Toshiba 20WLT56

I purchased this about 2 weeks ago and when I turn the TV off it tends to go into Standby mode (red light on TV). Is that normal or should I turn it off at the Mains too. But would I then lose all settings/or retune TV again?

Apart from that am very happy with it.

Thanks

If you turn it off at the remote then it should go into standby - most TVs go "off" when you use the button on the front.

I cant comment on your specific unit but I have never heard of a unit that losses its settings if turned off at the mains.

Unlike CRT screens though LCD/ Plasma use next to no electricity whilst in standby

Very few LCD TVs have a mains switch...any that do sometimes have them on the rear. They are designed to be left on standby but I can appreciate some people are safety concious and will switch them off at the mains.
That particular model should not lose its tuning and analogue settings if switched off.
