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?


If you are really interested in this for many devices, an energy meter
can be purchased from the likes of CPC for about £10 or so. Than you can
check every device in the house!


But they are not very accurate at low power draws.
