I found out if standby mode is really bad for your TV

Thinking about this topic, I remember when the idea of leaving any TV on overnight was universally accepted as a bad idea, especially if your parents were paying the bills. Back in the CRT days, TVs consumed a massive amount of power relative to their size, and there wasn’t any reason to leave one on unless you needed help falling asleep. Worse, you increased the risk of failure, and getting furniture-sized electronics fixed or replaced was an ordeal. People older than me might remember the days when there literally wasn’t anything to watch past a specific time.
