TV out on - Power usage and wear

Just a simple question. I have an Ti-4200 card (Asus V8420).

I use the TV-out in clone mode to view pictures and video on TV.

But does this use more power and generate more heat than when I
disable "clone" mode and use "Standard" (only PC monitor)?

The question really is: Should I leave "clone" on always, or should I
switch to "Standard" when I don't use the TV to save the card?

I can't imagine there would be a significant difference..
