Can I Use my Multimeter to Test How Much Power my Appliance (TV) is Using?
I wanted to know if my TV actually uses only 50W of power.
If it’s possible to use a multimeter to check, how do I do it and what should I avoid?

You will need a multimeter that measures amperage.
Watts = Voltage × Amperage
I suggest using a non-contact meter like this Fluke multimeter.
Usually to use an amp meter like that, you also need one of these: https://a.co/d/d7qb5pj
But for $12 you can buy a plug with a screen that will record power usage, which would be even easier and cheaper. https://a.co/d/bj4U2hA
