Might be worth finding out whether you're wasting your time. As measured on a Kill-a-Watt, my 2013 LG TV consumes 0.0 watts when on standby.

- MichaelCollins 4y agoIf you do it right it's hardly a waste of time worth considering. My TV is plugged into an outlet that is controlled by a lightswitch, so I don't need to contort myself around furniture to reach to 'unplug' it. In other situations, I've used a power strip placed so the switch on the strip is easily accessible, sticking out from behind the cabinet. Even if the power draw on this TV is negligible, I think it's a habit worth maintaining because it costs me nothing and it will save me having to reacquire the habit in the future with new appliances. Also part of me feels reassured that technology has not yet rendered me too lazy to use a simple switch.
