How many watts required for normal television?

Answer 1

Watt is a unit of power, or energy per time. Therefore, "watt per hour" is wrong: While the TV is on, it uses so-and-so many watts (or Joules/second), while it is off, it doesn't.

TVs vary widely in their usage; CRTs (the big bulky ones) use more than the modern flat-screen TVs. Look at the back of your TV for electrical specifications.

Perhaps you want to know how much you spend an hour. 200 Watts (for example) is the same as 200 watt-hours per hour, or 0.2 kilowatt-hours per hour. To convert this into money, look at a bill from the power company to see how much you spend for every kWh.

Answer 2

A typical normal television requires around 80-400 watts to operate, depending on the size and technology of the TV. Older models tend to consume more energy compared to newer, more energy-efficient models.

Answer 3

Depends on the type of TV. Between 250 and 500 watts is a typical power draw for an appliance like that. Usually there's a rating plate on the back.

Answer 4

40 to 100 W for a CRT TV. 20-50 Watts for an LCD
