I've heard arguments on both sides of this. And I don't know enough about electronics to decide. Are warm up / cool down cycles, (turning them on and off several times a day), harder on them? Or total hours run. (Turning them on and leaving them on throughout the day)?
Sometimes I get up early, and like to watch a few programs in the morning when I have my coffee. Then I shower and start my day. And I may not come back to watch again until late morning or early afternoon. Sometimes even later. It just depends.
Am I better off turning the set on and off as I watch it, or just leaving it on? I'm not that concerned about saving energy, as I am getting the most mileage out of my new set. My older Samsung gave up a few weeks ago, so I went out bought the latest and greatest model to replace it. And I was just wondering what would give it the longest life?
