If you’ve been coveting an LCD computer screen, here’s a good reason to get one. They burn at least half the wattage of a CRT monitor. Yep. Someone out there measured the wattage and then posted on a blog about it, here.. You can also change your desktop background color to something that uses less wattage by looking at the following chart.
This is also true of old fashion TV sets, which operate on CRT technology. I have been coveting a flat LCD screen, but stubbornly have held onto my circa 1987 TV set. Maybe I will upgrade in the name of electricity savings.
