Can u take 10 seconds away from your busy schedule?

And that is a good tip for saving energy. Most of the people are aware and are not following the tips. Thank you and good work.

Wow that is very interesting.
Really we have always done that for selfish reasons in our house because when we had windows 95,it would get stuck trying to defrgament if we left it on screensaver.
it was a second hand computer and monitor and the old company logo (ex rental PC) was burned into the monitor.
Im glad it has been being power saving aswell. I never even thought about how much it saved by not being on.

wow! this is an informational and a good tip too..honestly bomb, i didn't know how much energy i was actually wasting until i read this! i've been doing that, living my monitor for so long while i go out..now that i know i will start from turning it off..

thank you for such information..

Good tip there. We should all know this but it doesn't hurt to be reminded every so often.

This isn't always the case actually. If the monitor is Energy Star then it doesn't use it when left on. Mine will turn off on it's own after a few minutes of nonuse so it saves energy this way.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

you have initiated a very good discussion.Energy is the most talked word globally.The cost of energy going northward and putting extra burden on consumers.so we should think how to save electricity.Yes putting a monitor off takes only 10 seconds and through this action we save valuable energy.yes you have rightly stated the phrase about energy production and saving.

Thanks for the reminder. I used to do this with my old computer (a dinosaur) but I leave the current one on if I´m not working on it and I´m just doing other things but I´m still nearby. It switches itself off on it´s own after a few minutes, same thing that someone else mentioned here before. Mind you, it wouldn´t even occur to me to leave it on overnight or when I go out. That would be like leaving the stereo or television on all the time and as far as I know, nobody does this.

A few years ago i had my computer run 24 hrs a day and now that i think of it with the monitor on ...i have being closing it in recent years when not in use but there are still times its on for a few hours with the monitor on I am going to remember this and try to get into the habit of turning the monitor off when i am away from the PC Heaven help us the hydro bill has skyrocked in recent years in Canada Nice tip and i am in

Computer monitors DO take up alot of power. Mine are very bright and I have to turn them down so they are dimmer before using them every day (we have dual monitors in my office so I am always looking at two screens). It's amazing how much energy can be saved!

Thanks for that idea. Besides saving energy for the sake of energy, it will save energy from my bill that I pay every month. Not only that, it will reduce the heat output and save energy for cooling my home, or make my home more comfortable if I do not choose to cool it. My only question is, will this be hard on the monitor and cause it problems? Will it wear out the switch?
