar to the stand-by mode, which is somewhat more energy efficient, but the screensaver allows you to return to your desktop more quickly, without having to wait for your monitor to reactivate, when you move your mouse or press a key.

This is the same as the default windows "blank". It maintains a dull glow and is not truly black.
Nice and simple
