The "night time" test mirrored the results of the family room test, 20.2W. I opened the shutters while the movie was playing to watch the watts rise. Rose up to 24W before I shut things down.
EDIT: For those that haven't read the previous pages, this is a Vizio E261VA 26" LED LCD TV and I bought it at Walmart.com.

With the 32" LG LED I got:
"The LED has an "intelligent sensor" picture mode which brightens the picture if room lights are bright and dims the picture in dark rooms.
Lights on, 65w; lights off, 25w"
On the one test I did. ISTR you have to select for that in the picture mode menu.

On the one test I did. ISTR you have to select for that in the picture mode menu. Ambient Light Sensor is the option on this TV. On by default. BTW, Picture Mode was set to movie during all of the tests. Both of these were in the Picture menu.

Mena,
I may have missed it above .... but your Blu-Ray player of course will play regular DVD movies. Did you show data with your LED TV with your Blu-Ray player playing a regular DVD too, I'm curious as to whether your combination draws more current moving the higher quantity of HD pixels versus it moving the lesser quantity of standard DVD pixels.
If I get around to it, I may do the same tests in our RV by watching the ammeter for the coach batteries during the various 26" LED screen/TV/Blu-Ray DVD/standard DVD combinations. I long ago turned OFF the auto-screen brightness feature on both the 58" home screen and the 26" LED TV screen. Driving the 26" LED TV via the laptop for RV movies, I can trottle the laptop's Intel processor to various power levels and also turn it's unnecessary (when using the LED TV) screen completely OFF - plus choose laptop CPU or laptop video card hardware processing of the ArcSoft video software - while I watch the RV's ammeter to estimate RV amp hour consumption for the various TV/movie conditions. What I do know is that for most Blu-Ray movies, I need both laptop processor cores turned ON due too the higher bit-rate.

FAR too lazy to go out and try that.  Not to mention it introduces some other variables. I'm going to do some off-the-inverter amp measurements anyways on my next camping trip (1st weekend of May) so I'll incorporate that (have to remember to bring a bluray movie with me...have regular DVD's already in the trailer).

Nice! I will say that there aren't as many INPUTS as the old TV. Easily worked around though.
