LED TV Electricity Consumption Guide
LED TVs use far less electricity than old CRT or LCD TVs. Here is roughly how many watts each size uses and what that means for your monthly units.

How many watts does an LED TV use?
Typical power while the TV is on (the exact figure is on the label at the back or in the manual):
- 24 inch: about 20 to 30 W
- 32 inch: about 30 to 50 W
- 40 to 43 inch: about 50 to 80 W
- 50 inch: about 70 to 110 W
- 55 inch: about 80 to 130 W
- 65 inch: about 100 to 180 W
- 75 inch: about 150 to 250 W
- 85 inch and bigger: about 200 W and more
Mini LED and bright HDR scenes use more; dark scenes use less. In standby a modern TV uses under 1 W.
How to work out units per month
1 unit = 1 kWh = 1000 watts for one hour.
Units per month = watts x hours per day x 30 / 1000.
- 32 inch at 40 W, 6 hours a day: about 7 units a month.
- 55 inch at 100 W, 6 hours a day: about 18 units a month.
- 65 inch at 140 W, 6 hours a day: about 25 units a month.
Multiply by your tariff to estimate the bill.
Tips to use less electricity
- Turn on the energy-saving or eco picture mode.
- Lower the backlight in the evening.
- Switch off at the socket if you are away for days.
- Pick the right size: a 75 inch uses about twice the power of a 55 inch.
Running a TV on UPS or solar
A 32 or 43 inch LED is easy to run on a home UPS or a small solar system. Bigger TVs need more battery capacity; add up the TV's watts with your fans and lights before you choose an inverter.
