I'm watching this video on my computer plugged in to a Kill-A-Watt. Right now I am using 104 W for my iMac, my 20" external display, my Logitech Z623 2.1 Speaker System, my cell phone charger, my external hard drive, and a whole network of USB devices.
Forget about saving money for a second! NFPA 1, 11.1.5.1 states that these devices shall be listed and used in accordance with their listing. Also, in NFPA 1, 11.1.6.1, it states that relocatable power strips shall be directly connected to a permanently installed receptacle. Simply put, are you saying it is acceptable to "daisy chain" these devices?
hi, i have an electrical background and can tell you, yes, it still uses some power, i dont believe its MORE, but it does use power when its turned off, so you can click on the little remote and have it turn on......alot of the older tv's (lacking a remote) did not use power when turned off
It really depends on how often the TV is on. TV's store energy via capacitors. That's why it draws electricity even when it's turned off.
CRT TVs require a lot of electricity, so it uses capacitors so it doesn't take like 5 minutes to turn on. That's why it's also extremely dangerous to try to fix a TV if you're not a professional because the discharge from full capacitors will kill you.

Is it true that a TV uses more Kill-a-watt when it is turned off? I heard this on a 'green-commercial.'
