Appreciate comments regarding how warm the unit gets in standby (all tvs off) vs. switching it off using the front button.

I just checked the unit and it was not warm at all, one would think it was off but it isn't. No TV's were on at the time. Works great, I give thumbs up.

Well I keep this product up my roof space and I have had it for about 3 months now it performs like it should and I always keep it on but it seems by doing so like every 3-4 years it will burn out in have been through 2 other ones already but I decided to switch to this product to see the performance

It is the plastic heating up nothing to do with the power if we are talking about the popping noise common after the TV has been on for a period of time and continues when it is turned off. I noticed when my air conditioning turned on it became more intense b/c of the contrast in temperature. You can move the TV or turn it off a couple hours before you sleep i guess thats what i've done is turn it off an hour before i go to bed.

I have not experienced this problem with my TV. My TV is plugged in all the time and comes on/off each time I press the power button.

Hasn't done it yet. My husband has it where it turns on automatically when the TV is turned on, so it's on a lot. It's been a week since we've had and no problems yet.

I wish I could help you with your question. I should actually change my review. Some of the equipment I had conflicted with the Kinivo. I would turn on TV on and a second one would come on also. After some shuffling and changing of equipment the unit is working perfectly now.

I only turn is on when I sit on it (there is an on/off button on the side). One min or two is sufficient to get the water warm, and I do not even care if the seat is warm or not. I do not see any impact to the electricity bill: if you are still concerned, you probably need to consider hard switch all appliances off around the house.

dont buy this unit , the display on my one keeps turning off after after about one hour and sometimes less, its the front panel display, it has been returned to Jenserve for repair , got it back and it is still doing the same so dont send it there as they did not fix mine, it uses 800 watts when running and gets very hot so turn your central heating off and 140 watts in stand by .

Hi Daniel, mine turns the other outlets off several minutes after going to standby Weather yours goes off depends on the change in on/STBY current draw. -The big screen TV also turns the other outlets off several minutes after STBY (RED Led light on TV front panel still on)

You have to unplug it to shut it off. Otherwise it just switches over to the "warm" setting and stays on.

Yes, we leave ours on all the time. It takes too long to warm up otherwise. I might shut it off during the summer if I don't need it as much.

I have had one for quite a while and I have never had it enter standby. There is a standby mode you can manually actuate from the remote, and you can completely turn it off by using the power button at the unit

Hey Amit,I have had the TV for 4 months, and have almost exclusively played my xbox 360 on it. If there are any burn in issues, I dont see them! I think a little common sense with regards to setting the TV to dim after inactivity, or even shut off (mine does automatically after fifteen minutes of inactivity). Anyway, Ive had no problems! Games look beautiful on this TV, by the way.

i leave mine set to on. all my equipment is run through a panamax power conditioner, which i turn off and on as needed. either way its a fantastic piece for the price tag.

None. the only issue I have is that there are no buttons on the TV itself, so you have to use the remote to power on/off the TV.

I unplug mine at the unit. Lack of an off/on switch is a flaw of the unit.Richard

It should work for you on standby, unless your TV draws a considerable amount of current in standby. There is an adjustment which allows one to adjust the level of current that it senses before it turns on / turns off.
