The Econova has a slew of innovative features designed to help cut down its dependency on electricity. The Philips Econova LED TV has two things going for it that really stand out to me: Eco-mode and a solar-powered remote. Eco-mode cuts the Econova's power consumption to just 40 kw. The solar-powered remote means that you will never have to buy batteries for your remote control ever again.
