You may notice that the TV's power consumption in Standby state seems to be higher than what has been written in technical specifications.

The following factors can influence the TV's Standby power consumption:

  • The TV has different standby states:
    1. First, the TV goes to active Standby, (highest standby power consumption). In this state, the TV checks for software updates, performs automatic service updates, prepares for potential recordings, etc.
    2. After active Standby, TV goes to Full Standby (lowest standby power consumption). In this state, the TV has minimal activity. The delay between active Standby and Full Standby varies from tens of minutes up to one or two hours, depending on the TV model and the tasks that the TV has to perform.
  • Some settings can increase power consumption in Standby mode. These settings are, for example, Quick start, Remote Start, Google cast remote ON, EPG Caching, etc. Also, the use of a MHL connection and Wi-Fi (rather than Ethernet) connection can influence the power consumption levels. According to the settings and use of these features, Standby power can vary.
