"Say you recently picked up a shiny new TV. You unbox it like a kid at Christmas and prepare to indulge in all its visual glory. You think to yourself, "This is 2025. TV technology is sizzling, and it's going to look amazing no matter what." So you plug it in and don't take one look at the default settings. Big mistake."
"A recent study found that enabling Eco Mode saves as little as $7 a year on your electric bill. (That's literally less than two cents per day.) Whether "eco" is short for economy or ecology, that's not a significant saving, and there are myriad ways to more effectively reduce your carbon footprint. Also: I changed these 5 TV settings to lower my electric bill. Here's why they work"
Many consumers neglect to change default TV settings after unboxing, which can degrade viewing quality. Samsung TVs commonly enable Eco Mode by default, which limits power usage by dimming brightness and reducing contrast. Eco Mode typically saves about $7 per year on electricity, equal to less than two cents per day, a minimal reduction. Disabling Eco Mode restores brightness and contrast and can improve on-screen image fidelity. To disable Eco Mode on Samsung TVs, navigate: All Settings > General and Privacy > Power and Energy Saving > Energy Saving Solution, then toggle Energy Saving Solution off. Brightness Optimization should also be toggled off in the Power and Energy Saving menu.
