The Eco Dashboard shows power consumption for dates when the TV was not in use.

There are two main reasons why power consumption might be displayed for dates when the TV was not in use:

• Inaccurate time settings
  • The TV records power consumption based on its internal time settings. If these settings are not accurate, the Power consumption report graph may not show the correct power consumption for the right dates.
  • When the TV is not connected to the Internet and is not receiving digital broadcasts, it can't obtain the correct time. In this case, the TV sets an arbitrary past time as the current time, resulting in inaccurate time settings.
  • During the initial setup when you first turn on the TV, if you're not connected to the Internet and haven't scanned for digital broadcasts, the TV may start with the time set to a past date.
  • If you continue using the TV with these inaccurate time settings, or if you connect to the Internet or start receiving digital broadcasts after completing the initial setup, you might see power consumption for dates before you actually bought the TV.
• Significant time setting changes
  • Whether the Eco Dashboard is active or not, if the time setting changes by more than one day, the report assumes power was consumed during the skipped dates.
  • For example, if the time changes from 0:00 on April 1st to 0:00 on April 3rd, the report will assume standby power was consumed from April 1st to April 3rd.
  • Because of this feature, if the time suddenly changes significantly (for example, due to an Internet connection or digital broadcast reception) after having been inaccurate, the graph may show power consumption for times when the TV wasn't actually in use.
