Important for those of us who game on TV's or plan to buy one.
Although the article centres on 8k Tvs you will see from the table the maximum power limits on other Tv's. So a 4k 55" panel will have a maximum wattage of 84 watts (my current 4k 55" Oled uses 110w). As the article says manufacturers will have to cut features to meet these limits. Even though this is an EU regulation I suspect manufaturers will alter all models will to be sold worldwide (I cannot imagine them making 2 different models for EU and non EU).
The EU brought in similar regulations in relation to vacuum cleaners some years ago.
Probably won't be long before something similar happens to Graphics cards
