Energy use
How we test energy 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 depending on the type of TV. OLED TVs tend to use less power than LED TVs since they don't have backlights.

A TV with plenty of connection ports allows you to hook up lots of different devices at once. Likewise, TVs with more digital TV tuners give you more options for watching subscription-free TV.
