Power use
Based on the power usage when being viewed and in standby and the presence and effectiveness of power-saving features such as a light sensor or radio screen blanking. Power usage can vary massively. Large 42-inch plasma TVs use about twice as much power as 32-inch LCD TVs. But even larger screen LCDs are more energy efficient than power hungry plasmas.
Switched on
To meet Energy Saving Trust requirements this should be below 250 Watts. Power consumption can range from under 100 Watts for a 32-inch LCD to over 400 Watts for a 50-inch plasma. We take into account screen size ratio when making efficiency ratings. Measured during normal operation in 16:9 mode using optimum picture settings.
In standby
To meet Energy Saving Trust requirements this should be below 1.5 Watts. The best TVs consume as little as 0.2 Watts. Measured after 10 minutes of switching to standby unless initial measurement is already <1 Watt.
Light sensor
The best ambient light sensors can cut power use in half.
Overall versatility
Overall rating for number, functionality and versatility of features.
Scart inputs
Based on number and functionality of Scart sockets. Those that carry the highest quality RGB video signal and support widescreen switching signals score better.
HDMI inputs
Based on number and functionality of HDMI sockets. The most versatile support 1080p/24 HD signals, computer display resolutions and widescreen switching signals.
Audio inputs
Based on number and functionality of audio outputs. The most versatile TVs boast stereo and digital surround sound outputs plus headphone sockets.
