What if you could reduce your electricity bill by pressing a button? Imagine being able to keep watching your favorite shows while reducing your energy bills. A little-known trick might surprise you.
Screen too bright? Consumption has increased
Too bright a screen increases battery consumption
Did you know that setting your TV to the maximum brightness consumes more energy? It’s kind of like driving a car with the accelerator pedal driven, even on a flat road. You can reduce this expense by simply changing the brightness of your screen.
Most remote controls have a sun icon that allows you to adjust the brightness.

What if television goes extinct on its own?
For those who like to end their TV nights with a nap on the couch, there is one solution: automatic sleep mode. This parameter, which is easily programmable in the settings of your TV, prevents you from leaving your screen on unnecessarily all night. Not only do you save electricity, but you also extend the lifespan of your appliance.
Stunning devices: unexpected consumption
The TV in standby mode consumes little energy, but not zero. Modern TVs consume an average of 1 to 3 watts of energy when connected to power supply. Over one year, this may amount to up to EUR 3.50 per device. Does that sound like a little bit? Multiply this number by the number of devices connected in your home.
Fortunately, a multi-plug with a switch can do wonders. By pressing a button, you turn off the power supply of all appliances that are in standby mode. A small gesture, but which, according to ADEME, saves up to EUR 80 per year.
