We’ve seen many recycling innovations but the Sony Eco Bravia VE5 series, as shown at CES 2009, is unique because the TVs themselves were made from recycled televisions.
Other eco-friendly attributes of Sony Bravia LCD televisions are that they come with a zero-watt standby switch with motion and light sensors. When a room is empty, the sensors on Bravia will turn off the television; when motion is detected, it comes back on. Of course, it can be turned on and off manually as well.
Finally, three of the six VE5 series models, Bravia KDL-52VE5, Bravia KDL-46VE5 and the KDL-40VE5 come with micro-tubular Hot Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (HCFL) which reduce power consumption by almost 40%.
In my opinion, the Sony Bravia televisions are ecotastic!
