Blackle update
An update on my Blackle post from yesterday. Sadly, a little more digging suggests that (unfortunately) this will only make a difference for CRT monitors, which consume 74 Watts to display a white screen versus 59 Watts to display a black screen. The power consumption of LCDs is not affected by the colors displayed on screen. Changing the display brightness seems to be the only way to conserve energy on an LCD. On a positive note, while Blackle won't help LCD users save power, LCDs are significantly more energy efficient than CRT's overall.Labels: search, sustainability
