Re: OT: Lifetime of TV screens
I have two extension boards: one powers devices that have to be on 24/7 such as
aerial amplifier, HDD recorder. The other powers the TV, DVD player, fresat
tuner. The latter remains on from first switch-on (wife watching one-* disaster
films while ironing!!) to when I retire.
I've long recognised what Terry says about leaving electronic devices on
because switching off/on can stress them - I have all my computers on 24/7, and
4 of them are running Boinc.
The situation is a bit different when power cycling into standby as the power
consumption is very low, so thermal cycling effects are typically orders of
magnitude less than in going from standby to fully on.

Tim
