How energy efficient are flat screen televisions?

Answer 1

The energy efficiency of flat screen televisions depends on the brand and model. Most flat screens are more energy efficient than box televisions, but the amount of energy efficiency depends on the television itself.

Answer 2

. LCD's draw between 1/3 and 1/2 as much power as a CRT television.That saves you about 20$ a year in electricity per tv.It also saves you a bit on your Air Conditioning as CRT's produce far more heat.

I do not know the exact amount but they do save a lot of energy. You can try comparing the ratings.

Answer 3

Flat screen TVs do not use more energy than regular TVs. Actually they use less energy. As flat screen TVs normally have much bigger screen and old type conventional TVs, they have higher consumption due to bigger size.

Answer 4

Plasma televisions are alright in energy conservation, but you should look more towards LED televisions or rather, LCD televisions, which have been getting better at conserving energy.
