Looking for a bit of advice here guys. Is it better to leave a LCD TV in standby all the time as opposed to switching off at night and on the next day again?

I have a Philips 42" LCD which is 2009 vintage. The specs. say that 'typical' power consumption is 146W and standby consumption is 0.15W i.e. 1/1,000 of the operating consumption so apart from the infra-red receiver which picks up signals from the remote, there's not much going on inside. I'd say leave it in standby.

Ye exactly , the main part to worry will be the screen, the more its on the less life it'll have,

Leaving it on stand by won't affect that
