Amplitude Modulation Pseudo-Nonoise abbreviated as AMPS. It is a display technology that is used in PC monitors. The common type of PC monitor is the cathode ray tube (CRT) monitor, which displays images on a phosphor-coated screen. CRT monitors are available in different sizes, the most common being 17 inches.
Monitors and computers are linked by video cables, with VGA cables being the most common type of video cable. DisplayPort and HDMI cables are available in addition to DVI and HDMI cables. Watts refers to the units used to measure a monitor’s power consumption, and the CRT monitors consume about 75 watts of power on average. The LCD monitors have an average power consumption of 50 watts. The power consumption of a monitor is determined by its size, resolution, refresh rate, and brightness. In this article, we will walk you through how many Amps a PC monitor use and the method of consumption

How much Power/Amps does a PC monitor consume?

Most PC monitors consume between 20 and 30 watts of power, which translates to 0.17-0.25 amps. To be safe, a surge protector capable of handling at least 6 to 8 amps is required for a standard 120-volt power outlet. In any case, it is always a good idea to check the power requirements of the monitor model before selecting one. Some of the latest models are more power-efficient than the older models. In contrast, a high-end gaming monitor is likely to consume more energy than a standard monitor. If you don’t know how much power your monitor consumes, take a look at the specifications segment of the manual/guide that came with it, or on the manufacturer’s site.
When you know how much watt your monitor consumes, you can easily determine how many amps it requires. Simply divide the number of amps by the voltage (120 in this case). For example, if your monitor consumes 30 watts, divide 30 by 120, which equals 0.25 amps. It should be noted that almost all computer monitors will only use their maximum power draw for brief periods when turned on, or when displaying particularly bright images. They will, for the most part, operate at a lower power level, so you will not be needing a surge protector with a lot of extra amperages to handle those brief spikes.

How many amps does a computer use?

The majority of desktop computers use somewhere between 60 and 250 watts. To put that into perspective, a 120-watt desktop would draw 1 amp from a 120-volt power outlet (note that watts are equal to amps multiplied by volts). Laptops consume far less power, ranging between 15 and 45 watts, which makes them great for portability. The wattage requirements for most computers and other electronic devices can be found on their labels or manuals. If you can’t find that information, you might be able to take a calculated guess based on the device’s size and features. An all-in-one printer/scanner/copier, for example, will consume more power than a regular printer.
A gaming computer with multiple graphics cards will consume more energy than a typical office computer. While wattage indicates how much power a device consumes, amperage is more important when selecting an uninterruptible power supply (UPS. Because the number of watts used can vary depending on the voltage, the amperage remains constant. A laptop, for example, uses 30 watts at 120 volts and 0.25 amps. However, if you plug the same laptop into a 240-volt power outlet, it will continue to use 30 watts while drawing only 0.125 amps from the power outlet.
When purchasing UPS systems and batteries, look for the amperage rating as opposed to the wattage rating. A UPS capable of delivering 1,500 watts of power may only be capable of delivering 6 amps of current. That may not be enough to keep your PC and other devices running for an extended period. A UPS with a lower wattage rating but a relatively high amperage rating, on the other hand, will be able to supply the power you require for a longer time.

Conclusion

Most computer monitors consume between 10 and 100 watts of power, meaning they use between 0.083 and 0.833 amps. As mentioned above, you can easily find the amount of Amps a PC monitor use through the manual that comes with it. From there you can calculate the number of amps it uses.
