POWER SWITCH ON OFF TV

But add it up across the nation and itвЂ™s a more significant, and unnecessary, waste of power.

POWER SWITCH ON OFF TV

On its own, having your TV on standby wonвЂ™t cost the earth, even on your ever-inflationary electricity bill.

Thankfully, weвЂ™re not talking vast amounts of power being consumed when in standby вЂ“ our TV tests show itвЂ™s often much less than the 1.5 watt maximum recommended by the Energy Saving Trust. Without a proper power button the best you can hope for is to put your TV into standby or power-saving mode, but it will still be consuming electricity.ДЄlternatively youвЂ™ll need to fumble around on the wall behind the telly for the mains socket switch, or if itвЂ™s particularly inaccessible you could invest in a remote control socket adaptor.

How do you turn off a TV with no вЂoffвЂ™ button, then? The terribly simple answer is that you canвЂ™t and you donвЂ™t. It reminds me of the old joke: My dog has no nose. I know someone who recently bought a TV with no power button. Why is there a growing trend for TVs with no on/off switch? A switch doesnвЂ™t cost much to manufacture, can be placed on the side for the sake of appearances and saves power вЂ“ so why is it so hard to come by?
