How much data does the TV use?

How much data a TV uses mainly depends on what you watch and which picture quality is used.

Approximate data usage when streaming:

• SD: about 0.7–1 GB per hour
• HD: about 2–3 GB per hour
• Full HD: about 3 GB per hour
• 4K / Ultra HD: about 7 GB or more per hour

The apps use the data

The TV itself normally does not use large amounts of data just because it is connected to Wi-Fi. Data usage is mainly caused by streaming apps such as Netflix, YouTube, SVT Play and similar.

The TV can also use data for:

• app updates
• system updates
• background services
• downloads
