On or Off when not in use?

RayB:
Just turn the damn thing off.
I have had my Sony monitor since 1997 and I always turn it off when my "day is done". Yes sometimes that means it gets turned back on and back off 2-3 times a day, and I use it EVERY SINGLE DAY. It has not broken and is not showing any signs of stress from being TURNED OFF.

I have had a D9200 in my Butler 2001 since... well...  2001.  I always leave the PC and monitor On.  A screen saver runs from within Mamewah showing screen shots of whatever emulator you leave it at.  I have had no issues and for my own vain reasons I like to see the arcade game snap shots when I go by the machine.

This makes sense to me.

I think that about sums it up, or we could keep telling everyone it's a waste of power, therefore we won't help them find a solution to the problem they are wanting to solve.  OR, you could use everyone's words except your own to demonstrate how people view things, and also how we differ drastically in those views.

Meh.

Power is a renewable resource, if he's willing to pay his electric bill, all is good, I'm sure the electric company loves him for it....and also the many power company employees that won't be laid off this christmas because he likes to leave his machine running
