Philips Offers Full HD Eco TV

For $1400 buy the greenest 42 inch flat screen LCD television on the market. Philips full HD set consumes less power than a 100 watt bulb when properly configured. Automatic sensors dim the screen when

the ambient room lighting goes down. In addition, the low-mercury lamp can reduce energy consumption by lowering backlight in dark areas of the screen. The set is assembled with many recyclable components and is lead-free. With all the buzz about standby power consumption these days, this television clocks an incredibly low 0.15 watts when switched off.

Of course, if the HD feature you're watching requires maximum picture quality, switch off the power saving features and pay a little extra on next month's power bill. Aside from Philips move towards a more sustainable tube, this set looks sharp and has won a CNET Best of CES award.

Oh, and the packaging is recyclable.
