We have here LED tv system today, so power consumption is a lot less than those traditional units, even traditional TV was around 100W average, I believe, but LED models can get to that power consumption in fairly large size.
In US TV size has been larger typically than in our country, so there power consumption of TV has been probably higher. 32" is large TV here, when CRT was common typical sizes were 20" or even less, first Flat panels were not larger than 23" from those typically sold, but I guess in US those were used at toilet if even there, so there can be bit of difference in power consumption.
I have 27" computer screen now, no TV at all, but this screen is bit larger than typical, good for my old eyes and has LED technology, so power consumption is not very huge for this size, with laptop + 27" monitor it is around 100W and as laptop is around 40W that is 60W for monitor, should be around same for similar sized TV, which should be fairly easy to produce by pedaling.
Even modern Plasma models should use relatively small amount of power, but don't know much from those, it might be that they stop making those as people buy so little of them, there was news about sales being less than 50% from what one large manufacturer was hoping to get.
