Much too true. The one I used to have wasn't any cooler when powered off even. It still created enough heat that the cat preferred sleeping on it to a sunbeam. Best bet, if not in use, pull the plug.
Even better, get a power strip and put the TV on it too. If its a CRT, thats another huge saving, since many of them use standby power to keep the tube read to turn on faster.
