Sony has released a new flat-panel TV which it says uses less energy than normal sets without compromising image quality.
The $1,400 Bravia KDL-32JE1 goes on sale soon in Japan and will be rolled out to overseas markets later. In a demonstration the new 32-inch Bravia consumed 82 watts of energy to show a Blu-ray disc image of a Spanish city on its liquid crystal display. A comparable regular model used 125 watts of energy to show the same image. The electricity has been saved by using a brighter back light and better filtering. It is 70 percent more efficient than an old-style TV with a cathode-ray tube monitor. This means that the new "green" TV reduces carbon dioxide emissions totaling 79 kilograms (174 pounds) a year. This is about six cedar trees. Story source: theinquirer.net. |
