These LCDs have a feature to turn OFF after some time if they do not sense any signal getting into the TV, that is why when you use it as a PC monitor and leave ON; it will turn OFF by itself.
The short term solution to make the LCD power up properly when using it as a PC monitor would be to unplug it when it turns OFF by itself and plug it back in.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
The LCD's power supply overheats and make the whole circuity shutdown, that is when you are not able to do anything until you unplug it and leave it OFF for a while. A few capacitors in the power supply are most likely giving up on it due to the heat around them. If you open the power supply, visually inspect the capacitors for leaky or bulging conditions and replace as needed.
Most service techs will charge you to give you an estimate. The estimate is about $30.00 just to tell you what is wrong with your TV. From that point on is your decision if you want to get it repaired.
If the repair cost is about 1/3 of what you paid for the TV still worth it to get it fix. I have a couple of these LCDs and they have a great picture.

WHEN I HAVE THE TV SET WITH THE DIRECT TV BOX I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH TURNING IT ON OR OFF I LEFT IT ON ALL NIGHT AND NO PROBLEMS
WHEN THE RED LETTER INSIGNIA ARE LIT AND I POWER ON THE TV THE LIGHT GOES OFF AND SOMETIMES IT SAY PLEASE WAIT AND GOES RIGHT TO THE INPUT THAT I WANT BUT WITH THE COMPUTER CONNECTED AND THE RED LIGHT IS ON AND I PRESS THE POWER BUTTON ON THE REMOTE THE RED LIGHT GOES OUT AND NOTHING HAPPENS
even when i am use the tv as a monitor and going on line it will still shut off in the middle of whatever i am lookin at like ebay is this normal????
and why do i have a hard time trying to get it working again ???
And the remote i have a phillips will not let me go into setup do i need the factory remote for that???
still need a answer to the question this tv sometimes shuts off even when you are watching regular tv and i have to unplug it to turn it back on ????
and i can not get to setup on the screen is that because i do not have the factory remote????
i have a phillips remote when it goes to MENU and i try to go to setup it will not go there it goes to the next one down DO I NEED A FACTORY REMOTE????
I AM NOT A TV REPAIRMAN SO I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CORRECT THAT ISSUE
QUESTION SHOULD I TAKE IT TO A SHOP AND WHAT COST DO YOU THINK IT SHOULD COST TO REPAIR???
THIS SET WAS NEW IN 2006 IS IT WORTH REPAIRING ????
THE PICTURE IS SUPER ON IT AND DO YOU THINK THAT WILL SOLVE THE COMPUTER ISSUE IAM HAVING WITH IT???
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME ON THIS MATTER
