Question for people with triple monitor setups!!

The Reaper Wolf · May 31, 2017

Is your power bill high? I want to do it but I dont want my power bill sky rocketing so can anyone tell me how much I would have to pay?

Honestly, no. I have two computers, one of them have a 29 inch monitor, and my other is the triple screen. I leave them on all the time, but when it's not in use, I have them shut off after 45mins. I live in OK, and my bill is usually under $80, and I have a 3 bedroom house. Then again, I don't use my AC as I have ceiling fans. But your monitor will barely draw power to raise up your light bill.

Related to the monitors directly? It's tough to say, but even a 4K 27-30" monitor shouldn't be more than 70W a piece.

Assuming 70W x 3 = 210W
x24 hours a day
=5,040 Watt hours per day
/1000 = 5.04 kWh per day

5.04 kWh x 365 days a year = 1,840 kWh per year

Cost per kWh will vary depending on your locale, and there will be provided fees etc on top.
A common cost per kWh would be somewhere around 0.10-0.20 (cents, pence etc).

So, 1840 kWh x 0.1 = $184 (dollars/pounds/euros or equilvalent)
1840 kWh x 0.2 = $368
+ Fees, annually.

So your monitors themselves are going to run you somewhere in the $15-$30 per month........ *IF* you ran them at their full power (ie always on), 24/7 x 365.

So, yeah. <$10/month easily for 'normal' use.

Ok thanks for that I think I will do a triple monitor setup.
