Back in the days of big glass CRTs the best energy policy, for the best

power to bring the image to full quality and letting it power down just
repeated this process. The rule was to turn your monitor on in the
morning and leave it on until you were ready to shut it down for the day.
What is the rule with LCDs flat panels. Is it better to let them run all
day, power down and start up through out the day... what is the best
policy?
