On/off Button

[maggie01]

Well my new tv arrived but there's no on/off button. It's a Smsung. Do you leave it on stand by or keep turning off from main plug which is behind tv

[tonyav]

We just turn our Samsung off on the remote, maggie.

[Hopkirk]

We do the same as Tony.

All this rubbish they keep saying about TVs on standby destroying the world drives me potty.

Just put a teaspoon less water in the kettle next time you boil it, and you will save the electricity used to keep the TV on standby.

mine has got a button on the back, I think its red. What does the instruction book say?

[gingejbee]

Does it have an instruction manual...very often an e-version built into the set?
Our Samsung has a toggle-type control, bottom right-hand corner AT THE BACK....you curl your finger round the bottom corner and it's in a recess.
Progress, eh?

A modern TV probably uses about 0.1 Watts (or less) in standby.

Thats 2.4 wh per day or about 1 Kwh per year - about 12p at current rates.

I'd go mad and leave it in standby ...

[gingejbee]

....of course, turning off with the remote puts it into stand-by....it's not really "off".

[Baldric]

Very unlikely not to have a Power Button, check the Handbook

[sunny-dave]

If you turn it right 'off' at the plug, it will take much longer to restart each time you want to use it.

It may lose any 'smart' connections too - go mad - spend that 12p

[Hopkirk]

No Baldric, they really don't have an off button.

The button on the back just puts it into standby.

[gingejbee]

^^^our Samsung is on "stand-by" when being used, but is switched "off" at night. It starts immediately the next day and remains "smart".

[tonyav]

Just looked on the back of ours, no on/off button / switch.

[Tuvok]

what model number?

[Baldric]

Seems there is a Power Button on the TV

[tonyav]

If you mean me, Tuvok.
UE32EH5000K made in Hungary !

[Tuvok]

Reading the manual I think you're right!

Look at page 3 of this

It saya the remote turns it on/off but to switch it off at the mains if not using it for long periods!

[tonyav]

Yep I couldn't see one, Tuvok.

[Baldric]

Page 3 is not showing a remote control, it's showing a control on TV, Up, Down, Left, Right and Push

[Togo]

OY baldric. Someone found an on/off switch for that poster the other night. What happened there? I was typing up a load of vitriol and whoosh. LOL.

Sorry Maggie Don't mean to be rude, but baldric is difficult to buttonhole.

[Baldric]

Probably 'cause I'm doing other things,
didn't see that thread,
just telling it the way I see it!

[Hopkirk]

Yes Baldric, my Samsung has that up/down/left/right switch on the back.

If you push it, it turns the TV ......... onto standby.
