On or Off when not in use?

Hello,

I have a full size arcade using a D9200 27" monitor.  The question is, should I leave this thing on all the time or should I shut it down every night?  I am trying to prolong the life of the monitor, and I don't care about power usage.   Not sure if its worse on the monitor to be turned on/off constantly or worse to always be left on.  Thanks in advance!

I would think that if you leave it on constantly, you would get some pretty nasty screenburn after a while

electricd:

nah, it is running a screensaver when Im not using it.

My question is how often do you use it? I stick to the rule that if I am goiog to use my system within 24 hours I leave everything on. If not I will shut it down.  Most monitors do have an energy saver mode that puts it to sleep after a while. Check your menu on your monitor.

Does the D9200 support suspend or sleep mode?
