MAKER OF EXPLODING BATTERIES, 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. µ

let's hook up some dynamos to the jaws and elbows of the couch potatoes
My very sharp 32" CRT Flat TV uses maximum about 100W.

But if it's about 'green' correct information is avoided.
