i just bought a acer lcd monitor.But i want to know the hours lifespan of the acer lcd monitor.and will the monitor last longer if i leave it on and let it automatically turn off or if i turn it off manually
It will last longer if it is set up to turn off or go into power save mode after the computer has been idle for a while as opposed to being on 24/7. Most LCD panels have a MTBF of well over 10 years of continuous use. The part that goes bad over time is the backlighting, which dims over time and can be down to 1/2 brightness after 30-50,000 hours on newer monitors. This means that at 8 hours per day of usage it will be noticeably dimmer in 10 years, however you can compensate by increasing the brightness setting when this eventually happens. My LCDs from 2003 are running just fine after 5 years of 12 hours+ per day and I bet they can take another 5.
