What an eye-opener this article is regarding LCD television power usage. My home is solar powered so energy consumption is watched closely to avoid running our diesel backup generator. Interestingly, my Kill-a-watt meter reads around 67 Watts for our 20″ CRT television plus DVD player. When I let my kids zone-out on movies, it’s on a 10.2 inch LCD portable DVD player which draws around 12 Watts.

The backlight on an LCD TV uses a lot of power. On my Sony 46″ LCD TV, the backlight on the max setting (of 10) uses 100 watts more (237 watts) than the backlight on the min (of 0) setting (137 watts). My Kill-a-Watt also says my Sharp 26″ LCD TV showed a similar correlation between the backlight setting and energy usage. The Sony has a Power Saving setting which reduces energy usage to 87 watts (instead of 137 watts), though the picture is pretty dim in Power Saving mode. No other picture settings (other than backlight) had any effect on the power usage.
