 The European Imaging & Sound Association (EISA) has named the Sony BRAVIA KDL-40D3000 LCD television as winner of this year’s European Green Television 2007-2008 award.
The 40-inch flat screen television was selected for the accolade by an evaluation team of European academics specialising in the environmental benchmarking of electronic products.
In normal operation, the KDL-40D3000 consumes just 0.0395 W of power per square centimetre of screen area. This falls lower still when the set’s power-saving kicks in, reducing consumption to a mere 0.0141 W per square centimetre in power saving mode.
In standby (deep sleep) mode, overall consumption is just 0.27 Watts. Other models in the Sony BRAVIA range have similarly frugal power requirements. Standby consumption of most models is 0.3 W, while none consume more than 1 Watt.
“Thinking about the environmental impact of our products at every phase of their lifecycle has been a central part of Sony thinking for many years”, commented Serge Foucher, Executive Vice President, Sony Europe. “We know that consumers care increasingly about the true cost of their new television set in terms of our planet’s natural resources. This award is a clear demonstration of Sony’s commitment in this area. Naturally, we are continually developing new innovations and technologies that will further improve the energy efficiency of Sony products.”
The 2007-2008 EISA Awards will be presented at a special Gala Event on September 1st, 2007.
