I guarantee it is taking a LOT more than your playstation (unless it's a laptop). They're better than they used to be...but still suck a lot of power. If you can't turn it off, can you put it to sleep when you're not using it? Most monitors will shutdown after a while of non-use...if yours does not, then that will eat a lot of power, too.
How old is the refridgerator? When we replaced our 15yo unit with a new one, our electric bill immediately went down $20/mo. And the new unit is bigger than the old one.
