We're looking for a new TV for the living room. Since we now live in our own apartment, the electricity consumption should of course also be kept low.
Now to my problem, when I watch TVs (range 70-80 inches) there are energy efficiency classes from A (+++) to G as well as an indication of the average annual energy consumption.
Now, for example, I see two devices, each of the same size and almost identical functions. One has an energy efficiency class of G (so actually very bad) the other one of B (goes like this).
But now the TV with G 235 kWh per year has an average consumption, and the TV with class B 305 kWh. I'm really confused. I would also like to know how much of it I can handle without being surprised by the electricity bill. Of course, it depends on earnings, usage and electricity provider, but in general I would like to know whether I have to pay close attention to TV sets or whether they are not so clearly noticeable in an apartment.
As far as I know, we pay 30c per kwh at EON, but the landlord regulates that and I transfer him 50 euro a month instead of the required 38 euro so that in the end we don't have to pay a large amount.
For information, we certainly use the TV set for 4 hours a day, sometimes more on weekends. Mainly for gaming on PS4 and Sky (HD broadcasts). I'm slowly desperate which device to use.
At first I thought I would like one with Ambilight from Phillips, but the customer experience scared me off, which reported slowness, software problems and pixel errors. For all others that fit into the price scheme (max. 1250 euro) either the recessions are bad, the energy efficiency class is bad or the kWh consumption per year is too high.
Are the two devices you compared really the same size?
I found a relatively interesting article:

Apart from that, it could be that one value comes from the old label (energy consumption per year) while the other comes from the new one (energy consumption per 1000 hours)
