Because your power is billed in kWh. Figuring out the kWh cost of a 77 watt TV is straight forward, but a lot of consumer labeling standards are about quick and easy side by side comparisons as opposed to perfect application of units. Easiest way to give a comparison that’s accurate enough and doesn’t involve odd numbers is to convert that way.
I am glad someone else has noticed this. Why is my TV’s power consumption reported in kWh/1000 hours?

Urgh. There’s a unit for that, it’s WATTS. That’s literally 77 Watts.
Honestly that’s the most aggravating part.
Yea but people are idiots.
