How many watts to run a tv?

Answer 1

The size of a television helps determine how many amps it takes to run the device. The amps will vary depending on the type of television as well as the size. Older televisions that are not LCD will use different amps than the LCD models.

Answer 2

My 80 cm TV uses approximately 500 watt maximum when operating, and approx 100 watt when not operating, but still on 'stand by'. If you are using a VCR or a DVD recorder at the same time then it will consume more depending on the wattage of the recorder you are using with it. Look at the printed details on your recorder. They always have the wattage printed on the machine somewhere.

Answer 3

Look on the nameplate of your TV. There you might find the wattage. If not ,look for the amperage of the unit and multiply it times the voltage of the unit. The product of the two will be the wattage of the unit. W = A x V.

Answer 4

They're all different. There should be a tag on the TV that gives you that information. It's probably on the back, near the power cord.

Answer 5

My television, a 32 inch flat screen, uses 240 volts, 135 watts and 0.8 amps.
