“I notice most monitors are not energy star certified - anybody know what this means in terms of electric use or heat coming from monitor, or whatever other difference it could make? Since I'm looking at a 27 inch it's kind of big”

Jesse, the government sets standards on energy ratings. Electronics that use a specific amount of reduced energy to operate, which is less than normal for other comparable devices, earn an energy star rating. If it is equal to or exceeds the normal energy usage, it doesn't earn a star. I wouldn't be too concerned with energy star ratings. The amount of money it saves you annually probably wouldn't buy you a happy meal, nor would it give you a big kick back on your taxes.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.it is energy star certified
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All LED monitors, regardless of size (including this one), use very tiny amounts of power. Never get hot or produce cast off heat the way old CRTs or plasma screens do..You could probably run this for a year on less than $5 of electricity. Even 60 inch LED TVs produce almost no heat.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Take a look at "https://www.energystar.gov/products/office_equipment/displays" - sorry, couldn't figure out how to embed a link. To quote from the site - "On average, monitors that have earned the ENERGY STAR are 25% more energy efficient than standard options." Less power consumption translates to less heat and electricity consumption, though you may not necessarily be able to tell. They also suggest not using screen savers and to use sleep mode.
