I just turn off the computer monitor a lot and was wondering if it did any sort of damage.

It is better for a CRT monitor to just leave it on and have it go into sleep mode. The power consumption is minuscule if it is a "Green" monitor and most sold in the last 10 years are. Turning any electronic component or device on/off causes the via solders or SMT solders to expand and contract and will eventually crack. I'm an old fart that has been working in electronics professionally from 1975 through 2000 so some of the newer technology may not have this weakness.

Well if you just sit there clicking it off and on, then YES!
But if you just turn it off when you are not using it, then NO!
But why don't you just set the power options in control panel, to turn the monitor off for you?

none whatsoever
actually turning the monitor off is a good way to save power without actually using the powersaving features

Anything when overdone is bad. It may put undue pressure on the resources & consumes more power unnecessarily.

Saves energy, and is OK. I do it all the time, on my 9 monitors, on GNU/Linux, ( http://pclinuxos.com ), and Macs.
