Looked at our electricity consumption after the Mrs has highlighted we seem to spend a lot. Looking at the 7 day history it appears sat, sun, and the only day this week the Mrs was at home was high (£2.30/day vs 1.27 normal). This made me think - the only thing different was the TV.

We have an old 36” Samsung ~2009 model. 160W from morning to night (Mrs is the only one that watches it really).

So it got me thinking - what’s the best new TV that is low power. Although 36” fits our front tool perfectly it seems ~40” may be an option.

Thoughts/opinions?
 
Ok - found more info: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...35605953/6Series_Power_consumption_LCD_TV.pdf

So 160W at the back, 115W consumption at 65% brightness as a standard model. Note that due to a buzzing defect in the screen regulator, it needs 20/20 set so I suspect that it's higher that 115W.

She may have increased the temps (CH pump running longer) and oven for breakfast would contribute. It still seems a high consumption for a TV (max 160W).

Looking at it, it seems a modern 40" LED uses 1/2 that.
