Probably not as much as you used to, but I'd check your manual your monitor came with and see if it recommend one. Also consider how much money you spent on your CRT and if you don't mind replacing it if it gets burn-in. I spent a considerable amount on mine and the manual did specifically recommend one. There's also the environment. It uses less power to turn your monitor off if you don't need to look at it. _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
