How Is The Memorex 32″ Lcd Hdtv On The Electricity? How Much Higher Compare To The Regular 32″ Tube Tv’s?
To specifiy, the above question, how is the memorex 32″ LCD on the electric bill without cable hookup? How much of a difference is it compared to a regular 32″ in electric with the usage of both being on for about 8 hours?
Roughly speaking you can expect to save 25%-50% on your energy cost. A 32″ LCD draws about 160 W, while a 32″ CRT is closer to 240 W. At 8 hours per day, you’d use it almost 3,000 hours per year. The 80W difference would be about 1/3 less or a reduction of 80 Kilowatts per year.
I would need specific model numbers to make an uber detailed comparison, but I believe in general LCD technology displays generally consume fairly less power then CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) displays of an equal size.
