What, if any, are the bad consequences of instant on for TVs?
Do they have to sleep less deeply than current TVs, consuming more standby power?
Will they be emitting more RFI in standby? My several year old Samsung gives off quite a bit of junk in the 2m, 1.25m and 70cm ham bands when on. That almost all goes away in standby. I'd be displeased if I got a new TV, and it gave off that interference when "off" for the sake of turning on instantly instead of in 10-20 seconds.
