Don't forget that the energy ratings for appliances changed a few years ago - the new F is the old A+, a new D or E is the old A++ etc. so E is still good.

The suggestion there is that an F rating now is better than an A+.  That is certainly not the case, and I don't think that is actually what you meant to suggest.

@TELLIT01 - An F now, is the same as the old A+ was - wasn't suggesting it, it's an actual fact. A new TV rated E now, is what would have been a A++ before they changed the rating system - changed around March 2021. I've not seen a TV rated any higher than a D.

A quick look on Currys and a 43" Sony LED is rated G and 59W! 

If you're watching telly for 12 hours a day, suggest you go for a decent brand like Sony as they generally process standard definition stuff better than the cheaper tellys

I think it's worth pointing out that this graphic shows the ranges of ratings available under the old and new systems, but not the mapping between them. Taken out of context it could be taken to mean that an A+ under the old scheme corresponds to a C under the new one, but that's not so. A product previously rated A under the old rating system could now be rated F in the new one .

My electric bill alone  is £110 a month, shocked to find that our 2009 Panasonic plasma tv uses 245 watts .
We watch a lot of tv, it can sometimes be on 12 hours a day, especially in the winter.
So think it’s time to change to an LED Smart tv, wanting a 43” one.

is there such a thing as an energy efficient TV ?,  best I seem to be able to find is an E

If you go on retailers website and click Product fiche, on there you should be able to see kWh/ 1000h.That will give expected usage.
If my maths is correct you could be in line to save up £190 per year on your electric bill.

Probably take 10 years to save the cost of the tv

If you google Sony Bravia 43 inch, there is one at £1200 ( no idea why so expensive) , but most are around £450. You can but 43 inch TVs from other manufacturers at half that price.

Translation: I realised I exaggerated before, so googled and gave the highest price i could find in the hope no-one would check

Your TV won't use 245 watts all the time - only when its showing a full white screen.  Otherwise demand will reduce - its probably more likely sat around the 180 watt mark.  You'd be better to look around your home at other appliances - generally anything that heats - electric heaters, electric underfloor, washing machine, dryer, oven.  These will use as much power as your TV in a much shorter amount of time, and an efficient model can pay off much quicker than a new TV.  Are all your lights LED?

Unless of course you're looking for a reason to buy a new TV...
