A new TV may use 32W to 90W of power, depending on its size.

With that in mind, estimating that a 32-inch TV uses about 32W of power would be reasonable.

For TVs with screens 50 inches and above, we recommend multiplying by 1.5.

So it wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume a 60-inch TV used around 90W of power.

If werun the calculation for your cost-per-hour, it works out to a mere 0.0072 cents per hour.

Leaving the TV on for 6 hours after work every night would cost you $1.30 a month.
