No it is not, not unless you are happy with a screen half the size.

My 45" 16:9 consumes 175 watts. 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.


We all know the guy's a complete fool!

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

Oh God, I beseech Thee! If I promise to stop being so cynical about
global warming, will you PLEASE stop it raining!

Bill

With all the hosepipe bans and everything, weren't folks down south
praying for rain last year?
They're never happy!

I think Bill might object to being referred to as a Southerner!

I wasn't referring to Bill specifically, I know he isn't in the South East,
but isn't it safe to say that everyone south of me is a southerner?

It has 'more contrast and brightness' than a CRT.

Then you guess wrong.

Not really interested in your bets - why not either look up the specs of
both or measure the actual current consumption? Not too difficult for one
so clever as yourself?

All the computer monitors I've seen have the power consumption clearly
marked on a plate on the back. TVs sometimes don't have, but it should be
in the instruction manual under specification.

If I had that privilege it would have been in rather stronger language.

It was just a pointer to support your posts with verifiable facts. As if.
