When picking a monitor for your pc, power efficiency should be one of your priorities. Though most brands will carry tags indicating their product’s power efficiency rate, it’s better if you understand how things really work with regards to monitors and saving power.
- LCDs consume less than CRT monitors.
- The brigthness level of the monitor indicates how much power the monitor will use. The brighter it is, the more energy it will consume.
- However, do not forget that the larger the screen, the greater power it will need too.
I’m actually quite happy that Cnet has listed Top 5 energy-saving monitors over 22 inches instead of the just the Top 5 energy-saving monitors. In line with the Earth day Celebration, you might want to check out these monitors (I will too!)…
