Thumb Up

Eh? How do you figure that.

Power consumption when turned on will vary according to display size but not

standby consumption.

0.15 Watts is quite amazing. At that sort of rate it's not going

to be long before they can power standby by the sort of solar cells you

get on the top of pocke calculators.

I bet even then bandwaggon hippie greenies will still be telling you to turn it off

at the wall, while heating their caravans with 2000 Watt electric heaters...
