LG has just announced what it claims to be the "world's most energy-efficient monitor," and it looks like it's been able to lay claim to that (potentially dubious) title without making too many compromises on specs. That includes a 22-inch screen size with a 1680 x 1050 resolution, a lofty 10,000:1 contrast ratio, a 2 ms response time, a 170 degree viewing angle, and a 250cd/m2 brightness rating, all while supposedly maintaining a 45% (or roughly 40W) reduction power consumption compared to other models. No word on a price, unfortunately, but the Flatron W2252TE will apparently be available in the UK this August.

so when does it come stateside?
If its a TN display, I dont care about this monitor.
It's a TN :(
maybe it's the most energy-saving because you'll never want to use it?
How can you maintain a 2ms refresh and a 10,000:1 contrast with less than half the power? Not to mention the brightness and size...
Although, if it's that big, eco friendly, and cheap-ish, I'm in for one.
=]
If 40W will lower my electric bill then yay, but claim eco-friendly doesn't motivate me at all.
TODAY IS CARBON BELCH DAY!
Increase your carbon footprint to protest environmental idiocy!
Carbon is not bad.
I agree with your first sentence...
Your second has no proof, your third is libel, and your last depends on perspective.
Carbon isn't bad. Without carbon there'd be no life and there'd be no us and then no one to use these monitors.
FUCK YEAH! It's real macho to leave all the lights on, and the water running, and to drive a hulking SUV with 9mpg rather than a motorcycle. Yeah! Rah rah and all that.
Sometimes, just to spite the hippies, I leave my microwave on all day. That'll show em.
Why not make use of that microwave by putting said hippies in it?
This doesn't seem very energy efficient to me, as I have a HP w2207 that uses only 32W when running (verified via Kill-A-Watt).
Flatron... is this another transformer or what?
DO NOT WANT. seriously. tis ugly.
Ah, nice, this can offset my PS3 being on. It can't? Oh.
"Is it on?"
Is it an OLED display?
It is definately NOT Oled.
I'm however extremely curious as to how they achieve these power savings... LED backlighting?
It's a little bit smaller but Sun's display claims to have a 37W maximum http://www.sun.com/desktop/products/monitors/19lcd/
what retard wants to lose 20$ extra a month on the power bill just for a monitor running! you don't get better off by burning cash on power drainage.
it would be better if you could backup your claims with facts or reliable data like those from xbit labs, energy efficient monitors.org.com, tom's hardware and the likes.
