Re:LG made an 18-inch display you can roll up like a newspaper by bjelkeman-again on Monday January 04, 2016 @11:30AM (#10836456)
This commercial LG LED[1], suitable to be on 24/7 has a power reduction mode at 100 watt. Let's assume that works when it is in screensaver/art mode and it would use 2.4 kWh/day.

A Tesla model S can get 240 wh/km, so the energy use of the display would power an electric car for 10 km. so for a year then it would be the equivalent of moving an electric car 3650 km. I don't drive that much, but it is actually about half of my yearly driving averaged over the last 10 years. Personally I rather turn that screen off and power my next car with it.

Edit: just saw you said 16 hours. Well you can do the math. :)
