quote: This is only for CRT monitors where power consumption is higher depending on the brightness (ie: a white screen). On a LCD monitor, the backlight is continiously on and there is no difference in power consumption between a black and white pixel (a black pixel is the LCD blocking out the backlight). | |

I've not read it yet but the backlight is always on on the screen anyway, unless its uses that much more to display a white pixel than a black pixel then I doubt it. | |

When your screen is white - an empty word page, or the Google page, your computer consumes 74 watts, and when its black it consumes only 59 watts. Mark Ontkush wrote an article about the energy saving that would be achieved if Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page views, according to his calculations, 750 mega watts/hour per year would be saved. |
