Instant-on feature generally only consumes about 5-7 watts of power, and most TV's that use that feature also has what's called a `switched mode power supply'. I'm of the opinion that it's better to let the power supply run continually rather than completely remove power and switching the power on and off. From what I've experienced, it seems to be harder on the electronics, especially as the power supply ages. It's one thing to completely remove power for several days at a time say for instance, if you're going away on vacation, but switching the power daily or several times a day could be causing more stress in the long run. And of course, if it fails, any savings you may have had will be quickly eaten up as part of the repair bill.
