When I initially got my 50in display, I found that I had to leave it on
all the time to avoid the system freaking out, but that hasn't been the
case for over a year. I now setthe GPU to shut off the display which
doesn't actually shut off the display, but I have the TV set to shut off
after a certain amount of time with no input.
I do have to turn it on my hand whenever I want to use the computer, but
it's quick to power up and really hasn't been a big deal ever since they
fixed the issues with the system freaking out because of a lack of displays.
There is also the possibility to use a USB to CEC adapter to shut down
and wake up your TV.

I picked one of them up and got it to turn on and off the TV from a
script, but I haven't been able to locate how to hook it into the power
management properly to get things automated.
