Hello.

Is it normal for my Samsung 17" SyncMaster 763MB CRT monitor to still
create some heat when it is off from Windows XP's power management? I
thought when monitor is off, it is like turning off manually (power
button) except the blinking power light (sleep). I notice my room is
still very warm in this power saving mode as if it was on. And no, I
do not use any fancy OpenGL screen savers for my ATI Radeon 9800 AIW
(128 MB) and Athlon 2200+ CPU to stress on that can cook my room
easily.

Thank you in advance.

In powersaving mode it is still using some power but less.
