no i ran it for a day and it was only warm i had this for 3 years and also it is not very bright monitor it most likely uses less then 50 watts AOC made it but cannot find it on the site but i looked all there montior and the most that was there used 50 watts but watt do you think is it likely it uses less then 50 watts
Being somewhat dim when you turn on a LCD monitor is normal depending how dim it is. If it appears to have a color cast to it, it probably is going bad.
no it looks like the brightness level was turned down to 80 percent and then gets bright also when at 100 percent it is not that bright 5msec Response Rate - 300cd/m2 Brightness - 800:1 Contrast Ratio - 1440 x 900 Maximum Monitor
Problem with those stickers is that they adhere to some possibly unknown set of rules.
It's very likely that they have to report the MAX power draw at any one time. I.e. the surge current on power up.
If you really want to know whats up, but a watt meter. The reuslts are quite illuminating. You just plug your appliance into it and then run it for a week or so and it'll tell you the real average wattage over time of your device. THere is no other way to find out what something really uses than to measure it directly.
Something like this https://www.wattsupmeters.com/secure/products.php?pn=0
Even the cheapest one on there will tell you a l lot. Plug your entire computer into it with a power strip and see how much you can save by powering it off when your not using it!
*GASP*
Your original post was asking how to find the watts for the monitor. Is there something else you need help with?
The pic in my last post and others have explained the calculations.
yea but it cannot be 120 watts most likely it is under 50 watts
also if it was over 100 watts sure would nt it get very hot being on for 10 hours
with 1.2 amps, 100V, that is 100W. What country are you in? The US standard is 120V@ 60cycles and most of Europe and the UK is 240V @ 50 cycles. Ohm's law applies universally.
