Please log in for more thread options I just checked my German SABA 29" CRT TV of about the same vintage. It is a NICAM stereo model, about 2x25W, and it draws around 64W real power, or 100VA. I'm still sceptical at that 600W figure. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Come on people, you can't compare crt to LCD and get any meaningful results unless they have the same viewing area, and the same resolution. Meaning they both need to be HDTV's or SDTV's. When you do a proper comparison the LCD uses far less power than a crt based TV. Otherwise consider a 7" LCD only draws 5W, compared to your 28" crt drawing 90 or whatever.
