    Best practices on PC monitor usage advice sought?


    Hi,
    I have a 23" LCD monitor that has its own power adapter/brick that I use with my desktop PC as a Home PC. When I shutdown the PC overnight that obviously cuts the HDMI connection to the monitor so the monitor then goes to sleep. However, when in sleep mode the monitor power brick still has a green light that remains on and the power button for the monitor glows white, blinking on and off.
    I have the monitor and PC and other devices plugged into one of those inexpensive surge protection power strips without individual switches so I just leave the monitor in sleep mode whenever its not in use (overnight etc). Otherwise it would mean unplugging the monitor all the time when not in use. According to the manual, in sleep mode the energy consumption is <0.3 Watts so that's not a problem.
    Does anybody know if Im causing unnecessary wear and tear by leaving the monitor in sleep mode instead of unplugging it? Am I shortening the life of the LCD monitor, the green light on the power adaptor or monitor power button because even though the monitor is in sleep mode those lights will still be on 24/7?
    How do other desktop users use their monitors? Other users advice , personal experiences welcome *Smile

    :)

    MONITOR--NOT CONNECTING SINCE WIN 10 INSTALLED

    I have a CVTE-TV monitor with an HDMI connection--This set-up worked fine in WIN 7

    Ever since I installed WIN 10-- although showing as installed it does not list in Device Manager-[Only computers generic PnP listed]

    Have made multiple updates, troubleshoots [all devices being stated as best and working], legacy options applied and followed various posted advices--- Without a fix

    I am sight impaired and my 19" monitor is vital to my domestic IT usage

    Advice as to suitable device, perhaps card, downloading sought--or comprehensive-- fix --to resolve this problem would be much appreciated.
