Long ago I was told that powering up a large bank of 32 monitors all at the same time was bad for the monitors. Is it true?
On the odd occasion when we had a power cut or someone had turned off the wrong circuit breaker, all our 32 Wells Gardner 27" CRT monitors would get powered up together. Quite often this would cause one of them to fail and my old boss would once again claim .... "You should never power them on at the same time".
He never came up with a scientific reason for this but I have always done my best to follow his advise.
My question. Is this true and is it still relevant with todays modern monitors?
