The new EnergyStar 3.0 TV specification went into effect November 1st. It includes a test for how much electricity televisions use when turned on, as well as when turned off. Even the default settings could save as much as $100 in power.
Keep it in mind when you buy new televisions. For those of us with old ones, consider turning things off.
