Its always on while plugged in unless some software has turned the backlight off.

The next version of CrystalControl will turn off the backlight on exit.

The regular 634 didn't do this.

any 634, unless it is not equipped with a backlight at all, will have the backlight on unless it gets the command to turn it off. as for whether or not LCDriver supports this functionality, check around the LCDriver website, maybe it's answered there, or maybe e-mail the author.

Is it okay for the screen to be on all the time? Is the backlight going to burn out or anything?

I think the Display has Led lights to light the display so I don't think it's a worry.
