A monitor uses approximately 100-150W of power. An idle computer with a couple of drives running, uses 40-60W. A 28" TV uses 100-150W or so, so I doubt your values. My values come from a power meter I have that I can plug between the outlet and any device, it gives current load and also meters the number of kW since it last was reset. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@xxxxxxxxx
