Does 2 monitors use more electricity than 1 monitor?

>>58423370
No, it's halved between them.

No, it uses less. In fact, having infinite monitors would cause them to work without any electricity.

I once read of a guy who had so many monitors connected that he actually produced electricity, and people paid him to have some of his power.

It depends on the operating system

plebs...
i glued one screen on the back of another screen and now i have an infinite clean energy source

2 light bulbs use less power than 1

No, it uses more

Three monitors, however, will use less electricity than one monitor, four monitors use no electricity, and five reverses entropy

So wait, if we put a power strip onto a power strip and keep doing that, are we using more electronics with less electricity?

Only if they have different resolutions.

If they have the same resolution they actually consume less power.

Not everybody knows that the resolution requirement is independent of the screens sizes, so you can have full HD 22' or 20' or 24' - it will still consume less power, no matter the diagonal.

It depends on the video connection. 3 or more monitors on HDMI will actually consume less than 2. I know on space stations and the like, its not allowed to only have 1 powered monitor at the time.

only if you connect them in series
if you connect them in parallel, overall resistance is reduced so power consumption is reduced. it's ohm's law.

Monitors don't consume power.

Yes, perpetuum mobile here we come.

Power consumes monitors.

Just be careful not to plug a power strip into itself. The flow of electrons will accelerate out of control, turning the power strip into a sort of mini hadron collider, and you'll start generating dark electricity instead.

Made me giggle

>falling for the monitor electricity jew
I'm happy with my 20 monitor setup

>>58423370
would using the microwave and the toaster at the same time use more electricity?
