When you turn the TV off with the remote, it cuts the power to the screen. The TV is still "on" as far as the TV electronics are concerned. When you pull the plug from the outlet or power strip, this shuts the the TV down completely. When you plug it back in and turn the TV on, it has to recycle through the whole software start-up sequence. When you have a bunch of things plugged into the same outlet, there can be some spikes of energy that get sent to the TV causing the CPU to freeze up and act like it's broken.
