I wonder what this does for the lifetime of the TV. Is the the video really off? Is it just showing a black screen, but the screen is still on? Is there a difference between the two from a wear & tear standpoint?
From TFA.
"An additional benefit became apparent after we started using Blank: it significantly lowers the energy consumption of the screen.
All modern TVs have circuits that detect a blank signal and turn off LEDs to reduce the power required by the device. If you’ve ever felt heat coming off your big screen, Blank makes that go away."
