TLDR is that the poster above saying that you'll get zero calories is basically right. Almost all substances have potential energy, but your body can only process useful energy from food. The materials in a TV have staggeringly high levels of unusable calories.
Disclaimer: Not a nutritionist. Don't eat a TV.
Let's say it was a 25" flat screen TV. Now let's say the TV weighs about 7kg.
Glass: 2.8kg. 56,000 total calories, 0 usable calories.
Plastics: 2.1kg. 48,000 total calories. 0 usable calories.
Metals: 0.7kg. 15,000 total calories. 0 usable calories.
Electronics: 1.4kg. 28,000 total calories. 0 usable calories.
Undesirable ingredients garnish your TV fine dining experience: Glass. Lead. Mercury. Beryllium. Also, as somebody who works in electronics, I can attest that many modern devices use capacitors that hold charge for days, even weeks after being turned off, these are super spicy and can give you a nasty shock or worse.
So, in a nutshell. No calories of any use, a pain to log on MFP: just a sore belly, poisoning, death.
