Electronics are getting greener, but they still have some distance to cover. Greenpeace has high standards for green electronics, so their opinion of the current application of green to technology isn’t exactly stellar. That isn’t to say that they’re pessimistic about the potential. This year’s CES Show is greener than last, and the industry is welcoming dialog. The results of the Green Electronics Survey are out today. While no one can claim a completely green production, the Lenovo L2440x wide computer monitor scored 6.9 out of a possible 10 points. This is significant since no product scored higher than 5 in 2007. Other product leaders were the Sharp LC-52GX5 television (5.92), the Samsung F268 mobile phone (5.45), the Nokia 6210 Smart phone (5.2), the Toshiba Portege R600 Notebook (5.57), and the Lenovo ThinkCentre M58 Desktop (5.88).  Pioneering new energy conversation and recycling technologies, the new L2440x wide monitor is Lenovo's first low halogen product that is also mercury free and arsenic-free and uses less power than conventional models. The Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool rates the ThinkVision L2440x wide in the gold category, making it the most environmentally friendly monitor available today.
