Turning off the TV when not in use may seem like a simple, ordinary task, but these seemingly ordinary actions can impact the lifespan of your TV. So, how should you turn off the TV correctly? Let's explore with Mytour!
1. Turn off the TV only with the remote
In most Vietnamese households, people often have the habit of turning off the TV only with the remote without unplugging the power cord. However, this will consume a certain amount of energy for your family and reduce the lifespan of the TV.

Therefore, it's best to turn off the TV with the remote first and then unplug the power cord on the TV to ensure that your TV is completely turned off.
2. Turn off the TV by immediately unplugging the power cord

Turn off the TV by immediately unplugging the power cord
This is a common habit of many people who believe that turning off the TV by unplugging the TV power cord while the TV screen is still on. However, if this action is prolonged and frequent, it will impact the TV's lifespan. When you abruptly unplug the power cord without turning off the TV power first, the screen's filament will be hit, causing damage to the semiconductor bulb and coil. Moreover, unplugging the plug can also lead to sparking, posing a safety risk to users.
3. Continuously turning the TV on and off
Many users think that turning off the TV when not in use and immediately turning it back on will save electricity. However, in reality, this thinking is entirely wrong. Continuously turning the TV on and off will waste energy, and each time the TV is turned off, the filament of the TV bulb is suddenly heated, increasing the aging of the negative electrode, affecting the electrical reflection capacity, and gradually reducing the TV's lifespan.
