when I just starting out with pc's about 10 years ago I was told that the monitor (CRT) had to be turned on either before or at the same time as pc startup to avoid damage. Then a couple of years later I was told that it didn't matter, and sure enough i run a server with a monitor (CRT) attached which i maybe turn on once a month to do something i couldn't do with remote desktop.
Nowadays we are a TFT family and our personal computers run with TFT's. (Viewsonic's) The instructions that come with these monitors states that the monitor must be turned on prior to turning on the PC. Can you damage a TFT monitor by having it off while the PC is running?
thanks
