Monitor Power can be a really costly when you do have CRT monitor(s) connected to your windows computer. LCD or LED Monitors are said to consume less electricity as compared to CRT Monitor. Power Settings of a Windows Computer allows you to send all connected monitors to sleep mode when windows computer is left inactive or idle for configured number of minutes. All the Monitors sent to sleep mode using this power saving functionality wake up or come back to full power mode as soon as any key on keyboard is pressed, mouse movement is done or any currently running software wakes up the monitor.
