Even an 80” tv only uses around 150W, if my research is correct. Surely this must be thinking about massive displays.

If you’re gonna release a new standard, may as well have the headroom for future growth so it’s not outdated too soon in the future.

Your research would be incorrect

Yeah it was a quick google search. Do you have better numbers available?

Most manufacturers only list average power draw, but in HDR mode you can get much higher peak power useage.

This website also lists peak power draw for many TVs, in this example the Bravia 9 85 inch has a peak of 380W

Now you can use one cable for two 80".
