i just had to buy a new monitor becauste the older one just gone black, my question is if i must turn it off before turning off the voltage regulator or it doesn't mind if i leave it on and turn it off while turning off the regulator what gives my crt monitor a better care?

If you are shutting it down just pressing the power button it can cause a few problems. I am sort of guessing here but it doesn't give it time to properly shut down. All the programs have to just shut off in the middle of what is being done and they aren't given time to stop everything and turn off properly. This can mess up these programs and other applications running. It could hurt your computer in the long run because some of these programs could get messed up I think because they will get lost or lose something. Shutting down the normal way I believe is better because it will give all programs a second to stop what it's doing and stop without any problems

If by regulator you mean the power supply, you should always turn off the monitor before disconnecting or turning off power.

Hi. If the monitor is on but black then your phosphors will not wear out and the tube will be thermally stable. But it still uses power. Shut if off when you no longer expect to use it for the day. My opinion.

Turn off monitor, then regulator if it's on a surge protector, sort of like turning your car on, the accessories turn on first, then you crank it up.. Hope that helps

CRT monitors: turn them off before unplugging them.
