Yeah, us males and our big TVs ... it can get ridiculous especially when the sound system is quoted in the hundreds of watts. But I'll give this one a clean call. 75W is less than the average room lighting in an American home. Snuggle up and enjoy the movie. - odograph Mon, 14 Jan 2008 20:31:57 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/efficiency/1281#comment-8957 OLEDs should be even more efficient, and simpler to make, and even weight less and take less space so it'll be easier to ship.

That's often a much more important factor in terms of total energy consumption. - Tom Konrad Sun, 13 Jan 2008 20:15:54 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/efficiency/1281#comment-8948 @weee Really, TV manufacturers are trying to make their products go obsolete to take my money? :-\ :-\ Wow, the NTSC standard was adopted in 1941 and revised with the invention of color TV in 1953. Not until 1998 have HDTV's been on sale--and they have still yet to be widely adopted. Even if you count black and white NTSC and color NTSC as two separate generations of TV technology, the Big Bad TV Companies have only managed to make obsolete two generations of TV technology in about...sixty years. As a final note, technology becoming obsolete isn't part of a vast conspiracy to take your money. It's part of the real world. That's what technology is about. - stands2reason Sun, 13 Jan 2008 17:07:31 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/efficiency/1281#comment-8941 Is how long it's used. It's obviously better if a TV is used for 15 years than 5 but the manufacturers have vested interest in TVs becoming obsolete/unfashionable within a much shorter timespan. I think the greenest houses tend to have the oldest TVs; unless the old one just broke down! - weee Sun, 13 Jan 2008 12:28:46 +0100
