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

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.ro250 said:

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. Less than I was expecting, so no need to shout at the wife...
Fortunately it's watching various content across Sky and Netflix. While she's 'WFH'.
