INEXCUSABLE.
Why
Because yanks get their energy at such low prices that they are more worried about appearances than energy saving. After all If they need more of anything they just go somewhere and take it.
And yes, the MANUFACTURER should fit one. But it won't happen if the consumer does not make a point of asking for it.

I agree.
I also agree that Americans are to blame for most of what's wrong with the world too.

No power switch on the wall socket? Best option, buy a switched power board then.

3W is huge. My Sony S series LCD TV takes 0.2W in standby.

It's not always conventionent to scrabble round on the floor underneat things is it ?
THINK !
Graham
3W was state of the art for when it was manufactured. I'm certainly not going to fret over than when, if you'd read my earlier post the set-top-box my cable co supplies consumes 17W whether 'on' or in standy. It seems the 'standby' just switches off the front panel display and changes the colour of the switch illumination from green to red.

You might take your own advice. Try Googling "extension cord".

It's already on one ! And I can't say I've ever seen swiched outlet extensions in the shops either. Here's a typical one.
Besides, why would I want to scrabble around on the floor because the damn manufacturer was so incompetent ?

And this is your justication for Samsung NOT fitting a power switch that actually DOES SOMETHING.
I do NOT wish to crawl under the furniutre every time I want to watch TV. I have limits. My entire house is CFL'd for Christ's sake and I've had them for decades but I take exception to nit wit comments like yours making a virtue of of incompetent design.

Ditto the satellite boxes, and if you unplug you have a wait time for signal re-acquisition that is several long minutes.

You have my sympathies FWIW. OTOH they do say you get what you deserve.
IMHO the entire way countries are governed needs radical overhaul with power being removed from rich individuals and corporations and placed in 'trust' with highly qualified and non-partisan experts in their fields.
In short, being a 'party member' ought to be instant disqualification for holding office.

And the power board HAS to be placed "on the floor underneat things", WHY exactly? (mine isn't)
Because YOU can't?
MrT.
Try a better shop then.
MrT.
I have limits.
You could try mounting the power board to your TV unit instead of moaning. I prefer having one power switch anyway, even though all my AV components do have mains switches. But I will admit my computer power board is on the floor, and I've been switching that every day for years. Maybe you are simply lazy and should just ignore the small amount of power drain. Even 17W is only about $5 a year.
MrT.
Only half the population gets what they deserve (sometimes less), the rest are simply stuck with it. (even assuming the alternatives are any better, which they usually aren't)
MrT.
You want people tripping over it and injuring themselves ?
I'm having GREAT trouble how you think all of this excuses inherently incompetent product design by Samsung.
When the power switch says 'standby' it BLOODY WELL ought to use LESS power, not just change the colour of the effing LED !
Jesus, many companies could manage this simple task at least TWENTY years ago.
Graham
GO FUCK YOURSELF
Do you work for Samsung btw ?
