Re: [PLUG] monitor energy use

The cost -- even at full on -- is minimal. The question I have is what is
better for wear and tear on the monitor itself?

If it's an energystar rated monitor, or other electric device, you can
find the details on it at http://www.energystar.gov
Even pushing the button on the monitor -- it might still be in 'standby'
thus using a little bit of juice -- the only real way to know it isnt.. is
an old fashioned style toggle switch that definitely cuts the circuit (like
on a power strip or power center) or of course, unplugging it.
