Can lowering the contrast on my computer reduce the amount of energy it is using?

Question

ok, i have been like really obsessed with using less energy, partly because we save money, and because it is helping the earth.

I don't need the contrast on my computer up all the way, so I turned it down to about... 44%. Will this help with how much energy the computer is using?

Answer 1

No the contrast doesn't have anything to do with power consumption. the brightness would though

Answer 2

not at all the contrast isn't run on the energy the computer is using, its basically a state in which you change the tones of your picture which is run from the lights at the back of the screen, it won't save energy

Answer 3

Not as much as turing it off.  Don't you want to save all the energy you can?    Or do you just want to save a little and not inconvenience yourself?
