How Long Will a Power Station Run a TV?
By Hicham M. · Updated October 11, 2026 · How we calculate
A 55-inch TV uses about 100 W while it’s on, so a 1,000 Wh power station runs it for about 8.5 hours. Smaller sets use less; very bright or larger TVs use more.

55-inch TVs, measured
On-mode power from ENERGY STAR’s certified TV list. They cluster around 100 W, whether OLED or LED.
| TV | Power on | On 1,000 Wh | On 2,000 Wh |
|---|---|---|---|
| LG 55QNED85T | 76.9 W | 11 hours | 22 hours |
| LG OLED55B4 | 95.5 W | 8.9 hours | 18 hours |
| Samsung QN55S90F (OLED) | 98.7 W | 8.6 hours | 17 hours |
| Samsung QN55QN90F | 102.4 W | 8.3 hours | 17 hours |
| LG OLED55C4 | 103.1 W | 8.2 hours | 16 hours |
| Samsung QN55S95F (OLED) | 113.6 W | 7.5 hours | 15 hours |
A brighter picture mode uses more. Standby is tiny: 0.3–0.9 W on these models.
Watching longer
- Lower the brightness or use the energy-saving picture mode. Samsung’s own energy-saving feature works by reducing brightness.
- Add your streaming device and router: together they add roughly 15–25 W.
- Game consoles can draw more than the TV itself. Add them separately in the runtime calculator.
- Switch the station off when the TV is off. Standby is under a watt, but the station’s inverter keeps drawing power while its AC outlets are on.
