if you have an electric meter fitted, does a larger tv use more electricity than a small one?

Generally speaking, yes. There are exceptions because there are manufacturers that make inefficient TVs.

A 42" television will use more electricity than a 17" one, yes. That's plain logic.
But, plasmas and LCDs both use LESS electricity than the old style CRT (tube) TVs.
(By the way, every house in Britain has an electric meter fitted...)

All issues being equivalent, the bigger your television is, the extra juice it takes to run. you may no longer word the adaptation, counting on how lots larger, once you have it on, and so on. additionally the type makes a distinction. Plasmas use extra power than LCDs, I honestly have heard. in case you spot that your television IS heating the homestead, then that's a exceptionally stable indication that that's pulling a great number of power. That warmth isn't coming from magical elves residing interior that great exhibit.

A little more consumption but nowhere like as much as the older ones which were up to 300 watts plus.
