My response, as an HP customer, may sound hardnosed.
We have an HP service contract, so we turn them off when they won't be used
frequently.  They seem to hold up well, and if they don't, HP fixes them.
It is a worry free arrangement. (And environmentally conscionable (?):)

(and they do make a horrific noise when they degauss, sounds like a huge 
power surge)

My two cents,
