Lynn,
That was a guess and probably way too high. I have 3-year old
46-inch LED flat-screen. But also a home theater receiver rated to
125w audio and two DVD drives, a VCR and satellite receiver. So all
the remote control power supplies do add up - to what? I do not know
- haven't measured the total load.
But since the TV is on from 5pm-10pm and off the rest of the day it
seems there would be some savings by disconnecting the ac power. We
have a six outlet strip which makes that simple. It does reduce fire hazard.
On the other hand I keep my Astron station 12v supply on full time
which supplies the OCXO, so I do not have any delay waiting for it to
stabilize. I have my ham gear on more frequently than the TV.
We make a pot of coffee (fresh ground) in the morning and turn-off
the maker after it finishes. Coffee pot draws quite big load keeping
water and coffee pot hot. And that only ruins the coffee. We just
reheat a cup in the microwave when we want hot coffee. Do we save
any power this way?? But the coffee tastes better :-)
73, Ed

You need to buy a new TV. The new ones are under a half-watt when
plugged in but turned off.
