Today’s TVs use significantly less than the power-sapping CRT televisions of yesteryear. Still, some are more energy-efficient than others. LED TVs are the most energy-efficient as they switch off pixels that are not in use (i.e. when there are black images on the screen). Not only does this mean a better picture with deeper blacks, but it also means lower energy consumption!
5 hours of LED TV time a day will use around 11 kWh per month. However, it’s important to switch your TV off at the wall when not in use. Leaving it on standby means that it uses up to 80% as much energy when not in use as it does when active.
