Q&A: Is it ok if I turn my secondary monitor off at night?
Question from Leanna: I have an HP laptop with an external 27 inch monitor attached as a secondary screen.
I like to keep my laptop running 24/7 (I know, I’m weird) but I turn the external monitor off at night to save electricity.
My question is, will turning that monitor off while the laptop is running cause any problems?
Rick’s answer: This is probably going to be my shortest Q&A answer ever, Leanna…
No, it won’t.
Enjoy your day!
