For those like me who still use CRT monitors – this is a good thing don’t you think?

I found this link on Power Search

Here are some quotes

“CRT) monitor uses about 74 watts to display an all white web page, but only uses 59 watts to display an all black page”

“Take at look at Google, for instance, who gets about 200 million queries a day. Let’s assume each query is displayed for about 10 seconds; that means Google is running for about 550,000 hours every day on some desktop. Assuming that users run Google in full screen mode, the shift to a black background will save a total of 15 (74-59) watts. Now take into account that about 25 percent of the monitors in the world are CRTs, and at 10 cents a kilowatt-hour, that’s about $75,000/year, a goodly amount of energy and dollars for changing a few color codes.”

Interesting concept! I would like to see an actual study that proves this. Even though the screen is black, it still uses power to display it. Your monitor still has a backlight that displays…anything on the internet?
