What are you even getting at here?

That is a totally different use case. A display is supposed to always be on, while a cpu should turn off while not in use. When a cpu has no work it slows down to conserve power and reduce heat output. What happens when a monitor has no input data? It goes to sleep. It doesn't just display the last thing and continue processing a stream of data from it's input.

Well Bitcoin is always on because people are constantly using it so it can't "conserve power" just as a constantly on display or CPU can't.
