Anybody who owns a Samsung TV is being urged to make a simple change to its screen settings which could help to shave the pennies off electricity bills. April marked the end of the government's initiative to provide discounts on energy bills, with many households now worrying about how they'll manage to make up the difference.
And although the weather is now getting warmer and we won't need the heating on as much, the price of energy still remains high - meaning any ways to reduce the costs are really helpful. One such way to do this is to make a change to your Samsung TV's brightness settings, the Mirror reports.
Most modern Samsung screens have an energy-saving mode which automatically reduces consumption by lowering the screen brightness, turning on efficient screen savers (if you leave the display on) and even automatically switching the telly off after a set time.
This may not have a huge effect on your bills, but every little helps at the moment. "If you are looking to save on the electricity and energy that your TV uses, pay attention to the Power and Energy Saving Features of your Samsung Smart TV," the firm explains. "You can reduce energy consumption by changing your power preferences."
To activate the eco-saving mode, simply carry out the following steps:
A recent report by the team at EcoCostSavings suggested that even leaving a TV on standby can cost as much as £11 per year - so even the smallest changes can have an effect on your bills.
It's worth noting that not all TVs have Samsung's automated feature but there are still ways to cut down usage manually. For example, lowering the screen brightness can help as it'll reduce the amount of power that is needed.
Most TVs will also have an auto power off setting

William Earl Lee Cronin is very particular about blood. Cronin, the Irish writer and director of “Evil Dead Rise,” the fifth feature installment in the cult horror series, lights up when discussing gore on set. “We used 6,500 liters [1,717 gallons] of blood on the movie,” he said. “That is real, sticky, cooked movie blood. We had to hire out this industrial kitchen to cook the blood and keep it fresh, be able to heat it up, because characters are covered in it. There was a lot of management of liquid in this movie. I wanted blood to be a character, so it was important we got the viscosity and look just right.”
