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

40kWh/1000h

What? That’s a really stupid way to put it. You can’t just “per x hour” a per hour based unit.

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