Seems like an issue with the TV and how it handles the input from your computer at some step. Are you using VGA or DVI as a connection? (Cable with blue ends or white ends)
As far as turning your computer on and off, these days it doesn't matter. The only legitimate reason to turn your computer off when you're not using it is A) to save on electricity, and/or B) to provide less of a likelihood that a power surge will mess something up if you don't have a surge protector, in which case you'd also be unplugging the computer as well.
The act of turning it on and off on a daily basis has no negative effect. In fact, if we want to look at it objectively, over time, there is more wear on a computer the longer it is on, obviously, because the fans will be constantly running, and all the parts are still operating, even at a baseline load of just being ready to respond to any input.
