LED TVs - The Environmentally Friendly Choice

Enjoy breathtaking, crisp TV pictures while still being kind to the environment, LED tvs are perfect for those who would like to not only lessen their own carbon footprint but also reduce their electricity bill too!

LED televisions are extremely energy efficient; the LED backlight consumes the least power among all HDTV’s with a whopping 40% energy saving compared to LCD’s and Plasmas. When you compare screens of equal size, a Plasma and LCD screen will consume more energy; over the course of a year the electricity bill for running a Plasma will be over 50% more than an LED TV. Not only are LED televisions more environmentally friends but they effectively pay for themselves as you make savings year on year.

The significant power reductions of LED’s equates to reduced air pollution from carbon emissions, the extended panel lifespan of over 100,000 hours of viewing times also saves on valuable resources as they don’t need to be replaces as often.

Other major eco benefits of using light-emitting diodes include lower heat emissions and reduction in the use of hazardous substances. Conventional backlights contain mercury which makes recycling impossible and requires safe disposal. LED televisions on the other hand are mercury-free and conform to European initiatives to restrict certain hazardous chemicals in the design of consumer electronics.
