Power saving in standby mode: with Sharp's new LCDs
Environmental protection starts in our home, and even your living room appliances can play an important role in this. All Sharp LCD TVs on the market have less than 1 watt of standby power.
For LC-XL2E and LC-X20E series devices, this value is below 0,5 watts. Most of these devices have an eco mode and an automatic Optical Picture Control light sensor that adjusts the backlight intensity to the ambient light conditions.
Size, design, technological equipment, and environmental protection are all important considerations for Sharp in the manufacture of its products. This is well reflected in the stunning standby values of the latest LCD TVs. The power requirement of less than 1 watt speaks for itself. The slim-line LC-XL2007E and LC-X2E series televisions, unveiled at IFA in 20, require only 0,5 watts of standby power.
The eco mode found in several models is another way to save energy. This energy saving mode can be activated at the touch of a button or using the remote control. The current power values reflect the advantages of the function: for example, in eco mode, the LC-37AD5E saves about 30 percent energy compared to normal mode.
OPC stands for Optical Picture Control. The automatic brightness sensor is included with all AQUOS LCD models. This technological solution further reduces the power consumption of the television's LCD display. The sensor measures the intensity of ambient light and adjusts the monitor backlight to this value. In the dark, the device automatically lowers the brightness and consumes less energy.
Over the past two and a half years, many Sharp LCD TVs have earned the “organic name”. In 2005, Sharp Television was the first flat-panel device to receive the European Community’s special environmental recognition, the EU eco-label. More than 40 Sharp LCD televisions proudly bear this title. In order to qualify for the EU eco-label, requirements such as low power consumption during operation and standby power consumption of less than 1 watt must be met in advance.
