Toshiba’s new 42″ “green” HDTV has earned PC Magazine’s GreenTech seal of approval. What makes it “green”?

The 42XV540U exhibits solid energy efficiency for a 42-inch LCD. Using default picture settings, the TV consumed an average of 195W during operation, resulting in an estimated cost of $3.89 per month based on 5 hours of daily operation at $0.13 kWh (the local average in San Francisco). Standby power consumption measured 0.4W, which when taken together with its default operating consumption rate, should make this set ready for Energy Star’s upcoming version 3.0 specification that goes into effect November 2008. Selecting the TV’s movie picture preset reduced its average operating consumption by almost half to 107W.
