Is it a QLED tv? Those are very efficient with the backlight power. QLED only have a blue led backlight and the “quantum dots” in the panel between the backlight and the LCD panel absorb the blue light and emit the red green and blue needed to create the full color spectrum.
How many nits of brightness does it produce? I’d check for the specific model on RTINGS. It won’t help OP much if the TV is efficient, but so dim that it’s unusable in their case.
Reflectivity also helps with brightness when viewed in a bright room. The less reflective (matte) the less brightness the TV needs to overcome distracting light sources reflecting on the screen.
Mine warns me when I turn brightness up etc, that this will use more power. Have to click OK on it. Was pretty annoying in the first days while getting the settings right for me.
Just google the specific TV and look at the specs on the company website, it should be listed.

I would check two things:

It’s also like how cars calculate mileage.
Got brightness down as far as it goes and volume basically muted.
So could it be rated that low? Sure.
But would it actually only use that much? Nope.

Mine does the same but it says I’ll strain my eyes lol
