    Neither hopefully. The former at least is a unit of power, but 40 kW is enough to heat up a whole apartment building.

    In reality a large and older monitor might use a couple hundred watts. A small modern 24" will probably use closer to 50 W (guesstimating), which is still a decent chunk of the power draw of a budget build.

      True, they probably ment to say 40W, or as the EU energy label likes to say: 40kWh/1000h

          40 kilowatt-hours used per one thousand hours of runtime is a perfectly valid if cumbersome unit
