Will I hurt my monitor by turning it off at night while i leave the computer still running and then I turn it back on in the morning?

 

[j@cko]

of course not... it'll be fine.

 

[rommel]

no but with the right APM settings you can just let the system power everything down too

I've been doing that for the past 4 years... No problems here

I've dont it lots of times, won't cause any problems.

Best way..IMO...is to let it power down or sleep, this lowers the power usage to 5-50 watts depending on monitor, but the important thing it does is to keep the internal components from cooling off. This eliminates the greatest source of wear and tear, temperature induced expansion and contraction.
