Eco Gadgets: Sharp’s latest LCDs come with ‘Eco-button’

co Factor: LCD TVs with an energy-reducing feature.

Gone are the days when flat-screen TVs ruled the entertainment world. The present era is the era of high-definition viewing on the latest and most advanced LCDs and plasmas. Enhancing this technology came with a huge cost. Not just the high costs of these displays, but the high cost of electricity and the impact it has on the environment.

Sharp has tried to experiment with new ways by which energy consumption of these displays can be reduced without showing its effect on picture quality and has come up with a new AQUOS DH77 Series, the latest range of full HD LCD TVs with 100Hz technology. The TVs feature a new “Green Eco-Button” on the remote control that lets environmentally-conscious viewers reduce the energy consumption of the TV. Another green feature introduced in the TV is a new technology – “Optical Picture Control,” which lets viewers further reduce the energy consumption. The TVs will be available in 32-inch, 42-inch, 46-inch and 52-inch sizes.
