A couple of months back I replaced a 17 year old television set after it failed. I purchased a larger sized set in order to have about the same sized picture when going from the 4:3 format to the 16:9.
Today I plugged it and the supporting peripherals, such as Roku streaming player, digital switching device, etc., into a Kill A Watt meter to determine how much energy they were consuming.
In standby mode about 9 watts usage, in operational mode from 61-66 with about 125 start up for the actual set, which is far less than the 180 watt rating on the set.
In other words for 8¢ a day (or less) I get plenty of movie or other video entertainment.
Other than enjoying all that Mother Nature provides what else can you enjoy that costs so little per hour?
Television, a Roku player, and Netflix via the Internet, a great combination in my opinion.
