a sort off update for those who micromanage energy use in this case on tvs
i used the old tv from the shed that used 47w in the lean too sitting area i used a chromecast on a 10ft /3m hdmi lead to give it a connection via direct line off sight using 2.8w so 50w for a 22" now decided way too high energy wise
so now found currys do a 24" for £120 free delivery but its bells and whistles that i dont need
now the blurb stated 22w so pleasantly surprised as not connecting or opening any features just aeriel tuning comes in at 18w and with cromecast dongle powered and connected to the tv only 20w a 60% saving
buuuuttt heres the amazing part it has several apps or features inbuilt by force stopping and or turning off plus removing all permissions or connections it goes down to between 13.5 to 15 w call it 14.5 so a 70% reduction
now all these figures are pointless but at power costing around 31p per kw and 35w saved every hour thats 1p her hour saved now not a kings ransom but equals a free tv after around 4 years at 10 hrs a day
