I assume that nobody is really buying CRTs anymore, so it's perhaps more interesting question how to further save energy in using flat displays. For example, will screen savers actually save energy? The <a href="http://ecenter.colorado.edu/energy/projects/green_computing.html" title="Green computing guide">Green computing guide</a> by University of Colorado reminds that "if screen saver images appear on your monitor for more than 5 minutes, you are wasting energy". So adjust your screens to go to sleep after 20 min of inactivity.</p> Sat, 29 Dec 2007 19:03:00 +0200 urn:uuid:a9d4c9d7-1975-4599-97bd-8a8560100398 admin http://ekoneko.com/blog/articles/2007/12/29/green-computing-report Office http://ekoneko.com/blog/articles/trackback/7
