Windows 10: Screen saver and LCD TV.

I'm running Windows 10 Home and using an 40 inch LCD TV as a monitor which is a good 8/9 years old. Do I still need to use a screensaver?

Screensaver obsolete with LCD screens.

Hi

All modern computers and TV's that have a LCD screen can't have an image burned into them like the old CRT (TV) screens. Apparently there is no point in setting a screen saver as all they do now is drain power. Will the screen saver be removed soon and if
it is pointless why do Microsoft still include it in their system. Do you think it is because users actually like them, there are many posts in this forum about screen saver issues which would all be negated if you don't need to set one. So is there any point?
