You are right of course, I was not thinking when I wrote this. What I
meant to say was, don't think it will consume no power when switched
off. In some cases it can draw in excess of 10 watts then, compared
with
a typical 0.5W power draw for a CRT monitor. It will make up for this
when used more than a few minutes a day, but still.

what are you smoking dutchman seems to be stronger than pot
1/2 a watt CRT on stanby?
get real the freakin pilot light on the front uses that much


In a properly designed LED 'pilot light', you'd have far less than a
half watt.

5vdc x 20ma. = 0.1 watt

There are low power LEDs which run on much less than that.

You're right about the LED of course, the problem is that far more than the
LED remains powered up when the monitor is in standby. Personally I just
shut it off whenever I get up from the computer for more than a couple
minutes, always have. I never really understood the significance of the
standby feature but I guess a lot of people are lazy.
