I can't seem to find any definitive answers out there in Google. I would
really like *not* having to reach over my desk to power up my monitors.

Is it OK for someone (me) to leave his (mine) Event powered monitors
switched on at the back and use my power bar to power them both on at the
same time by flicking the power bar "on" switch, or is this a bad idea?

At present I am powering them off and on using a cross-desk reaching motion
and the switches on the back of each monitor.

Thoughts?

If it pops when you turn the strip on then put the monitors on a
separate power bar and turn them on last and off first.
