Depending on the model of your CRT television, the power consumption can be high or low. In this practical tip, we provide you with an overview of the energy requirements.
How much power does a cathode ray tube television consume?
Many CRT televisions have now been replaced by LCD and plasma screens, but it still doesn’t hurt to know about the power consumption of their predecessors.
- The power consumption of a CRT television is generally lower than that of modern devices with the same screen size.
- CRT televisions have an average consumption of around 70 to 80 watts with a screen size of 80 cm. Consumption varies depending on the model and age, of course.
- If the TV with a power consumption of 70 watts is in operation for 4 hours a day and the kilowatt hour costs $0.40, you pay just over $40 a year for the CRT TV.
