A TV on standby mode burns 10 watts in standby and 100 watts while on per hour.
2. DVD player
DVD uses 7 watts in standby. (Is it blinking 12:00 all day?) It uses 12 while turned on.
3. Modem
Your modem uses 14 watts an hour whether you are using it or not.
4. Computer
Your PC, including all the peripheries, drinks 15 watts on standby and 130 when left on. The monitor is the largest energy-gulper, scarfing down 11 in standby and 70 when in use. (Turn them off.)
