[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 501892, member: 28452"] My Samsung "smart" TV doesn't have a switch on the set at all. I unplug it when we go on holiday otherwise it's always on standby. Our smaller 24 inch sets have an external power unit like that of a lap-top, so are effectively on standby. The current "wasted" is negligible; it's often quoted in the literature. I do share your reservations at having something permanently live when not in use but it does seem to be the norm now. I think I mentioned a while ago a convector heater I repaired which would "fail" to full on if its triac failed. I see the vulnerability to incoming voltage transients as the biggest risk there.
