TOKYO — Sony’s new flat-panel television consumes less energy than comparable regular models without compromising image quality. The $1,400 Bravia KDL-32JE1 goes on sale in Japan on July 30 and in overseas markets later.
In a demonstration at Sony’s Tokyo headquarters, a watt-counter attached to the 32-inch Bravia showed 82 watts of energy being used to show a Blu-ray disc image of a Spanish city on its liquid crystal display. A regular model about $90 less required 125 watts of energy to show the same image.
Sony achieved the energy savings by developing a brighter back light and better filtering that delivers light more efficiently, officials said. The Associated Press
