Basically my monitor has a problem that i have to stay like from a range of 1 min to 2 hours turning it off and on till it works (19 inch widescreen) but thats not the point... thing is if i leave my computer hybernated the monitor seems to work, question is how much electricity would it waste to leave on all night hybernating? I mean if its not much then its worth it if not then i might aswell turn my monitor on and off each morning till it works =(

A hibernating computer will pull the same power as if you turn it off.
Most LCDs do not truly turn off with the front power switch. I suspect that leaving the LCD on, and letting it go into power management will pull the same power as if you turned it off via the front switch.
Power dissipation would be <3 watts, quite possibly <1 watt.

Hibernating a computer is just like shutting down a computer, except next time you open it, it loads will all the setting the computer was closed with.
If your monitors power plug is joined to the CPU's powersupply, it will effectively turn it off as well.
