A neighbour has a new-this-year UK-assembled generic Windows 7 PC, and a decade-old flat-screen non-CRT Philips monitor from Denmark.

Nocturnally, these are turned off by closing Windows and by pressing the little button on the lower front of the monitor.

What power, in watts, is each of these two devices each likely to be drawing during the night?

Even a 5 year old Philips allegedly draws less than half a watt on standby.

I'd expect it to be similar on a PC PSU.
