Flickering of computer monitor is a common problem. Flickering is an issue related to Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitor that occurs because of too-low refresh rate. Low refreshing rate may be due to electromagnetic interference or failing of video card or monitor.

Whatever video we see on computer screen is a series of continuous image. Computer screen blends still images so fast that it seems as if it is a video file. Refreshing rate refers to number of times any image changes on the screen per second. By default Windows operating system sets the refreshing rate at 60 flashes per second. Flickering of screen may occur when refresh rate falls below 60 and in some cases even at 60. Flashing of images will be so slow that your mind can easily recognise that these are not continuous but still images as you can clearly see those.

If your computer screen flickers for the very first time then maybe you should check the refresh rate of compute monitor. If it is below 60, you can manually set refreshing rate back to 60 and can solve the problem. Even after manually correcting refreshing rate, your monitor doesn’t stop flickering then you should try out other techniques to solve this problem.

You can check out the drivers of graphics card and computer monitor. They may be the prime source of monitor flicker. Always try to keep the drivers updated as it will increase the working efficiency of your computer. Even after upgrading the drivers, if monitor shows flickering then you should replace the video card but only after ensuring properly that the video card is actually unusable anymore.

Sometimes it happens that you may find the reason of flickering quite confusing. It may be possible that monitor flickers due to some problem in CPU rather than monitor display. In such cases, try to connect your computer monitor with another CPU that is placed at different location of your home or office. Even after doing so the problem remains with monitor then defect is surely present in the monitor. If after trying another CP, monitor doesn’t flicker then there may be some interference problem with prior CPU. In order to solve interference issue, you have to reattach your monitor to prior CPU and restart the computer. Before restarting your computer, try to turn off every electronic equipment or home appliances within the range of 20 feet from your PC. It includes fax machine, printer, external hard disk, drivers and ceiling fan etc. Once you are assure that everything is switched off, it’s time to boot your computer. After successful completion of booting, if monitor doesn’t flicker any more than problem was due to interference only.

Once this problem is solved, you can turn on equipment one by one keeping your computer system on. Now as you got to know the key reason for monitor flicker, try to find the point in electronic equipment that causes interference or you can relocate them in order to avoid further flickering issue.

Above mentioned are some pointers to flickering problems in computer monitor. The reason for flickering can be minor or major, and you can take corrective step accodingly.

Do you have any idea how much power CRT TV consumes when it is on? The answer can be a cause of worry for you.

Everybody needs modern appliances for their homes and such appliances are more power hungry as compared to older ones. Excess of circuit boards, lights and buttons suck electricity at fast rate. If you compare an old TV and new generations highly advance TV, you will find huge difference between electricity costs of both. Size and technology also matter a lot. Let’s see how size and technology influence the electricity consumption in a TV. In order to produce picture on TV screen, four kinds of technologies are required.

Normal CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) TV consumes a lot of power to generate black and white screen. Backlight of TV runs at maximum power. However, if you check out same old CRT TVs, you would get to know that power consumption by them was lesser, hence they produced dimmer images and this is the reason why they were replaced by new CRT TVs. 45 watts of power used by 20 inch CRT TV can be used to charge laptop, and 55 inch plasma TV can consume up to 507 watts of power, that is close enough to a large size refrigerator.

Most of the TV manufacturing companies have considered this issue and introduced power-saving mode in their new televisions like Maxent’s MX-50X3. Never forget that for any electrical appliance size matters a lot, that is why experts have divided power use by the area of the screen so that they can calculate watts per square inch and can calculate power consumed by large and small size screens. If you check out TV power consumption chart you will see that results are quite interesting, CRT consumes 0.25 to 0.40 watt per square inch, LCD consumes 0.16 to 0.41 watt per square inch and Plasma screen consumes 0.30 to 0.40 watt per square inch.

If power is the only concerning factor for your television, then you can switch to rear-projection technology but the only problem is that the image you will see is not as bright as other television gives. Another power consuming factor related to TV is that it consumes power even if it is not turned on. So the latest TV manufacturers have incorporated standby power mode. Some TV sets use nearly 20 watts of standby power while other uses 20 watts of power, but the standby power gets added to the overall electricity consumption of the television.

Most of us use TV as a source for other devices like gaming console, DVD player, external speakers and handy cam but don’t forget that they all need power to function. The shocking result is that Xbox 360 uses 160 watts which is more than any big screen HDTV tested by the experts. If you want to keep a track of total electricity consumed by your television, you can do so by recording actual current flow into your television so that if you want to reduce power consumption, you can do so by using such power measuring instruments.

Finally this serious issue of excess of power consumption by TV has been considered by major TV manufacturing companies and they are working hard to make their product more efficient by reducing its power consumption. So new age LCD TVs are better choice when compared to CRT TVs from power consumption point of view.
