    Interesting thread (to begin with) - really promising to see the advances being made in power consumption - will be interesting to see how it goes on from here. I take the point about it being underpowered, but a couple of years back you would get nothing in that power range.

    BTW Custardy - think you are mistaken if you thing berba insulted you ... the only thing I can see that even approaches insulting ("noobie" comment) was a different poster :)

    AOC released a 22"USB powered monitor a few weeks ago. You plug it into 2 USB ports and it uses less than 10W.
