Does monitor consume a lot of electricity like TV?

[WhiteAnt]

Seems like need many electricity to lit up many pixels. Any expert knows?

Or what's the average electric bill per month/year?

Anybody ?

Interesting question.

Using Lenovo G34w-10 34 Inch WLED Ultra-Wide Curved Gaming Monitor - power consumption is between 40 to 50w.

For TV, can refer to https://www.batteryequivalents.com/...32” LED: 30 –,consumption of around 120 watts.

Using 34" monitor vs 32" TV based on paper specs, the consumption is pretty close unless the TV is OLD or older technology such as LCD. Plasma more chia lat, 160.

You can check Ng Weide in tiktok. He will do measurement and calculate costs for you

i don't mean to sound punny but it'll be better to buy a smart plug monitor to monitor the electrical consumption of your monitor and compare it with your tv.

 

[Tony.Manero]

They're exactly the same thing. So unless the panel is different technology or size, the consumption will be similar.

The main contributor to household electricity consumption is air conditioner and refrigerator, and gaming/mining desktop.

So it's about $10/mth

Thanks for the help

If the monitor size is smaller like 24" or 27", do you know how much is the monthly electric bill? What's the formula to calculate?

Here you are, the calculator

https://energyusecalculator.com/electricity_lcdleddisplay.htm
for a 24" LCD monitor is about $45 a year; for a 50" LCD TV, about $135 per year.. all assuming operating 10 hours per day

Negligible amount, more concern of the longevity of the monitor in case need replacement.

I wonder if is 4K resolution monitor, will it make any difference?

4k yes i think it would. Just turn down contrast and brightness. U can compare power consumption values of the different monitor.

Depends on how big is the monitor screen size. The most common largest monitor screen size is 34". Most home TVs are larger than that. Assuming both screen types are same resolution, TV will still consume more electricity.
