Wattage, actually. Viewsonic lists their LCD's as ranging in consumption from 23w to 64w. You ought to be able to get away with the low end of the spectrum, but 50-60w is a pretty heavy load to put on a PSU that's already running your PC. It's questionable whether or not your PSU can supply that much power.
