Your typical 19 inch CRT monitor draws about 500 watts. They draw close to 1000 watts at startup (mostly due to filiment startup current and the degausing coil). Your newer lcd displays draw less than 150 watts so there is a huge savings energy wise. BTW your typical television draws about the same current as the same size crt monitor. Function wise they are nearly identical so you would expect the currents to be about the same too. Bill
