Televisions are essential devices that consume a significant amount of electricity in households. On average, a 21-inch color TV consumes about 100-150 watts per hour. The electricity consumption varies depending on how you use it.
To save electricity, users should avoid setting the screen to overly bright levels. The higher the brightness and contrast settings, the more power is consumed, and the shorter the lifespan of the display will be. It is advisable to adjust the brightness and contrast according to the indoor lighting or depending on the movie being watched.
When watching in low light or with the lights off, it is recommended to lower the contrast. Conversely, when watching television during the day, reducing the brightness is advisable, and additional color adjustments may be necessary to achieve clearer and more detailed images. Users should also develop the habit of turning off the TV using the button on the device, limiting the use of the remote control, and avoiding watching television while connected to a video player.
It is important to choose a television size that is suitable for your home; there is no need to use a large TV since larger screens consume more electricity. Additionally, increasing the volume on the TV also leads to higher power consumption. This adjustment method is also applicable when using computer monitors.
