As part of an overall campus effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the Vice Chancellor's Administrative Council (VCAC), the Office of the CIO (OCIO), and Cal Overstock and Surplus are sponsoring a project to replace CRT monitors on campus with energy-efficient LCD monitors. A replacement credit of $20.00 is available for every LCD monitor purchased by September 25, 2009, in combination with the trade-in of a working CRT monitor. There are 1000 replacement credits available for the project.
Discounted LCD monitors
To further help departments make the switch from CRT monitors to LCDs, IST's Technology Acquisition and Sales (TAS) has negotiated two great deals on LCD monitors. This special pricing is available through September 25, 2009. To order, go to www.dell.com/ucbmonitorprogram.
| LCD monitor | Model | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Dell 19" widescreen flat panel | E1910H | $102.00 + state environmental fee and tax |
| Dell 20" widescreen flat panel | E2010H | $141.00 + state environmental fee and tax |
| These prices are valid through Friday, September 25, 2009.
There is no limit on the number of monitors that can be bought at these prices. |

Each LCD monitor that replaces a CRT monitor saves the University about 344 kWh of electricity ($30.96), or 104 kg of carbon dioxide emissions, per year. These small reductions add up and contribute to the campuswide effort to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. For details, see UC Berkeley's 2009 Climate Action Plan.
