"Results from the U.S Energy Information Administration's most recent
Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) show that an average of 2.3
televisions were used in American homes in 2015, down from an average of 2.6
televisions per household in 2009. The number of homes with three or more
televisions declined from the previous survey conducted in 2009, and a larger
share of households reported not using a television at all. Televisions and
peripheral equipment such as cable boxes, digital video recorders (DVRs), and
video game consoles account for about 6% of all electricity consumption in U.S.
homes.
"Data from the 2015 RECS highlight the variability and trends in energy use
across the nation's more than 118 million single-family homes, apartments, and
mobile homes. Entertainment and information devices, in particular, vary by
age: younger households tend to have a lower concentration of televisions per
person and a higher concentration of portable devices such as laptops and smart
phones. Older households are more likely to have higher concentrations of
desktop computers."
The figures still say, though, that TVs are more popular, per household member,
than any other device. The closest rival being the smartphone. Another
interesting figure is that laptops are more popular than tablets, even among
the youngest household members. All age groups like laptops, but desktops skew
with age.
