If also represented not at CeBIT, Sony of these days presents yet new products that fully lie in the trend of “GreenIT” this year’s CeBIT. With the Sony BRAVIA WE5 eco TV one shows a model, which is to save energy not only by a motion sensor.

As the environmental performance of products plays an increasingly important role in the purchasing decisions of consumers, the entire New Line-Up of the BRAVIA LCD TV is to consume less power. According to Sony, the new 40-inch W5 series devices such as the need on average 131 Watts in the”home”. This should be less power as the W45 previous series a 35 percent. The eco’s new flagship, the WE5, required claims on average only half as much energy as Sony devices that have come on the market in 2008.

In addition, the new S5-, V5, W5 and E5 series offer tools which should help to reduce power consumption. All new Bravia TVs can be programmed so that they independently switch after an arbitrary time in the standby mode, when at this time, no one changes the program or the volume. So to avoid that the TV is running all night, for example, if the user is asleep. A light sensor brightness of the screen on the ambient light polls also, which will also save energy.
