Samsung LN46A750 LCD HDTV Review - Power Consumption

Power Consumption (8.45)
The Samsung LN46A750's power consumption is just about average. If you were to run the TV for five hours each day and pay the average rate for electricity you could expect to pay $31.03 over the course of the year. To get to that figure we set the TV's backlight to 200 cd/m2 (candelas per meter squared), which is a decent viewing brightness for both dark and lit rooms. We also look at power consumption when the backlight is turned down to minum and maximum, see the table below for those results. You can see that backlight level has a significant impact, although this is slightly less on the LN46A750 than some other televisions we've seen.
