Of course keeping the monitor powered on all the time when you most of the time don't use the computer when it runs (thus monitor is blanked out by Windows), the monitor will still consume power. But indeed, constantly powering it on/off isn't good for it (same thing as with anything else).
There is a difference between Windows sending a black screen signal, and an off signal to the monitor.
In the first case, the monitor consumes about as much power as it will during regular usage (whatever that is).
In the second instance, the monitor is off, in the same state as if the computer had been turned off, using close to zero power. This is recomended by manufacturers over using the front power button (on some monitors even this button won't change power consumption, cutting power altogether is the only way to zero power usage).
