Consumers purchasing large televisions, especially around the holiday season, should be aware of significantly higher electricity costs. According to analyses from comparison portals like Verivox, the power consumption can rise sharply with screen size. For instance, a 55-inch TV may amass about €377 in electricity costs over ten years, while an 85-inch model could reach €850. The report also highlights that using HDR content can further increase power usage, stressing the importance of checking energy labels when buying a TV.
