Question

Can a computer monitor burn out?

Answer 1

Most LED computer monitors don't really burn out when they go bad.

However as the LED computer monitor gets used and wears out the LED monitor can begin getting dimmer and dimmer which is a sign that the monitor is about to go out.

Or you could get green lines along the top either vertical or horizontally which is another indicator that the LED monitor is going bad.

However sometimes you may get a green line when the VGA cable is not in the connector tight enough.

A good high quality computer monitor that has the best picture can cost from $150.00 to $300.00 and up.

Most good cheaper computer monitors produce a good picture and I have a cheap onn computer monitor that I bought at Walmart for less than $100.00 and for me it has a great picture to it.

I also have an old CRT monitor that has a good and even better picture quality to it when I want to view pictures.

But the pictures still look good on my onn led computer monitor.

If you're into gaming then it would be good to get a good gaming computer monitor and spend the extra money or if you do professional photo editing then having a good quality LED monitor that costs more than a few hundred dollars can be worth it.

The average lifespan of an LED or LCD computer monitor is between 3 to 10 years but some may last longer.

CRT monitors can last even longer and I've still got an old CRT computer monitor I use to view pictures on that is 20 years old and that CRT computer monitor is still working just fine.

LED computer monitors have a lifespan that is between 3 years to 10 years depending on how often they are used.

If you get 5 to 10 years out of a computer monitor then you're doing good.

10 years is a long time and I'd likely be ready to replace the computer monitor by then anyway.

A computer monitor lasts between 3 years to 10 years depending on how much use the computer monitor gets.

The more the computer monitor is on the shorter the lifespan it will have.

I usually get 5 years to 10 years out of most of my computer monitors and actually I still have a LCD computer monitor from 2005 that I use on a second computer and it works great still.

So that HP LCD computer monitor is almost 16 years old and still going strong.

Last year I bought an onn brand computer monitor from Walmart in the store on sale for $85.00 and it's been working great for me so far.

If I get a few more years of use out of it I will be happy but I expect it to last at least 5 to 8 years before it does go bad.

If it does it's cheap to get another one.

I'm using the onn computer monitor right now and it's a very good computer monitor for the price.

You can also buy higher cost computer monitors that may last longer and give a better picture especially for gaming.

However I just work from home, browse the internet and the cheap computer monitors are good for me.

Answer 2

You should turn off your monitor if you're not using it for longer than a few hours.

If using the monitor through the day then leave the monitor on until you go to sleep.

It is OK to leave your computer monitor on all the time.

If you're using your computer throughout the day then simply leave the computer monitor on as they use very little energy and it's actually worse to turn the monitor on and off as it wears the button out.

LED monitors last a long time regardless so leaving the monitor on is a good idea.

If going to bed then you should shut if off but it's not gonna harm the monitor to leave it on 24/7 but it will just wear the monitor out sooner.

If you're using a desktop computer and are using it throughout the day then it's best to put it to sleep or leave it on.

Or if you're going to bed you can simply leave the computer on and just turn the monitor off.

Although putting the computer to sleep mode uses less energy than just leaving the computer on.

It's actually more energy efficient to turn your computer off if not using it within a few hours.

However it's actually better for the computer if it's a desktop computer to leave the desktop computer on 24/7 or at least leave it on until you go to bed.

My 2 desktop computers never get shut off and I leave the monitors on all day because turning them off and on wears the monitor out faster than just leaving it on.

However when I go to bed I turn the monitors off but the computers stay on.

Leaving your computer on all the time does not damage it.

People leave computers on all the time and they are meant to stay on as the constant shutting them off and turning them back on is actually more damaging to the computer than just leaving the computer on constantly.

It is OK to leave your computer on 24 7 or all the time.

I leave 2 of my desktop computers on all the time and never shut them off.

The only time they get shut off is if the power goes out or I need to restart them.

I've left my desktop computers on 24/7 for 6 months straight before and nothing bad has happened to them.

Computers such as desktop computers are meant to operate 24 hours per day and 7 days per week.

Actually shutting the computer off and turning it back on constantly can shorten the life of the computer.

Desktop computers are best kept on and not shut off constantly.

Web servers are an example of a type of computer that are on constantly.

Those web servers run constantly so that we can access the internet and websites such as this website on.

The web servers only get shut down when needed otherwise they are on all the time.

If it's a laptop then you may want to shut it down as they can overheat more easily but desktops are cooled more easily.
