I connected a simple energy meter to my old (inherited with a house purchase so don't know exact age) 720p non-smart plasma TV to an energy meter just to get an idea of its power consumption. It was pulling between 350-400W! For comparison my 10 year old 1080p LED smart TV pulls about ~90W.

That's a benefit during winters in Canada, when it's on, I don't need to turn up the heat...

This trope is getting tired, heat pumps exist.
