I have an old Acer AL732 which is listed as having an operational power consumption of 50 Watt with a resolution of 1280 x 1024.
If I were to replace it with a Viseo 243D with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and listed as having an operational power consumption of 20 Watt; should I then expect my computer (all parts of it in total) to use less or more power in the following scenarios:
Obviously, the display itself should consume less power. But what about the graphics card and processor - will the extra pixels they have to account for mean that in sum, there is barely no gain - or even an increase in drawn power?
This might seem like an odd question, but I am really curious about this.

■ browsing the web, editing documents etc. (i.e. "ordinary" PC use)
■ gaming at maximum resolution of each display
■ gaming at the same resolution on each display (e.g. 1280 x 1024 for the new display, if possible)
