How does a dedicated frame device save power over a generic TV display? Doesn't it boil down to the same underlying parts?

A TV will likely have multiple inputs like HDMI, USB, Cable, etc and hence presumably more parts, more complex board and higher power needs.

I might be wrong, but that's an assumption.

A 'feature' of the Samsung TV that copes with this is that it has a motion sensor and turns off when no one is around. Would love an open hardware version of this.
