For example, my stereo used only slightly more power than the TV when it was on stand-by. I found this interesting because the stereo was using all the power that it needed to run and play my music, but the TV wasn’t exactly doing anything therefore doesn’t really need to use as much power as it did. I found this comparison interesting as it has opened my eyes to how much power appliances use when they are only on standby.
The TV and PlayStation had the same usage when on standby. I found this interesting but also predictable as when both appliances are on standby, they aren’t running any disks or displaying images. I was quite surprised at how much power these appliances used when on standby but I guess it is semi reasonable in the fact that they need to be semi running and ready to respond to the remote when the user wants to use the appliance.
When the TV is on, it uses more power than the PlayStation but not a significant amount. I found this recording interesting in the fact that a PlayStation also needs power to send the signals through the cords that are attached to controllers, but then the TV also needs the ability to present the image on the screen and send the commands from the remote to the TV. Over all it makes more sense that the TV uses more power than the PlayStation.
