Ich suche einen Fernseher, der sich nach einem Stromausfall automatisch einschaltet und über HDMI-CEC auf Apple TV umschaltet.

**Looking for a TV that supports BOTH power-on after power loss AND HDMI-CEC with Apple TV**

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a new TV and I have a very specific requirement. **The brand doesn’t matter to me.**

I want to use a smart plug to completely cut power to the TV when I’m not using it.

I need a TV that can do **both** of the following:

**1. Automatic power-on when power is restored**

Smart plug OFF → TV has no power at all
Smart plug ON → power is restored → **TV automatically turns itself on**, without pressing the TV remote.

**2. Apple TV 4K + HDMI-CEC**

My Apple TV 4K will be connected via HDMI.

When I turn on/wake the Apple TV, I want HDMI-CEC to:

* turn the TV on if necessary
* automatically switch to the HDMI input where the Apple TV is connected

The goal is that I **never have to use the TV remote**.

I’m looking for something around **40–50 inches**, ideally **4K**, and preferably **under €250**.

The brand doesn’t matter at all. TCL, Hisense, Samsung, LG, Toshiba, Philips, Panasonic, etc. are all fine.

# Does anyone here own a TV that definitely does BOTH?

I’d especially appreciate answers from people who have actually tested it with a smart plug / complete power removal.

If possible, please include:

* Exact TV model
* Screen size
* Whether it is 4K
* Whether it automatically powers on when AC power is restored
* Whether HDMI-CEC works with Apple TV
* Whether the TV automatically switches to the Apple TV HDMI input
* Any relevant setting name, e.g. **Power On Mode, Power On Behavior, Last State, AC Recovery, Auto Power On**, etc.

I’m not looking for a TV that *might* support it. I’m specifically trying to find a model where someone has actually tested this.

Thanks!
