Behold, the most energy-efficient desktop computer monitor ever made. That'll be $685 if you want a class-A energy rating on a bog standard 1080p IPS panel.

I want one but the asking price is beyond retarded, maybe in 3-5 years when corpos are throwing these out it'll be worth it to grab one.

You might be able to justify the price if you use it 24/7/365 for over 10 years, compared to something that uses like 50 watts. Assuming it doesn't break before then (lol).

against a 50 Watt monitor, running 24/7, this would save you 100€ per year in germany.
40 W * 24h ~ 1kWh
1kWh ~ 0.3€
0.3€/day * 364 days = 100€
half of the delta is more realistic for a FHD monitor, a 50W monitor is probably 4K so they're not really competing
I can see these used by companies that are forced to do so by some retarded EU regulation

Don’t worry russia will plop a few reactors there when it gets around to it in a few years

My fucking GPU is ~40w on idle, because I got 2 monitors. Both are ~50w. But 1 monitor only gets my gpu to 5-10w.....

I'm all for power efficiency, but they probably got the "6W typical" by making a default "eco mode" that sets the brightness to 5% and auto-dims/turns off after 1 minute of static content or something. Considering it has a max of 94W it is probably no different than any other monitor at comparable brightness.

I mean, it's not impossible for a monitor to be more efficient.
LEDs strained at the maximum current you would want to run them can be 100lm/w
With a lower current and more LEDs, this can be 200lm/w pretty easy nowadays.
The EU does seem to want at least 150 nits for testing, so monitors can't get away with being stupidly dim

Also the 94W likely has to do with the USB C passthrough. Charge your laptop trough the port and technically the monitor is "consuming" 94W but most of that is just being passed on to the type-c downstream devica

not fucking worth $600+ tho

>nobody itt considers van dwellers, glampers, richfags with solar powered RVs, etc
its not about power bills, its about battery life

I don't care if it's energy efficient, I just don't want any soap opera goyming effects, it being cheap is a nice bonus

yeah, I heard most cpus fuck this up
I consider an upper bound of 50€ per year totally worth it for a second monitor though. Maybe you can achieve something similar with one ultrawide monitor, but I find workspace management much easier when you have two independent monitors you can control seperately
