How many Watts does a TV use - Full guide for Every User

Many people ask, “How many Watts does a TV use?” when they want to manage electricity bills, buy a new model, or run devices on backup power. Whether you are a student living in a rented flat, a working professional planning a home theatre, or a parent looking to cut down monthly expenses—understanding your TV’s power usage helps.

For example, a standard 32-inch LED TV may use only around 30 to 55 Watts, while a large OLED model can use up to 120 Watts. If you watch TV for 5 hours daily, it adds up over the month.

Before buying a new TV, check your loan eligibility through Bajaj Finserv. It helps you set a budget and choose the right model. Once ready, explore the latest TVs on Bajaj Mall. You can then visit one of Bajaj Finserv’s 1.5 lakh partner stores in over 4,000 cities to make your purchase.

TV power consumption depends on many factors like screen size, technology, usage habits, and features. Bigger screens often use more electricity, and smart functions may also increase usage.

Modern TVs like LED, OLED, and QLED are designed to be more energy-efficient than older CRT models. For example, a 40-inch LED TV may consume around 50–70 Watts, while a 55-inch OLED TV may use up to 120 Watts.

If your TV runs for many hours every day, even a few extra Watts can impact your electricity bill. Power-efficient smart TVs not only help you save money but also reduce carbon emissions.

Key reasons to understand your TV’s Wattage.

• You can estimate monthly electricity cost
• You can decide if your inverter or generator can run the TV
• You can make informed buying decisions based on usage

Knowing how many Watts a TV consumes helps you manage energy use and control bills. It also allows you to compare models before purchasing a new one.

TV Wattage varies with screen size and display technology. Below is a helpful guide.

This table helps you estimate how many Watts your LED TV may use depending on the model. Smart TVs with internet features may use slightly more electricity.

To calculate how much electricity your TV uses, follow these simple steps:

1. Note your TV's power rating in Watts (e.g., 100 W)
2. Multiply by the number of hours used daily (e.g., 5 hours)
3. Multiply result by the number of days in a month (e.g., 30 days)
4. Divide the total by 1,000 to convert to kilowatt-hours (kWh)

Example:
100 W × 5 hours × 30 days ÷ 1,000 = 15 kWh per month

Multiply the kWh by your local electricity rate to find the monthly cost.
