Does it save more electricity if...?

Question

i turn of the monitor all the way, or if i put up a screen saver?

Answer 1

You´ll save more electricity if turn off the monitor, because in this way there isn´t iternal cunsumption

Answer 2

i'd say all the way off, but it depends on how long. If it's just for an hour or so-then don't. If you plan like half the day or all day and the night,yeah turn it off.

Answer 3

Turn completely off for periods of >6hr's. Periods <6hr's a screen saver is ok. The turning on - off -on, like many other electronics is not good for the sake of reliability of components within the monitor. The heating/cooling/heating is more detrimental and could cause premature failure.

Answer 4

screen saver does not save energy, It used to save old type CRT screens from burn-in.

Turning it off saves energy.
