Energy Consumption Difference between a 29" CRT and 40" LCD/LED

[Sushubh]

Just curious. My dad is sticking with his old Panasonic Tau 29" CRT which just killed the inverter today... I have been pushing him to get a LED/LCD TV. How much is the difference in power consumption? The TV runs for more than 12-14 hours on most weekdays. Slightly less on Weekends.

i think @ghpk would be ideal for this query

power consumption is usually mentioned on the back side of the TV. My old 25inch CRT consumes 120W.

So 29" is likely to be more
How much power would a 40" LED consume? I am thinking the Micromax/Vu model that costs under Rs. 30,000 during Flipkart sales.

 

[newuser990]

yup 29" will be more. No idea about LED.need to check but i guess it should not be more than 100W.

 

[Sushubh]

ooh. so not much difference? i was expecting LEDs to be like 30-40

LED TV 30-40'' Inch takes 30-40 W. Not more than 50W in any case.

Sounds good. Now the only thing I need to do is drop that damn TV accidentally.

^ Haha

BTW, I've a 55" VU LED which if I remember has a power rating of 90w, but with a watt meter it shows 50w for me. The actual consumption depends on what brightness & contrast you are running the same.

Sounds good.
