Default Display timeout on external power
Does anyone know if it's possible to set the display not to timeout when connected to external power? I have mine set to 1 minute so it doesn't drain my battery, but it would be nice if I could get it to stay on when plugged in.

It might be possible when you buy a home dock for Captivate.

On the other hand, when your Captivate is connected to external power ( I guess : just power cable USB), than you can install from the Market app namede NO LCD which helps a bit.

There are a number of profile apps that allow this using rules. I am currently using "toggle settings lite"

I'd be worried about screen burn in ... Just got my Captivate yesterday, I had read about the burn in. is it not really a problem?
