Power Consumption (8.48)

The KDL-46Z5100 has a slightly expensive upkeep. Even if you're blasting backlight, it'll only cost you $40.62/year. Even though this is slightly more expensive than our current average of about $30/year, its upkeep cost isn't grossly out of whack for its size.

The TV also comes with several power-saver features, such as the ability to automatically turn off when it senses an input has cut, or a general "power saver" option that reduces the backlight and potentially does other things.
