Santa Fe Springs, CA — Westinghouse Digital Electronics, one of the top LCD manufacturers in the U.S.*, kicks the concept of “going green” up a notch with its new SK-26H640G 26” ultra-green LCD HDTV that saves power and money. Westinghouse’s greenvue™ LCD HDTV provides up to a 20% power savings over the Environmental Protection Agency’s requirements and Department of Energy’s Energy Star 3.0 specification standards for power consumption. Westinghouse’s more efficient greenvue HDTV can help consumers reduce their overall power consumption. All new 2009 Westinghouse LCD HDTVs are Energy Star 3.0 compliant or better.
Rey Roque, Vice President of Marketing at Westinghouse Digital Electronics, said, “Westinghouse is always working to ensure that its LCD displays go above and beyond industry standards when it comes to recycling and environment. The entire 2009 Westinghouse family of LCD HDTVs are Energy Star 3.0 certified and our new greenvue 26” LCD HDTV delivers 40% lower power consumption than our 2008 26” LCD HDTVs. Westinghouse is dedicated to providing consumers with energy efficient LCD display products without charging a premium. We believe that all consumers should have the opportunity to help make an energy savings impact to support the environment.”
The greenvue packaging process is eco efficient. The product box is made of recyclable materials and uses soy based ink, while the distance between the packaging and product factories is only 6.2 miles, which helps to reduce overall product transportation
The SK-26H640G comes in an attractive black color cabinet and features a sharp 720p resolution and a quick 5ms response time that is ideal for PC and online gamers. With two front firing, built-in speakers and multiple HD inputs, including two HDMI, the SK-26H640G is the perfect HDTV for any multimedia enthusiast. Westinghouse’s DayBright™ panel technology ensures stunning daytime or nighttime viewing.
The Energy Star 3.0 standard tests TVs in “power on” modes versus “standby” modes, which was the case with prior specifications and standards. In order for a TV to meet Energy Star 3.0 specifications, it must operate at or less than strict energy wattage output rates. For example, a 32” LCD HDTV must operate at no more than 121 Watts in the On Mode and a 42” LCD TV cannot operate at more than 208 Watts in the On Mode. As a result of less energy and wattage used, the TV’s overall power consumption is drastically reduced.
The SK-26H640G is available now at $349 MSRP.
