Managing minutiae are we?
As a rule "LED" flat screens use less energy than "LCD" flat screens. Both use LCD panels; LED refers to the panel's backlight source, where ordinary LCD displays have fluorescent bulbs.

Marketing is trying to capitalize on the Energy efficiency. Thanks everybody for the input.

For that matter, 290 mA is tiny. Stefan Jafs, how long you looking to run this thing for? You could prolly run it for a week on a car battery. ;-) (Note that car batteries are actually poor performers for this kind of thing, but you get the idea.) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
