Monitor power consumption
After a fairly colourful arguement with my father ("where the **** did that come from?" etc), I'm trying to find out if what he said his true, and to what degree.
I've just replaced my dodgy, flickery old 14" monitor with a 19" one, and he is now bitching about burning loads of power and wasting money. Is there really a massive increase in power usage between 19" and smaller monitors, say 14-17"? I know they will use more, but I wanted to know if he was exagerrating as usual to get me off the PC ("computers should only be used for work, video games are sad" etc etc).
*sigh*
