Turn the monitor off when not using. Well, the whole idea is that it usually happens automatically, except on a virtual console.
And, someone has to be sitting at that monitor 24/7? No - in my case, that monitor is sat in 19" rack, with a keyboard on a pull-out drawer. On those occasions when you need it, you will be back and forth to the machine(s) it is connected to, and you will likely forget to return to switch it off when you're done. or you're interrupted etc etc. In Master Control at the TV station we have several monitors. Only one stays on all the time. All the rest are on during the day but when closing for the night we turn them off. Production also has several monitors. All the monitors are turned off at night. Not so difficult.
Much the same in an office, people don't switch monitors on and off all the time, just because they're having a coffee or a meeting or whatever.
Is that so unusual ?
Why would you turn them off when going to the canteen for a coffee. Aren't you coming back in a reasonable amount of time. I don't turn my monitor off unless it is going to be unattended for an extended period of time. Like going to bed at night. Or, in the case of the TV station, we are going away for a week/month/ whatever. Burn in won't happen in an hour or two. It takes an extended period of time. -- Women and cats will do just as they please. Men and dogs should just get used to the idea.
