From Green Right Now Reports
The modern consumer’s penchant for buying the latest electronic gadget has certainly contributed mountains to landfills worldwide and led to other ecological sins, from chemical leaching to demand-driven, warp-speed obsolescence of products.
But the electronics industry once again showcased several eco-conscious items at the recent Consumer Electronics Association tradeshow. Aside from lower energy TVs, the newbie offerings foretell of a world where we will control the power we use, much like we control personal electronics now, but with more precision and far less waste.
Here’s a look at some of the most intriguing green offerings:
A 52” LED LCD TV by Sharp that consumes less power than any LCD TV on the market. In fact, Sharp’s LE700 series of full array LED LCD-TVs beat out competitors in all screen size classes for power consumption.
These TVs include sensors that measure the ambient light in the room and adjust color and brightness, delivering the appropriate picture for the setting, and saving energy.
The LEDs have a listed life of 100,000 hours, and the screen can be viewed from 176 degrees. See more on the TV’s specs page. The 52-inch version is available for around $2,300.
