TVs Key ENERGY STAR Product Criteria

On Mode Power Level Requirements for TV Products
Tier 1: Effective November 1, 2008 Tier 2: Effective September 1, 2010
Screen Area Maximum On Mode Power Consumption (A expressed in inches2) Maximum On Mode Power Consumption (A expressed in cm2) Maximum On Mode Power Consumption (A expressed in inches2) Maximum On Mode Power Consumption (A expressed in cm2)
Non-High Definition TVs (i.e. <= 480 Native Vertical Resolution)
All Screen Areas PMax = 0.120 * A + 25 PMax = 0.01860 * A + 25 TBD TBD
High Definition and Full High Definition TVs (i.e. > 480 Native Vertical Resolution)
A < 680 inch2 (< 4,387 cm2) PMax = 0.200 * A + 32 PMax = 0.03100 * A + 32 TBD TBD
680 inch2 <= A < 1045 inch2 (4,387 cm2 <= A < 6,742 cm2) PMax = 0.240 * A + 27 PMax = 0.03720 * A + 27 TBD TBD
A >= 1045 inch2 (>= 6,742 cm2) PMax = 0.156 * A + 151 PMax = 0.02418 * A + 151 TBD TBD
PMax = maximum allowable On Mode power consumption
A = viewable screen area of the product, found by multiplying the display width by the display height

Standby Mode Power Level Requirement for TV Products

Irrespective of screen area or resolution, all TVs must consume 1 watt or less in standby mode.
