Model-Specific Results

3 of 3 models are SAFE or TIGHT. Most demanding model: Dell P2722H (55W surge).

Model Running Surge Verdict Runtime Source
LG 27UL500-W 41W 41W Safe ~13.1h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 41 W. **Surge load:** 41 W. **Voltage requirement:** 120 V AC. No inrush current. Assumes resistive load profile typical of LED-backlit displays.

Field note: Verify power station output is clean enough for electronics. Inadequate waveform may cause screen flicker or shutdown.

Can I run this monitor on a 300W power station?

Only if your power source can supply at least 41W continuous and 41W surge at 120V. Confirm output waveform quality before connecting sensitive electronics.

Samsung SE370 27-inch 35W 35W Safe ~15.4h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 35 W. **Surge:** 35 W. **Voltage:** 120 V AC. No surge overhead, resistive load. A power station rated for 100 W continuous at 120 V AC meets the electrical requirement.

Field note: Leave at least 15 W headroom above 35 W to account for inverter efficiency loss and avoid nuisance shutdowns during prolonged operation.

Will this monitor run on any portable power station?

Only if your power source can supply at least 35W continuous and 35W surge at 120V.

Dell P2722H 55W 55W Safe ~9.8h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 55 W. **Surge:** 55 W (no startup spike). **Voltage:** 120 V AC. Low continuous draw with zero inrush makes pairing straightforward provided the power station supplies clean 120 V output.

Field note: Verify the power station inverter remains cool during multi-hour sessions. Minimal headroom required.

Can I run this monitor on a 300 W power station?

Only if your power source can supply at least 55W continuous and 55W surge at 120V. Check manufacturer specs for sustained load limits.

Generator Insights

The 1600W surge rating can handle typical motor startup events found in residential compressor-based appliances like refrigerators and well pumps. The 800W running capacity can support continuous loads such as home network equipment, lighting circuits, and small kitchen appliances. This configuration works well for targeted backup scenarios rather than whole-home replacement power.

This unit uses LFP chemistry, which offers stable thermal characteristics during discharge cycles. The 768Wh capacity supports extended runtime for moderate household loads. Source: EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro User Manual v1.0 (manufacturer documentation).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro power a Monitor?

Yes. The EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro provides 800W running / 1600W surge. The Monitor (27-inch LCD) needs 64W / 64W (including 15% buffer). That leaves 736W of running headroom and 1536W of surge margin.

How long will the RIVER 2 Pro run a Monitor?

Approximately 9.8 hours, based on the Monitor (27-inch LCD)'s 55W draw and the RIVER 2 Pro's 768Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).

What Else Can You Run?

With 400W allocated to the Monitor (27-inch LCD), the RIVER 2 Pro still has ~185W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
