monitor watts

Another thing to consider is that inside these devices is a transformer which converts the actual volts to something MUCH lower, say, 12V or 36V. thanks maybe you should have said that at first but thanks

I had just thought of it
50Hz-60Hz is for the type power you have in Ireland. the switch is there because its most likely sold all over Europe where there are differing power available. Hz=1 cycle, alternating current reverses that many times per second.

I knew it was an LCD but it probably has a fluorescent back light which uses a high voltage step up circuit :)

i think it is a tft lcd also this montior is from the december 2007 as it says on the back but it surely it would not use over 60 watts also how would i know if it had a fluorescent back light also on the montior menu would it not have a option for a back light here is the monitor http://is01.thegumtree.com/image/extrabig/69885209.jpg
