Sony Television: California Approves TV Efficiency Rules
|

|
California regulators on Wednesday approved the nation’s first energy efficiency standards for televisions, requiring their electricity consumption to be cut nearly in half by 2013.
“This is a consumer protection measure, a measure that will protect the environment and which will save us from building a massive new power plant,” said Karen Douglas, chairwoman of the California Energy Commission, at a meeting in Sacramento.
The five energy commissioners voted unanimously to require television manufacturers to produce new models that use 33 percent less electricity by 2011 and 49 percent less electricity by 2013.
In recent years, televisions have become one of the home’s biggest energy hogs as ever-larger flat-screen models have proliferated.

There has been very little information around about Sony's latest HDTVs, especially regarding their highend models.
But some very interesting information has now leaked about Sony's upcoming / prototype HDTVs, including new models in Sony’s flagship XBR range, the Sony XBR11 and XBR12!
A total of nine new series have been leaked with numerous details. There is also mention of the Sony KDL-ZX Series OLED range, but it's not known which sizes this will come in.
The flagship Sony KDL-XBR12 series features”High Range Advanced LED RGB” backlighting. It's great to see they are sticking with the local dimming REG LEDs.

Sony today introduced a new line of ultra-thin BRAVIA LCD HDTVs featuring an advanced edge-lit LED backlight and exceptional contrast ratio of over 1,000,000:1.
The XBR10-series models also deliver full 1080p wireless transmission of high definition signals from a separate media box to a receiver embedded in the TV, allowing source components to be placed out of sight.
"BRAVIA is on the cutting edge of television technology and the XBR10 series pushes the limits of industry-leading, innovative features,” said Jeff Goldstein, vice president of the television business for Sony Electronics. "Not only will this TV look striking when hanging on a wall, the wireless feature clears the clutter of components and messy tangles of unsightly wires, allowing you to hide components away across the room."

Sony took another important step on the environmental front today by unveiling a series of highly energy efficient televisions.
The new BRAVIA VE5-series models offer substantial power savings thanks to a zero-watt standby power switch, along with motion and light sensors that minimize energy usage without compromising performance.
The 52-inch KDL-52VE5, the 46-inch KDL-46VE5 and the 40-inch KDL-40VE5 models (all measured diagonally) are also the first to incorporate Sony’s exclusive micro-tubular Hot Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (HCFL). The technology helps reduce power consumption by almost 40 percent compared to the company’s other LCD HDTV models.

Sony Television: Sony May Not Meet LCD TV Sales Target, President Says
|
Posted by claudio

Sony Corp., the world’s second-largest consumer electronics maker, may miss its target for liquid- crystal-display television sales on lower-than-expected revenue in North America and Europe, the company’s president said.
The company’s 16 million units target for the 12 months ending March is “tough to reach,” President Ryoji Chubachi said in an interview with Bloomberg Television today. “We characterize the environment for our year-end sales as severe.”
Confidence among U.S. consumers unexpectedly dropped in December to a record on growing anxiety over the lack of jobs and U.K. consumer confidence fell to the lowest since at least 2004. Tokyo-based Sony said last month a “much” larger-than-anticipated deterioration in the economy spurred it to cut thousands of jobs, curb investments and might cause it to revise its profit targets.

Sony Television: Press Release: HTSA Warns Holiday Shoppers About Buying Low-End HDTVs
|
Posted by claudio
on Thursday, December 11, 2008 @ 14:02:23 EST (1499 reads)

The buying group says holiday shoppers may regret buying a lower-end HDTV.
When high demand for HDTVs meets tightened consumer spending, the result is huge sales figures for cheap brands of flat panel televisions. But holiday shoppers should be cautious when considering purchasing a low-end HDTV to save a few hundred dollars this season says, David Berman, director of training and public relations for the Home Theater Specialists of America.
According to Berman, the primary methods low-end manufacturers use to cut manufacturing costs are to remove key technologies and features that reduce performance, reliability, and service. They install lower quality processing engines, pair them with displays that can't handle a full HD signal, and offer a warranty that makes it nearly impossible to repair the TV or have it replaced, even at a reasonable cost.
