Your monitor shouldn't draw 130W at idle. My 34" monitor is ~3W in sleep mode, 34W when on. Even my eight year old 55" TV only draws 90W when on.

- wtallis 7y agoOlder high-end monitors with CCFL backlights could easily draw 130W. Dell's 30-inch model from 2008 was rated for typical draw of 163W and a max of 250W (when also powering speakers and USB devices).
- loeg 7y agoIndeed, this is a HP 30" from 2010.

- ComputerGuru 7y agoRight, but doesn’t it suspend when you’re away? DPMS should be at least an order of magnitude less, if not two.
- loeg 7y agoNope. I turn it off when I'll be away for a long time. But not if I'm just grabbing food or doing some housework or whatever.
