Can this be turned off? Wouldn't it be battery drainer?

It can be turned off. I kept it off on my S7 Edge.

Most say it uses a very small amount. I just didn't like the idea of my screen being on a lot. I don't need to see it at all times.
On the s7 edge, it didn't use much. Probably 0.5% an hour
Has anyone played with or heard about the screen always on, obvious question is battery consumption, which I'm sure most don't know answer to.
My main concern is burn in the screen. Did Samsung add anti burn in to this feature by having it move slightly every minute? If not, I would be concerned with screen burn in.
Thanks for any input
I would agree that lighting the whole phone up every time you get a notification would use more power then 15 minutes worth. I'll try it out, just worried about the screen burn in, it needs to move even if you don't notice it. I use my note 5 as an alarm clock with the time displayed all night, it moves around slightly and no burn in.I also saw several battery tests, and it did not have a measurable effect on battery life. I want to say that one of them came to the conclusion that it costs about 15 minutes of battery life over the course of an entire day. However, they felt that would easily be mitigated by the amount of battery you would save by not turning on the full screen just to look at the clock.
Remember, only the lit up pixels draw power, and there are not that many on, vs when the entire screen fires up.
Did anyone catch in the announcement that you can now have pictures "always on" I have not seen much mention of it, but I saw a video that had star constellations as a "wallpaper" for the always on display.

Is there anymore options on there apart from battery and texts/calls
