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 | ~8.9h | 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 | ~10.4h | 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 | ~6.6h | 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 1000W surge capacity can handle typical motor-driven loads like small refrigerator compressors, sump pumps, or power tools that require brief startup bursts. The 518.4Wh capacity supports moderate runtime for essential devices during outages. This unit can support typical household backup needs where continuous draw stays within the 500W running limit.
