To all the guys that understand a bit of electronics

We got a 32 " Aldi TV that uses 139KW a year when you use it 10 hrs a day

Is it right to say that it uses around 40 watt a hr ??

 

Thanks John

Geez mate, 10 hours a day, when are you going to feed that black cat? When we last spoke you reckon you sleep 14 hours a day.

I think you need to get out in the playground more smile

if in their description they say on for 10hr's per day then yes about 40w... but does the reading take into account the time it's in standby mode or is that after it get turned off at the power point..

All smoke and mirrors to make it sound good from a marketing perspective. 

Somewhere on the back of the unit, or even in the handbook, you should find a rating, either in amps or in watts. This would be much more meaningful. If in amps, then you also need to find a voltage. Watts = volts x amps (near enough anyway for this exercise).
