Depending on the type of Monitor, it is better to turn it off and back on
every weekend/night. The Ikegami(sp) had a poor MTBF rating for the power
supply and a not much better one for the Monitor itself. We had Ickky's
dying after about a year because we left them on with screenlock running.
Now we turn them off a night and on weekends. Screenlock is run when
user's log off and a screenblank like substitute is being written to blank
and lock idle screens after so many minutes....
