My dad and I are at loggerheads over whether leaving a TV on standby wastes electricity.
I've tried looking this up online, but I can only find opinions and for every opinion is an opposite one:
Some people say it still uses 45% power, others say practically 1%.
Some say it's better to turn a TV off as it'll increase the life expectancy of it, others say the opposite.
Does anyone have any true comparitive data from trusted sources regarding this, please? (or.. something)
Mucho gracias!
