Pyxis Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Hey Guys, How much electricity do TVs actually consume? I'm looking for a new 32 inch HDTV for my room, although no websites appear to state the amount of watts they use. Are there any TVs in particular that dont consume that much electricity? I'd like one with freeview built in.
McPhee Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 TVs really aren't very efficient, it says it all when Toshiba are touting their new LCDs as being "Energy Efficient" because they have an off switch rather than standby... Anyhow, the most efficient sets are LCDs. From there i think it's a case of looking up the power consumption for individual models
Raining_again Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 OR instead of looking for a power saving one, just turn it off at the wall when you aren't using it? I think they are generally one in the same when you are getting big ass TVs.
Pyxis Posted June 15, 2008 Author Posted June 15, 2008 Thanks you two. I suppose the best thing to do would be to have a good look around on manufacturers' websites.
