I had to do a study once for designing a large battery backup system. We used an ammeter to test a Sun 19" monitor... it drew 2.0-amps for a second or two, then quickly settled at 0.5-amps. So, I don't think that's significant enough to throw off anyone's calculations. > Excellent point. They should also consider the power-on surge.
