Not entirely. My Sony 21" CRT TV (circa 1990) uses 20W when in standby. As far as I can tell, the only thing running is the IR receiver, and the red light on the front to say it is in standby (it sounds like it powered down the CRT). Push the physical power button on the front and it drops to 0W. I've got in the habit of turning it off now. My oldest computers which are still useful (early 2000s) use about 6W when shut down, and about 12W when in deep sleep. Modern ones are more like 1W and 2W for the same states. -- David Empson dempson@actrix.gen.nz
