Saving, cutting back, reducing bills, and energy-saving are topics at the forefront of many people’s minds. It is unclear whether that is due to the ongoing inflation or the conscious acknowledgement of energy use and consumption for a more sustainable and greener future. At Cheap LED TV, we understand the importance of ensuring we assist with both. We offer graded TVs, giving old devices a new life whilst offering a great price to go with them.
Manufacturers are constantly developing their technologies and products to reduce their carbon footprint. In addition, they are making great strides into ensuring sustainability morals throughout the whole supply chain. Of course, with the development of products to use less energy, this can also pass through to you as the owner with having to spend less on your energy bills. So how else can you save money with your smart tv?
Sleep Functions
The sleep function has been present on TVs for many years. No matter which brand or if it’s a cheap TV or not, they all offer this function. Using the settings on your device, you can pre-set an idle time limit on your TV. This means that when your TV has received no instruction for a designated period, it will automatically switch to standby mode. Whilst turning the TV off would be ideal, in a busy modern-day life, many people, especially younger children, may often forget to turn the TV off when they are finished with their shows. The sleep function can help reduce the energy usage by turning the device onto standby which lowers the consumption to over half than leaving it on.
We always advise ensuring your set time is longer than an average film because the last thing you need whilst immersing yourself in an action-packed movie is the snap back into reality with the TV switching off. If you haven’t yet set this up, it is the easiest and quickest way to reduce wasted energy and save you money in the long run.
Reduced Size Means Reduced Energy
It is well known that TVs use a lot of energy. However, with the progression of technology, this is slowly becoming less. The most significant factor in energy consumption is the screen size. The bigger the display on a smart TV, the more energy it uses and, in return, the more it will cost. Even adjusting your desired screen to 5″ smaller can significantly improve your device’s efficiency.
The Best TVs for Energy Rating
Every appliance comes with an energy rating to measure the usage compared to its output and assess its efficiency. It is measured in alphabetical stages, G being the lowest and A+++ being the highest. TVs are not only evaluated on the power consumption whilst on but the power used whilst on standby. When purchasing your new cheap LED TV, checking the energy rating of the device can go a long way to improving your household’s energy usage.
While TV manufacturers are working hard to improve a device’s energy rating, unfortunately, most TVs remain between G-E. Finding a high-rating, energy-efficient TV can be pretty challenging, but it is always something to bear in mind when browsing.
Use Subscription Services Wisely
One of the benefits of a Smart TV is instant access to all the available online streaming platforms such as Netflix, Prime Video and Apple TV. Without a smart TV, you would require additional attachments like dongles, streaming boxes and devices to plug into your set. Any smart TV will allow you to download and access these directly, reducing the cost of external components, which can cost £30 each at a minimum.
In addition, these subscription services offer month by month packages, allowing you to cut back when you need to and save on non-essential bills when finances could be tight.
Each month, keep track of what services you use and how often and consider cutting back when you are not getting the use that warrants the cost of the package. Many services may also offer a reduced price when attempting to cancel with them, which could provide significant long term savings. In addition, there could be potential vouchers available online, so it is always worth checking before entirely cancelling your subscription.
