Will this monitor handle being on for 24 hours a day? I'd like to use it for monitoring purposes

I'm not sure but, it might decrease it's life as with all things that run 24 hours a day.

You can set it up to do that, but I haven't. I really like using the monitor.

Not sure since I keep the mac on basically 24/7 but I just keep it on during the week and turn off during the weekend... no problems so far

Yes, but how long depends on the load. If you use this for a computer that uses 250 W (~.5 times the power rating of the computer) it should last about 6 hours. When you add the monitor (~150 W) it should last 3.5 hours. The only way you can tell how long is by measuring the power that your "appliance" is by using a power meter such as the P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor ($20 on Amazon).

I do not recommend buying it. Mine is already not working and all I was using it for was a backup monitor. If you go with it good luck!

See my review and experience. You may get a good one, or you may get a bad one that craps out (board) within the first month. I would strongly urge you to look elsewhere and spend a couple hundred more on something with 1) more support and 2) better quality. It is a nice monitor when it works though. Keyword: WHEN it works.

Sorry I not 100% sure. I have had the monitor now for 1 year. No issues and colors are excellent

I cannot answer that since I am not the one who uses the monitor. Also, it is not located in my office.

I'm using a computer monitor that's probably 3 yrs old or so. Hope this helps.

Please consider to use professional Monitor for your need. The LOCK key is for hand-free talking for a short time, not for all night monitoring. Unit will release the LOCK key about 2 to 10 hours.

Not with the apps I have been able to find for this device. The mfg did not create their own app. Maybe there is one out there that can do 24h monitoring and I just haven't found it yet.

The issue will be power, it uses two powered USB ports for power supply. The port on the monitor is a micro USB you could probably use alternate means of power. I don't have the power specs on hand to advise what would be best for alternative power.

I set mine just down, hold down c/f 24hr will display, press c/f again and 12 hr will display and you're all done

as long as you have the right software and monitor to correctly display it, yes

You can still read text, but not recommended for use as a monitor-replacement, cause your eyes will getting tired after 2, 3 hours of usage.

I guess it depends how long you need it to run in the event of a power failure. If this is your only computer and only need a very short up time before shutting down it may be over kill for you.
