The new monitor could save UK firms approximately £6 per monitor per year, based on typical daily usage of eight hours and 16 hours standby throughout a year, said Fujitsu Siemens. Regular monitors continue to draw power of between one and six watts, even in standby mode, the firm said.
The new power-saving technology will be incorporated initially into the IT vendor's Scenicview Premium Line ECO range in the 20-inch P20W-5 ECO and the 22-inch P22W-5 ECO.
