Risks associated with only using power strip on/off switch for older 1084 monitor?

[Slapshot]

So I was told that pushing in and using the power button on any amiga monitor itself, eventually leads to it the button breaking or failing with time and so the best way is to only use the switch on the power strip close to the socket where the plug inserted whenever I turn it on and off.

Is there a chance it is impossible for some early or more robust monitors' on/off buttons to break or cause problems with time. I have a very old robust early 1084 monitor from late 1987 but it hasn't been used much prior to 1 year ago and is in top shape. I can send pictures if needed. I think I have some:

I don't mind ONLY using the power switch but I can imagine maybe it would be a bit tiring to move around each time I turn it off, esp when this needs to be done excessively. No I havent found a power strip box that is more practical or easier and could sit on a desk,they are are to find these days. but mine is surge protected and decent.

What do you guys think? I haven't done this with other older monitors, i don't recall having issues. Is it mandatory to do it? I am overseas at the moment for some time (in europe), I had moved all my ntsc Amiga stuff from the US, using a transformer adapter and bought a new batch of ntsc amiga 500 hardware that was in very good shape almost a year ago.

Here are the transformers and setup around it. Does having this setup (wires, transfomer pictured etc) and/or using this particular model also potentially create any problems when ONLY using the powerstrip switch when wanting to turn the monitor on and off with time and is there a chance using the button in the monitor is safe or not?

Also, does leaving the monitor on while the amiga is off for too long create any burn ins or other issues? Just a bit longer, not crazy long, just to avoid going all the way to the power strip to turn it off everytime.

I love this stuff. Have used them with a few of my switch-less microcomputers with no problems.

Both of my 1084's got a fucked up power burtton and I can't be bothered to change it. I stuck the buttons on the ON position years ago and turn them on from the switch on the power strip, never had a problem.

Get yourself a power strip with individually switchable outlets, like this one which is exactly the one I've had for a long time:


This wasn't exactly cheap but you do NOT want to be cheap with this kind of thing, unless you would like frying your monitor.
