Hmmm....

15" TFT... 50W
Old PC.... 65W = 0.115kW @ 10hrs / day @ 12p = £50.37

15" CRT... 65W
Old PC... 65W = 0.130kW @ 10hrs / day @ 12p = £56.94

Thinkpad X60 T1300 = 0.012W @ 10hrs / day @ 12p = £5.26

Of course if the machine is only used 2hrs a day the comparison
becomes void - just something to consider with cheap machines and
cheap CRT (particularly larger CRT which can get quite power hungry).


What are you talking about?

Power usage 90W


My laptop charger kicks out 120W max.
