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 | ~4.4h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **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 | ~5.1h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **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 | ~3.3h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **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 600 W surge window can support typical compressor-based startup loads found in small refrigerators, window AC units, and sump pumps. The 256 Wh capacity limits sustained runtime, but the 2:1 surge-to-running ratio can handle brief inrush currents during motor startup events. This unit can manage intermittent high-demand appliances in portable or backup scenarios.
LFP chemistry provides stable operation across discharge cycles. The 300 W continuous rating with 600 W surge headroom allows brief high-draw events without immediate overload shutdown. Source: EcoFlow RIVER 2 User Manual v1.0 (OEM documentation).

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the EcoFlow RIVER 2 power a Monitor?
Yes. The EcoFlow RIVER 2 provides 300W running / 600W surge. The Monitor (27-inch LCD) needs 64W / 64W (including 15% buffer). That leaves 236W of running headroom and 536W of surge margin.
How long will the RIVER 2 run a Monitor?
Approximately 3.3 hours, based on the Monitor (27-inch LCD)'s 55W draw and the RIVER 2's 256Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).
What Else Can You Run?
With 180W allocated to the Monitor (27-inch LCD), the RIVER 2 still has ~5W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
