Energy consumption monitor A,B,C etc

[raz]

i want to buy a new monitor but there are a bunch of energy consunption rates from A being the best and G the worse... how bad are G rated monitors? there are a bunch of them... i found one with rating A but that one is way way more expensive... thoughts?

Just download the manuals and look at the energy consumption in watts. You’ll be able to work it out to the penny that way.

The best ones are F or G, mine is a 1440P 240Hz OLED 1000 nits peak, pretty sure it's G maybe F.

they used to be useful but since they changed the energy rating it is now useless because it isn't based on how efficient the device is no it became a norm to what a average variant of a certain device is at least here it is

something that is efficient and drawing 100 watt is better then a device drawing 100 watt just because it can with the old energy rating i knew if a device was efficient now its yolo

The baxk of the monitor will have volts, and amps or watts. Lower watts or amps better

~17 watts

pretty much all led backlit lcd panel monitors <30in (ips, va, tn) will be ~20w when on, and <1w when off
the older cfl back lit would be ~40w

Moat Monitors these days also have onboard settings that allow you to lower the power consumption and also set idle time for screen sleep, etc. Plus of not need very high brightness/contrast you can toggle to a different onboard profile quickly as needed and those lower settings will lower power consumption and heat as well

basically a proper hdr monitor will never meet the energy rating standards regardless that a lot of them went from drawing like 600+ watt to just around a 100 watt that is what i ment with efficiency

not factoring in this information makes the energy ratings literally useless when comparing devices and on top of scalability as a lot of devices now considered G could use less watts then a A product if they reduce the settings equivalent to the A device

27 - 32 inch range is typically around 55-65 Watts on its higher end settings.
