How much electricity does a modern 55" OLED TV use?

[wax lyrical]

...if left on and watched almost all day, every day (during the weekdays)?

[Register1]

Standby I would guess 5 watts
Propper on, I suggest 50 watts

[Mr Pointy]

A 55" LG OLED is rated at 109W so costs about 1.74p per hour at my tarrif of 16p/kWh. Of course it may not actually pull 109W, but that would be the likely maximum cost.

Really? That sounds a lot - nearly £2 an hour to watch TV? Not disputing if that's the facts but it seems very high.

How do you get to £2 an hour? I quoted the hourly cost.

Just turned mine off and my IHD dropped 73W.

Because I read it quickly and it says "A 55" LG OLED is rated at 109W so costs about 1.74p per hour"!

The manufactures label on the back will tell you the wattage, then grab a calculator.

1.74p per hour is still less than 2p per hour.

If I only read the first half of the sentence then £1.74 per hour is £1.74 per hour!!

You needed to think that through before typing

If someone watched 5 hours a day @ £1.74 per hour, it would cost them about £260 a month just for the tele

That's ridiculous - I'm not getting one of those!

In my defence, I did as I was querying how much it was following my misreading of the reply!

But the post doesnt say £1.74 it says 1.74p

Thanks All. much appreciated! So approximately 25/30 pence per day.

Less than I was expecting, so no need to shout at the wife...

The potentially bigger problem is screen burn if she leaves it on all day one channel that has fixed graphics like the News channels. Make her change the channel every hour, no return with two hours.

Fortunately it's watching various content across Sky and Netflix. While she's 'WFH'.
