I have a question regarding terminals. I have noticed that most
terminals are always left on around the clock. I want to
know if this is in fact better for the terminals, instead of
turning them on and off every time they are used. By better,
I mean for them to last longer.

The terminals I am talking about all have automatic blank
out feature. So leaving them on would not leave burn on the
screen.

Please advise.

Thomas
