A what now? Oh, yes, the CRT monitor which made up less than a quarter
of monitors when Google referred to independent findings in 2007 that
Blackle made no
overall difference.
And how many CRT monitors do you reckon are around now? I genuinely
can't remember the last time I saw a CRT - perhaps 2 or 3% of
monitors?
Anyway, here are the findings:

monitors around at all!)
"With the LCD monitor market penetration worldwide now beyond 75%,
it’s the LCD monitor power consumption that’s just as, if not more,
important.
The most interesting aspect we found was that of the LCD monitors we
tested of size 22-inches or less, all showed an increase in power
consumption using Blackle. Beyond the 22-inch mark however, five of
the six models showed a fractional decrease in power consumption when
using Blackle, except the ViewSonic VX2835wm, which showed a 2.2-watt
increase.
For the five that dropped their power consumption, the average drop
was 3.16-watts, again, not the 15-watts being suggested.
But for the sake of fairness, here’s what we suggest – if you’re using
a CRT monitor, you can save some power by using Blackle however it
won’t be as much as its supporters will have you believe.
The power consumption difference between Google and Blackle on all 23
LCD monitors was as small as you could get – an increase of 100mW
(0.1Watts)."
