Monitors rating on 'wear and tear' is hours operating, so this does reduce it. More importantly is that it saves power. I think 2 hours though is way too conservative. A more agressive setting of 15 minutes will produce far better power savings. A typical 17" CRT monitor uses about 120 W of power! LCDs use about 45 W. You can set the monitor to turn off independently of the hibernation feature. Remember: Hibernation turns the system *completely* off, putting your RAM session safely onto the hard drive. Standby puts the system into a low-power state. (but a power interruption will cause you to loose the contents of RAM)
