Hello forum, I am a relatively new LCD monitor owner. I recently purchased the Samsung 204bw to upgrade my old 19in CRT. I usually kept my CRT montior on and rarely turned it off. I just had it run on screen saver and somtimes have it turn itself off in like 20 mins. Is it good for LCD monitors to be kept on for extended periods of time or should I turn it off every night before I goto sleep? I'm not sure how LCD's function and I don't want to kill pixels quickly by burning them out if thats even possible? Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
 
Just go to the power options in Windows and have the monitor go on standby after 15-20 minutes and it'll be fine. In my way of thinking that is better for a monitor in the long run than going from a complete powered down to powered on state constantly.
