Power Consumption (9.39)

The Sony Bravia KDL-32L5000 does a very good job with power consumption, drawing an average of 62.6 Watts in our testing. This power draw was with the backlight turned down to a level of 6, and otherwise all settings in our calibrated positions. We turn the backlight down because we try and run every HDTV with a screen brightness of 200 cd/m2, so that our results are comparable. Under these conditions, and with average TV usage, the Sony Bravia KDL-32L5000 would cost only $12.22 per year to operate. Below are our three testing scenarios with power draw and cost per year.

The Sony Bravia KDL-32L5000's performance in this test was exemplarary, even for a 32-inch HDTV, which you would obviously expect to draw less power than it's larger counterparts. You can see below that the KDL-32L5000 put up the best annual cost amongst our comparison HDTVs, including two other 32-inch models.
