Much the same in an office, people don't switch monitors on and off all

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.

Saves electricity and wear.

You know, the monitors would have a sticker boasting "Green Energy" or something like that :-p

«Energy Star (trademarked ENERGY STAR) is a program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that promotes energy efficiency.^[4] The program provides information on the energy consumption of products and devices using different standardized methods. The Energy Star label^[5] is found on more than 75 different certified product categories, homes, commercial buildings, and industrial plants. In the United States, the Energy Star label is also shown on the Energy Guide appliance label of qualifying products.

Elements of the Energy Star Program are being implemented in Japan, Taiwan, and Switzerland - as well as Energy Star Canada.^[6] In 2018, a 15-year long agreement with the European Union^[7] expired. A previous agreement with the European Free Trade Association^[6] has also expired.»
