OTish: TV power consumption

Tim+ · 2022-08-29T21:16:52+00:00

Bought myself a power monitoring smart plug the other day to try and findout if there’re any power hungry devices left in our house worthtrimming/replacing and was a bit surprised to find that our flat screen 37”LCD Panasonic uses around 120-130 watts whist on. (A TX-37LZD80).Somehow I thought it would be less than this but maybe it’s a feature ofits age? Are new TVs significantly more economical?Just curious really as replacing it would take a long time to recoup anypower savings I imagine and seems wasteful when it still works well.Tim

We've been watching the old Maigret series. It's in B&W, and we have a

4kHDR TV ;)

Old B&W material often often looks surprisingly sharp, even on SD digital telly.

Blurry vision - too much low pass filtering, too low a broadcast data rate :)
