Is it ok to leave a CRT monitor on 24/7

It works with a plasma t.v., haha. It happened to my uncle. Someone at Best Buy told him to use a blank white screen for a while. The image disappeared.

That doesn't necessarily apply to CRT monitors.

It's worth a shot.

Get an LCD monitor, if you intend to leave it on 24/7, it will pay for itself in the long run.

Yes, because lcd monitors use less electricity.

Yes........... how about having informed answers next time?

Power consumption for an LCD monitor is usually about 40 watts. In contrast,
the power consumption for a comparable CRT monitor may be over three times
as great. As a consequence, operating costs for LCD monitors are significantly
lower.

I set my monitor to sleep after 5min. I just have to move the mouse to get out of it anyways. Some people find it annoying but I say it saves me energy and it makes me more lazy because now I don't have to move my finger all the way to the power button on the monitor

You sound like a complete retard, offense intended.


CRTs are practically archaic now in terms of power efficiency, if you intend to leave a monitor on at all times during the day, you would be wise to get an LCD.
