TheImpressiveXThe TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K
lemmydividebyzero4k is enough, 60fps is enough, no smart or AI stuff is perfectly fine…
What about reducing the energy consumption? That’s an innovation I want.
1984Are you aware that reducing the energy consumption on monitors is competely irrelevant compared to the giant data centers coming up now, taking as much as power as a full city?
One typical AI data center ≈ 1 TWh/year ≈ the electricity used by 100 000 average homes annually.
A very large AI data center under construction ≈ 20 TWh/year ≈ electricity for ~2 million homes annually.
Fun times isnt it.
I personally do reject that kind of thinking.
“But others are worse” reminds me of the kindergarten…
EU has introduced energy efficiency levels for monitors based on the potential and we are far from the goal.
I can’t tear down AI data centers, but I can choose to buy a monitor that does not heat up my living room and leads to a nicer electricity bill for me.
