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?

    depends on you multimeter. but an eaiser option would be to get something like a kill-o-watt meter and plug it between the power source and the TV

      Depending on how well-provisioned your local community library is, a Kill-o-Watt may be something you can borrow for this exact task!
