Don't you unplug your Smart TV before going to bed? You're causing serious damage

If you simply turn off your TV with the remote before going to bed at night, it doesn't completely turn off, but instead continues to consume power in standby mode. This affects the screen, software, and internal components. Unplugging at night improves both safety and the TV's smooth operation.

 

Smart TV Safety Tips: People often leave their TVs on at night, using the remote control, before going to bed. If you do the same, you should change this habit today. This doesn't turn off the TV, but instead keeps it on standby. This has many other disadvantages.

Unnecessary consumption of electricity

When a TV is simply turned off with the remote, it doesn't completely turn off; it continues to use power in standby mode. Even small TVs can add up to an additional ₹100-150 per year, and larger TVs up to ₹300. 

Unplugging immediately stops this unnecessary power consumption, resulting in a small monthly savings. Unplugging your TV is considered a smart and beneficial habit when it comes to saving electricity.

Protection against electrical faults and voltage problems

Most people don't use a stabilizer with their TVs, which can cause damage due to voltage fluctuations. Sudden increases or decreases in voltage at night can cause circuit faults, increasing the risk of TV damage. 

If the plug is removed from the socket, the TV remains completely safe in the event of an electrical fault. This is especially important during monsoons and winters.

TV life may be short

This mistake can also shorten the TV's lifespan. Even in standby mode, current continues to flow through the TV, affecting its internal components. 

Over time, these components weaken and shorten the TV's lifespan. Unplugging the TV every night keeps it completely off, preventing unnecessary stress on its components. This doesn't affect the TV's lifespan and increases its chances of lasting without problems.

Performance and picture quality may be poor

Like a mobile phone, periodically turning off your smart TV completely refreshes its software and clears its cache. This speeds up processes like channel switching and app opening, preventing the TV from lagging. 

Constantly being connected to power affects the transistors and pixels, which can cause brightness to fade over time. Turning it off completely overnight keeps the screen crisp and clear for the long term.
