Most of us try to be mindful of our electricity usage, so discovering that a household appliance is powering itself on behind your back is incredibly frustrating. That was my exact reality with a screen that insisted on waking up every time I entered the room, quietly draining power when nobody was even watching.
As it turns out, my TV was just a little too 'smart.' Many Samsung TV models, including the best OLEDs and QLEDs, use built-in motion detection to wake themselves up, which ends up wasting power just because you or your pets happen to walk into the room.
