Hi.
I want to turn my monitor off at night to save power, prolong the life of the backlight, and to darken the room. The built-in power button has began to wear out. It seems to "stick" in the monitor's frame. This isn't so bad, except for when I can't get it to turn on. Using the power saving function (windows xp) seems to work some of the time. Actually it's been working less and less lately. Not sure if it's my mouse, or something updating on screen. That's a whole separate issue.
What I want is to get a power cord with a physical switch in line. Is this something I'm going to have to do myself, or do they make such a thing? I really don't want to have to cut my monitor cord to install a switch from a hardware store if I don't have to.
Thank you.
