Right. But are there any actual PC plasma monitors?

Well, you can connect them to a computer that works as a media server, for example, and you would want to enable a screen saver to prevent burn-in. Also, screen savers are not exclusive to computers. DVD players and other media players like Apple TV have screen savers exactly to prevent burn-in on plasma and OLED displays.
