the amount of power when any electrical device is in standby mode or asleep mode such as a computer or tv or stereo is minute to the point of it not mattering in the big picture.

i would think in theory the energy star rating would say its using less power because of the electrical components it using and how its designed with special programing vs an ol crt or tube tv.


if ya really want to know how much it maters go outside with youtr tv on. stand at the meter and time how long it takes for it to turn one full revolytion. then go back in and turn it off. and recount the revolution. it amazing how some electrical devices will pull more jusic ethan others not based on size but rather its components.
