HDTV UK: Three of the world’s largest screen manufacturers, Sony, Sharp and Hitachi, have shown that consumer electronics corporations do have a conscious.
The three manufacturers are working together to study the development of technology that will reduce power consumption from LCD TVs.
Environmental concerns have never been higher on the agenda. Although the latest LCD screens use less energy than similarly sized CRT models, manufacturers are creating ever-increasing screen sizes with higher resolutions – which means power consumption is also rising.
The aim is to halve the power consumption of flat screen TVs by the year 2011. Technologies being studied include the use of energy saving methods for image display, and the use of LEDs for backlighting screens.

To compliment this post, there is a great article on http://www.getwithgreen.com that compares the power consumption (both Standby and On Mode) of 37″ LCD TVs. It also talks about some manufacturers who make the data a bit harder for consumers to find.
