A modern 32" lcd tv without too much gadgets (like wifi) could use as low
as 24W (a Dell 24" might be comparable?). Ad 5W for a RPi and you look at
~30W.
I would drive it for around 16 hours a *week*, I think (based on my current
use of a smaller picture frame), so it would cost me around €5 a year. I
could live with that.
Best, Frank.
