Use the TV's built-in apps instead of a separate streaming stick — it eliminates the extra 3–5W from the external device.
- 💡
Set the sleep timer so the TV shuts off automatically if you fall asleep watching.
- ⚡
Disable ambient light sensors if they cause frequent brightness fluctuations that spike power usage.
