Question Will using smart plug with a computer monitor cause any damage?

[djsolidsnake86]

Using a wifi smart plug on a pc monitor, i was wondering if this will damage the monitor at all since turning it off is basically like unplugging the monitor while it's still turned on , it can damage the display electronics?

Really depends on the quality of your smart plug

Why would you need a smart plug for your monitor?

Generally speaking if something is UL listed, it should be ok.

Does your monitor even turn on when power is restored without you physically turning the monitor on manually?

i would only do it depending on if your monitor is on a power brick and not internal psu.
Meaning it has DC brick adapter, and not just a simple plug.

This way if you do short your adapter, you can just buy a replacement.
