13 amp plug power meter - any recommendations?
I'm finally getting around to thinking about replacing a plasma TV (not
full HD, only SD tuner) if it is too power hungry. To do that I need to estimate the power drain over 24 hours (or even a week) and guestimate how much it is costing per year in electricity. A cost of around £100 per year (say) would be a strong case for a modern LCD screen. However as the whole house bill is around £1,000 a year this may be unlikely. Amazon seems to have some meters around the £10-£20 mark. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Power-Energ...lectricity/dp/ B00E4H0L40 or https://www.amazon.co.uk/Energenie-429-856UK-Power-Meter/dp/B003ELLGDC so will these be reasonably accurate? Any recommendations? I can reuse to measure various other pieces of kit, mainly computers.
