Eco-TV

Early this year, Philips Company, known for its motto "Simplicity in Healthcare, Lighting, and Consumer Lifestyle," released the Eco TV, an environmentally friendly television. Quirky as it may sound, the TV actually conserves energy while in standby mode, while most televisions consume excess amounts of energy. In addition, it has a back light that adjusts to "both the ambient light in the room and the content on the screen," according to the New York Times article where I found this information (scroll down to Eco TV). There is also a power-consumption monitor showing the owner how much the 42-inch LCD set is consuming . (That's right people, it's a really nice TV too!)

Here is a video of an interview of someone from Philips explaining how it works.


Here is a video of the TV winning an award from the 2008 International Consumer Electronics Association meeting in Las Vegas from January 7-10.


Enjoy! Doesn't this make you want a really nice quality, environmentally friendly TV?
Yeah...me too.
