Although LED and OLED technologies have significantly improved energy efficiency per inch, larger screen sizes, higher resolutions (4K and 8K), and <em>Smart TV<\/em> features mean televisions still account for a substantial portion of daily household energy use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though European regulations mandate that modern TVs draw less than 0.5 W in standby mode, connected peripheral devices\u2014such as set-top boxes, soundbars, and gaming consoles\u2014continue to draw <strong>phantom power<\/strong>. Completely powering off or disconnecting entertainment centers when not in use prevents cumulative energy waste throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"289\" height=\"303\" src=\"https:\/\/wp2.rinconeducativo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/ordenador.png\" alt=\"La televisi\u00f3n y el ordenador\" class=\"wp-image-5957\" title=\"La televisi\u00f3n y el ordenador\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Computers and Peripherals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Computers are now essential tools for both remote work and home entertainment.
