LCDs are great for desktop computing, but they don’t work well at airports.

Windows 10’s screensavers are not as good as they used to be. They are no longer as varied or interesting as they used to be. This may be because Windows 10 is becoming more like a one-size-fits-all operating system, and less like the variety of different operating systems that users have been used to in the past.

In Windows 7, the built-in slideshow screensaver had a wealth of options. You could have interesting transitions, have images appear at random spots on the screen and generally spice things up when displaying your picture collection.

In Windows 10, you can only have a centered image and no transitions at all. This makes it difficult to showcase your own collection of images, as you can’t use any of the Windows 10 Live Wallpapers that are available.

We found a screensaver that brings back the old charm of your computer screensavers.

gPhotoShow (Free and Pro

Version 10.90 Euro)

GPhotoShow is a great photo management tool that is easy to use and features a lot of features. However, you can’t show multiple images on the screen at the same time.

Windows Photos screensaver only supports a centered view, which can make small images look goofy on big monitors. gPhotoShow randomly places small pictures on your monitor, which makes them look more natural and less goofy than Windows Photos screensaver. ..

The Pro version of gPhotoShow offers more features than the free edition, but the average user should only need the basics.

Some Pro features that might be worth the asking price include pan & zoom animation, TIFF support, panoramic photo support, video clip support and the ability to remember the last image in the sequence between plays.

The “scrapbook mode” on the Pro version of the iPhone is more worthwhile than the next screensaver option, which is free.

Endless Slideshow (Free and

Pro Version $19.95)

Endless Slideshow is a photo-sharing app that allows users to automatically download pictures within several sets of predefined themes. The upside of this is that users can be surprised with pictures they’ve never seen before. It’s also great for people who don’t enjoy curating their own photo collections. ..

If you’re looking for a slideshow app that can do everything you need, Endless Slideshow is the perfect choice. Multiple pictures per screen, custom background, plenty of sizing options and clearly labeled functions make it easy to use. Plus, the app is free to download and use.

The main benefit of the program is that it includes images automatically downloaded by the computer. However, this feature may have some risks if not used carefully. For example, some pictures might be inappropriate and could be downloaded without your knowledge.

Endless Slideshow is a great slideshow screensaver, but there are some limitations in the free version. Having fewer transitions and limiting the number of on-screen images to four per screen isn’t a huge deal, but being able to manually advance slideshows is a feature that should always be there. ..

The free version of Endless Slideshow doesn’t let you do that. That might be a dealbreaker for some, since the default Photos screensaver does allow for this. Still, Endless is better overall and you can create some really interesting custom looks with it.

The free version of the Pro software offers a manual picture browsing function, as well as more features. A single Pro licence allows for installation on two computers, making it a great value. The slideshow screensaver is also free and can be helpful for anyone. ..

ScreenPaver ($14.95)

ScreenPaver is a paid software that does not have a free version. There is a 30-day trial, with no feature limitations other than an annoying reminder of how many days you have left. ..

The Windows 10 screensaver included does nothing but randomlyize images.

ScreenPaver has a robust system to choose which directories you draw your pics from. You can pull them from multiple drives, select subfolders and even mark certain pictures within a folder as a favorite. It doesn’t have as many transitions as some slideshow screensavers, but it’s doubtful that many people would be concerned by only having a few dozen transition effects rather than hundreds of them.

The $15 worth of gear you get with the free options is a good buy, especially if you don’t quite understand what you want.
