I wonder what the use case is for 480W though. Gigantic 80" screens generally draw something like 120W. If you're going bigger than that, I would think the mounting/installation would require enough hardware and labor that running out a normal outlet/receptacle would be trivial.

In HDR mode they can draw a lot more than that for short peaks

My 50" 1080p LCD draws over 200w...

Headroom and safety factor. Current screens may draw 120w, but future screens may draw more, and it is much better to be drawing well under the max rated power.

Most OLED HDR TVs peak at over 300W.

Sound for an 80" screen? Not for home systems.
