re monitors should they be kept on hours a day gary sager gsager heliacal eng sun com wrote btw when encouraging employees to power off monitors when leaving work it was pointed out that this should only be done with monitors with the power switch on front there was some indication that monitors with power switches on the rear are not designed to tolerate lots of power cycling this may only apply to the monitors we use but might be worth checking if you happen to have a monitor with the switch in back i m not an expert but having spent much too much of my life looking for the power switch or the brightness control or the de gauss etc etc etc it is my firm belief that the only reason any controls switches knobs whatever in places where they are hard to reach is because the designers put them there deliberately the real question is weather this is because of stupidity or maliciousness charles herbig unable to locate coffee operator halted masc ucssun sdsu edu
