I wouldn't call it unnecessary, for many of us it's an important feature in order to prevent image retention.
It's taking a while for the updates to come through so it's already kind of annoying that I'll be at least a few weeks without it if it's removed altogether :/ Just hope it gets added back in.
I mean one could just turn off the tv.
Well that's kinda the purpose of having a screensaver, so you don't have to!
Just fix the bug and add in an enable/disable screensaver option like Plex Home Theater has for anyone that doesn't want to use it.
Update is live !
Hehe. I just came here to post that. The update should be available now.
This update is just the removal of the screensaver (for now). Don't worry though, we are still hard at work at (more exciting) changes :)
So is it gone for good or is it coming back in a later version? If coming back, hopefully with some type of setting to turn it off?
Thanks for the update, hopefully we'll get a bigger one soon though. :D
So it sounds like this will stay Plexpass only for awhile longer?
Awesome, thanks Dom C.

how do i do the update or know if the update was done?
Ah crap… The screensaver was really useful. It forces us to update, doesn’t it?
A toggle option would have been preferred. Bug rarely affected me, but the feature itself was always helpful.

Yeah that makes sense, it would be fine if the system screensaver was a little better and had these options.. The system screensaver takes around 10 minutes to come on and doesn't dim the screen very much unfortunately, and I can't find any options to control it :(
On the Xbox feedback forums there is a thread here and here which could use some votes!
Plasmas seem to vary a bit, a lot of people say Panasonic plasmas have no burn in issues. I ran colour patterns etc for some time right after I got my LG plasma but it didn't make much difference.
I know plasma is 'old tech' but the reason I got it was because a lot of home theatre enthusiasts still say that plasma picture quality is unmatched. I have to say it is brilliant but I kinda wish I had known more about these issues at the time.
I've had the dimming issue and I've found that if at any time I pause the movie either with the controller or through kinect then dimming would start after restarting and I would have to periodically wiggle the controller. If I do not pause at anytime during playback then I can watch the movie without dimming.
