Mitsubishi Energy Usage Details & Eco-Friendly TVs

Apparently traditional HDTVs can use 450 watts of electricity, whilst the Laser TV will use less than 200 watts of electricity.

But when you think that old TV's now I mean the really old cathode-ray TVs used to only use about 75 watts it proves that there's still some way to go.

At least we get the electricity details. Check this "Beko 15 inch Eco Friendly TV" from Woolworths - how is it "Eco friendly"? It says "low energy consumption" but how low.

So it looks like the 65" Mitsubishi Laservuew will be with authorised stockists in the USA for the third quater of the year whilst the 73" model will arrive afterwards.

It may not be the best time for new, high-cost, home entertainment to come out, but I expect they've committed a lot to the project so they may as well go ahead.

But they should be able to play the "green card" as they reportedly use half the power of traditional HDTVs.

And they could also play the "quality card" as it'll knock the other HDTV sets out of the water with its amazing picture quality.

Also check this video of an interview with Max Wasinger (Snr VP of Sales and Marketing - Mitsubishi Digital) who talks about their brand new technology and how it has twice the colour range of those old hdtv's.

The bit I loved was when the interviewer said "with all the economic constraints its great that you can save on your energy costs!" Der, if you can't afford your electricity don't spend several $1,000 on a new TV!!
