Long time ago, screensavers were actually meant to save the screen. Ya speaking literally. Save from what ? Well it happened to be a problem named screen-burn-effect – a permanent deformity on areas of a CRT monitor due to non-moving text or graphics being displayed for a long period of time. To negate this problem, screen savers were used to fill the screen with moving graphics when the computer was idle. But nowadays its sole purpose is to spice up your screen.(Also read : Display RSS Feeds as Windows Screensaver)
Some Free Clock Screensavers
1. Word Clock :

2. Fliqlo
Fliqlo is a nice flip style clock screensaver that happens to be my favorite.

It is really a nice alternative for a led clock.
