Sony Bravia V5 TVs takes energy saving to next level

By: Peter Chubb | January 20, 2009 | 4 Comments

Sony is about to take energy saving to the next level with their new range of Bravia V5 TVs. The new televisions will automatically switch off when they sense that there is no one in the room. The TVs are equipped with a tiny sensor underneath the display; this keeps an eye on the room to make sure that there is someone there.

If all people who are watching the TV leave the room, then the Bravia V5 TV cuts power to the LCD, it will then switch back on when someone returns to the room. The sound will continue to stay on, if no one enters the room after 30 minutes, then the TV will switch in to standby mode.

This energy saving system will reduce the energy consumption by at least 50 percent during the time the display is switched off. General use of the Sony BRAVIA V5 range consumes less power than their predecessors; the new 40-inch and 46-inch draw 129 watts and 153 watts of power respectively, compared to the older V1 models, 217 watts and 263 watts, respectively.

    let me explaine this. the tv has sensors, when you leave the room it will shutoff the vision, without turning off sound. Energy saving…you know. you can only hear the voice…..you not need the vision if your next room and listening news or music. When you come back, sensors will turn on the vision. i think you get it. Sorry for my english i speek often then write. Have a nice day.
