Energy consumption

The power consumption of an LCD monitor is about 25% lower than that of a CRT with the same screen size. This is a significant advantage in these times of high energy prices. In addition, the amount of heat generated by an LCD monitor is significantly lower than that of a CRT, which means less strain on air conditioning. If the monitor is used with a system that supports uninterruptible power supply (UPS), the lower power consumption of an LCD monitor provides additional extra minutes in the event of a power outage.
