How to reduce power consumption in standby to 0.2w

[bodrake]

My KDL32EX503U currently uses 5w in standby mode   which is way off the 0.2w advertised. I have checked auto start  and it is off. Are there any other settings that need adjusting to get nearer 0.2w ?

Hello Bodrake,

                         This is one of 2 things, you are either measuring when the TV is in active stand by or the most likely issue is measurement method.

Some instruments measure V*I and automatically uses this measurement as the power consumption. The problem is in standby the Voltage and current are out of phase and therefore a power factor has to be applied.

There are meters available that do take the power factor into account.

Hope it helps.

Hi  Pcadjb,

i have taken more measurements and initially standby uses about 25w  and then it drops down to 5w but never goes any lower.

My method of measurement was just using a standard electricity consumption meter. I only noticed it was using so much when i unplugged the tv for decorating. I have another older sony 32 inch LCD tv , and when this is in standbythe consumption meter does not register any consumption(it only registers whole watts). I wonder if the new TV has some kind of fault. It would be interesting if somebody else could do a similar measurement on a EX503

cheers
