Always turn mine off at work and home (PC and laptop). Don't like to think of it burning away all the time when I don't need it.

TBH, TFT screens don't get affected like the old CRT used to. The image would burn on the screen if left, but TFTs don't do that so not much need to bother with screensavers and the like.

is there any need for you to keep it on 24/7? or can you just not be bothered turning it off? seems like a waste of money in electric bills having it on if it isn't needed all the time

edit: also if you're downloading 24/7 and the computer is doing something fair enough, if its just sat there doing sweet FA its a waste imo
