Can I (economically) justify swapping my CRT to an LCD?

As much as I wanted, I'm afraid I can't. My wattmeter reads 93W/h for our 17'CRTs and 36W/h for the corresponding LCDs. (93 - 36) * 10 (hours a day) n* 22 (working days) / 1000 * €0,12 / KW/h = €1.5. Let's assume we would spend the same in air conditioning to lower the temperature my CRT raises (hope we spend a lot less...). This would give us something like €144 savings on 4 years, and I cannot buy an LCD with that budget. Nope, I cannot definitely justify it economically.
