Did Turning Off Vampires Ruin TV?

red50
14 years ago

Does turning off all the power to the TV & computers damage them in any way? For about a year now, I have been turning off all the electronics in the house, thinking to save power. So, am I being penny wise, but pound foolish?

The picture on my 13 year old Toshiba model #CF27E50 has been going from dim to totally dark for a couple of months, finally last weekend, it stayed dark. Is this a problem that is easy to fix? Or worth the cost?

Thanks in advance, Joyce
