Headroom and safety factor. Current screens may draw 120w, but future screens may draw more, and it is much better to be drawing well under the max rated power.
I wonder what the use case is for 480W though. Gigantic 80" screens generally draw something like 120W. If you’re going bigger than that, I would think the mounting/installation would require enough hardware and labor that running out a normal outlet/receptacle would be trivial.

Sound for an 80" screen? Not for home systems.

Most OLED HDR TVs peak at over 300W.

In HDR mode they can draw a lot more than that for short peaks

My 50" 1080p LCD draws over 200w…
