To the thread, could anyone recommend a 19” monitor? I already have a 21” and two 17” monitors running off matrox cards as Multiple-display under NT4. I think my desktop can fit one more 19” monitor. I appreciate if anyone could share experiences of a good 19” monitor with crisp text. Thanks. Clark

I don't worry about juice either, particularly, but I do have a problem with heat, so I think about these things. The monitors produce the most heat, by far, so I shut them down. My 21" is on a Matrox millenium which, for the life of me, I can't get to go into power saver mode in NT (it did under Win 95). Spots, As I have said before and I guess people aren't paying attention. NT doesn't support APM. No monitor and video card by default will powerdown. from my research only one vendor makes a screensaver that can power down VESA energy star compliant monitors... I don't use this but tried it several years ago on another system and it worked as advertised. digconsys.com Sean

Spots for the life of me, I can't get to go into power saver mode in NT I was having that problem with my Mac system. I found a screensaver app that replaced my existing powerdown features ( the monitor sw never worked) with a whole slew of power management stuff for disks and monitor that work fine. Its only for Macs though.....Never thought I would get to say that<gg>. But the site which linked me to this sw also lists about a dozon windows screensaver sites. You may be able to fine similar replacement powerdown software for your Nt machine at one of these links.....if you feel its worth some effort.
