Turning off the monitor every night can save lots of power, and will reduce the amount of decay of the phosphors on the CRT.
true, but physically shutting off the monitor every night is harmful to monitor components. people should use the software 'standby' modes and things like that for the monitor.

if i remember correctly from my A+ books, monitors will lose half of their brightness in their lifetime.

your damned if you do and damned if you don't, i guess.
