That's about half my 28" 4:3 set - which has a picture of about 1/4 of the area. Basically, you're talking ****e. No thats you. Modern LCD's actually now seem to consume more power than the CRT's they replace, and I thought it would be the othe way around. (obviusly I am makinig assumtions you old was CRT and new LCD) However I think that now LCD's are a lot brighter than they used to be and hence consume more power. If you go to the Phillips site you will see a LCD uses more energy than a CRT now. It has a 42" LCD using 240 watts, I expect yours is older and has less contrast and brightness. I guess if you want a bright sharp picture it will use a lot of energy whatever the technology. I bet my 19" LCD monitor uses more energy then the 14" CRT it replaced, and I thought I would be saving on electricity!! Mind you I googled it and it uses 40 watts so if that is correct I might be wrong. (a first!!). Going by V x I (no wattage figure given) my old monitor may have used 150 watts but I think modern ones would do better -- *That's it! I'm calling grandma!
