I've got a sony google bravia and have disabled everything I can think of, chromecast, remote start, bluetooth etc. Cannot get it under 12W when switched off. Can't believe I got suckered like that. There really should be consequences. Nobody would reasonably think their tv is sucking juice like that when turned off.

- laundermaf 4y agoHow would you even go about this though? What store will accept a return “because it consumes too much power when off?” They most likely don’t even have tools available to verify the claim. Even if you ship it to Sony, when will you see your refund?
- ljf 4y agoYes, if you took it to the store you bought it from either with a print off of the relevant parts of thst thread, or my smart plugs also show power consumption, I could screen shot that and take it in. I honestly don't think you'd have an issue at all doing that in the UK at any of the main highstreet electronic stores, or somewhere like John Lewis.
- exodust 4y agoDon't forget to check power usage after a few minutes. My old Panasonic TV from 2007 would switch to a pre-standby state initially, then to a "deep standby" after about 60 seconds when the power usage dropped below 1 watt. Regarding Sony, I found them the worst offender for standby power in my home stereo equipment which I've now replaced.
