Samsung EPP: 55" Class LS03B Samsung The Frame Smart TV (2022) + Bezel Expired

I don't know why, maybe it's the SlickDealer in me, but I have the 65" Frame and I decided to run my stats to see if your statement was true to my use case. Am I wasting hundreds a year in electricity on a 65" Frame TV that I leave on Art Mode 24/7 when not in use?

Our Frame TV replaced a 2016 LG 60" plasma. We have not watched a significantly different amount of daily hours on the television on the new TV compared to the old one. In 2022 we have added outdoor lights on a daily timer, somewhere in the neighborhood of a dozen smart bulbs throughout the home, a mini fridge, some Twinkly squares, and an additional game console as additional components that consume electricity. I may have missed a few others. (This is the difference year over year, 2022 vs 2021)

I pulled up all my electricity bills for all the same months overlapping since we got the TV, which is Oct/Nov/Dec 21, and Oct/Nov/Dec 22 and created a spreadsheet with the avg daily kwh, the avg daily temperature, days billed, and total bill price. (Sorry for the crap formatting, I tried to space it out on here and it just looks smashed together)

WITH 60" LG PLASMA
kwh/day avg temp days billed bill $
Oct21 36.1 61 29 171.37
Nov21 52.18 43 33 198.64
Dec21 97.45 47 33 360.8

WITH 65" SAMSUNG FRAME electricity bill diff year over year
Oct22 26.06 57 31 111.24 -60.13
Nov22 48.81 48 31 192.85 -5.79
Dec22 75.61 40 33 303.48 -57.32

TL;DR - For the three months data I have, our bill has gone down since replacing a 60" Plasma with the 65" Frame. I don't think I can definitively say that "Buy Frame, get lower electricity bill" for every single person out there, but I think I can comfortably say you aren't spending "hundreds a year" in electricity costs just to use it as a display piece.

Hopefully somebody finds this useful, I always appreciate the people that do a bit deeper dive on potential savings on SD.

I wasn't offered the warranty, but got a free bezel through chat. FWIW, my invoice shows that the sales rep used the promo code 2021FRAMEBEZEL to comp it. My final price with AAA discount was $925.46.
