I don't know which one is lowest, but AFAIK the ones that use LED backlighting use less power.

I just took some kill-a-watt measurements for my monitors and did some math:
CRT vs. LED LCD

[watts(active)] [native res] [pixels] [pixels/watt] [diagonal] [WidthxHeight] [area in sq] [area(in)/watt]
82 2048x1536 3145728 38362.54 19.75" 16"x12" 192 2.34
15 1920x1080 2073600 138240.00 21.5" 18.75"x10.5" 196.875 13.125

% diff: 51.7% -72.3% -7.2% -2.5% -82.2%

Ok, no tabs or multiple spaces here ? bummer ...

my CRT tv uses about 100W

Was going to replace my CRT TVs with LCD for Power Savings, until I saw the LCD v CRT comparisons.
