anything be done to reduce power consumption

Richard, Not really. The panel and power supply will demand a certain amount of power. Some might suggest that changing your settings from bright to dim may change the power consumption, but the difference in power usage is minimal. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

sorry, that wont be near enough power. your processor is already eating half of that. I would go 500 or better.

No problems so far but I would not use constant power to the unit due to constant battery drain. I would use a external power switch to control power.

depends on other hardware, graphics card, number of harddrives etc. google "psu calculator" and compute your power needs

The unit itself has no power-consumption rating that I can see. If I had to guess, I'd say it consumes probably as much power as a night-light, or less. The unit itself is basically a volt/amp meter coupled with a display - none of these are power-hungry components.

Yes you can use it for anything. You will want to turn off the power savings mode so when you turn off monitor, tv etc it won't turn everything plugged into the green outlets.

YES and suggest a GFI circuit. Remember to reset the "clock portion" if you have power outages.

I haven't noticed an increase on my electric bill and haven't measured electricity usage specifically for this device. It does go into a sleep mode when not in use. When we are going to be gone or won't be using the computers for a while ii usually turn off the power supply for this and the rest of my network peripherals.

This is not a question. You overheated it. Use a lower power for a little longer and you will reduce the likelihood of overheating.

Greetings,Great question!Your power consumption will definitely vary depending on the components you install. A good starting point for a basic configuration (65W TDP CPU, A couple of hard drives) will be around 100W. Make sure you check the power requirements of any large components you decide to add (e.g., video card).Best regards,MITXPC

I use auto. Might as well let it figure when it needs power. No sense leaving it on 24/7.

Very low power is most useful for large items like coins. Anything much above 20X would be overkill. As stated before this item is hardly usable and if considering buying it, I WOULD NOT!

Yes, Less watts will not hurt it. You will just not be getting full power out of it.

Take your remote and click the HOME button, now place the pointer on Settings and click the middle button on your remote, then place the pointer on PICTURE and click the middle button, now put the pointer on Energy Saving then click the middle button. Now click on Off to turn Energy Saving off. That should do it.

Not sure why you would want/need to, but sure, you could use a PSU instead of the supplied power. I have yet to use anything but the supplied PS.

Yes you can. I hope you have a good enough PSU to suffice the power consumption of those babies. A 850w PSU will do nicely!

If you go to "power options" you can customize the way your computer acts when it is plugged in or when it is on battery power. Anytime your computer is on battery power it would then follow the directive that you have programmed at that location. I believe there are also preset options there for Power Saver functions.
