I sleep while watching movies on my LCD TV , which is 10ft far from me . So while sleeping I just switch off monitor by Remote . I do it every night , some ppl told me not to do this.It will affect Lcd power ic or sumthing like that.so should I switch off my lcd by main switch or remote off is fine ?

Almost everyone just switches it off and puts it on stand by. Do remember that devices can consume upto 10% of their peak consumption in stand by mode also.

So if you want to save on your bills then you can pull the plug (switch the outlet off).


BTW: In many countries there are no switches for power outlets. So 80% of the world put them on stand by

I think it would rather be otherwise. Standby mode is better.It will decrease the components expansion on account of heating and cooling from TV.
Like the harddrive.Running PC 24/7 makes it last longer.
Is it significant ?
No! Rather a Resounding No.

The Difference is too negligible to bother.

About the speaker thing.
Go Ahead,even if the speakers are no magnetically shielded it wouldn't affect as plasma/lcd remain unaffected.

well its recommended always to switch off devices from main switch
1.to save electricity bills
2.to save earth & save power


but its OK for LCD to be on standby

Be Kind to earth, Save power, Save earth.

Standby LCD also consumes power.

^^ Therapeutically that sounds good, but practically almost all of us have same issue, who cares?
P.S. excuse the expression in this post.

I switch off my LCD monitor by the off button below the monitor.
Will it still consume power? :|

Less than a Watt per how many hours?
Its important now to be considerate about power usage, since Tariff rates for Electricity have just been revised! :(

1W means it takes up 1Whr energy every hour.
