Samsung TVs
Am I correct in saying that Samsungs do not have an on-off switch and are usually left on stand-by. Just switch off with remote and that's it. Does anyone have any thoughts on this.
Cheers.:) |
Re: Samsung TVs
Yep.
No actual off button. Just stand-by. I just put mine on stand-by with the remote, & leave it on at the wall socket. |
Re: Samsung TVs
Aren't a lot of LCD TVs like this though? the JVC I've got in the lounge also only goes to standby when you press the I/0 switch

Re: Samsung TVs
I have to turn my TV off at the plug because i refuse to use so much power using standby (it's not Samsung but is HD)

Re: Samsung TVs
My other half's Samsung has no off switch but the cheap(ish) Wharfedale in the bed room does. Just wish we could combine the features both to make a great telly. :erm:

Re: Samsung TVs
Yes, I suppose those LEDs and Infra Red receivers do use a lot of energy ;)

Re: Samsung TVs
Maybe not, but when multiplied by the number of TV sets in his town/county/country/planet its going to come to quite a significant number
"TV standby buttons will be outlawed" bit old now and still not much happend |
Re: Samsung TVs
Have a look on the Samsung pages and you will find that they don't use much in standby. eg my S86 26" uses <1W in standby :)
Not quite the same as old CRT standby power. |

Re: Samsung TVs
Having never hooked one up to a meter I really don't have a clue but my guess would be that they would draw very little current in standby mode unless they are very badly designed!

Re: Samsung TVs
Checked Samsungs own website and they inform us that switching the power off with the remote only puts the tv on stand by. Think we knew that!
They then state " do not leave your television on stand by for long periods of time". Why dont they just put an on-off switch in them. Strange. Dont think it will put me off considering one though. |
Re: Samsung TVs
Shouldn't put you off.
Samsungs are excellent. I got my R7 at Christmas (present to myself!), & it's bloody brilliant. |
Re: Samsung TVs
Is there any difference between a Samsung LE32R88BDX and a LE32R87BDX
Cheers. |
Re: Samsung TVs
For anyone concerned about power consumption in standby, I just came across these
Basically, they're remote-controlled plugs. Assign the plugs to a code on the remote, and switch either (or all) of the plugs off with your remote. They simply cut all electrity. Sounds like an interesting idea. Obviously, another option would be to simply switch the socket off, but with these devices you can switch off multiple sockets, and you don't have to crawl behind the telly. |

Only cosmetic AFAIK. Quick search... Dixons/Currys/PCWorld sell the R88 (& R86), while everyone else sell the R87. If it's the same as it was with the R7s, then one will have a different colour "flash" (plastic strip thing) on the bottom edge, & the location of the power button will be slightly different. My LE26R73BDX (from Currys) has a blue strip, with the power button above it, just under the Samsung logo. The R74s have (I think) a white (or maybe grey/silver) strip, with the power button on the strip. The actual specs are exactly the same. One is just a Dixons Group "exclusive" that has a slight cosmetic difference. ---------- Post added at 23:37 ---------- Previous post was at 23:22 ---------- Just had a look... http://www.avforums.com/forums/showp...8&postcount=27 Quote:
