LG Launches 'World's Most Energy Efficient Monitor' For Green Geeks
Posted by Sean Fallon at 8:00 AM on June 13, 2008
On the off chance you are looking to save a few bucks here and there on your power bill, LG has announced the Flatron W2252TE—a display that they claim is the "world's most energy efficient." Apparently, the monitor uses 45% (or around 40W) less power than traditional models. Interestingly enough, the 22-inch Flatron manages to score a 1680 x 1050 resolution, 2ms response time, 170 degree viewing angle, 250cd/m2 brightness and a surprising 10,000:1 contrast ratio despite the drop in power consumption. A price point has yet to be determined, but the monitor is slated for a UK release this August. [Pocket-lint]

they should just make all monitors green if it doesn't affect performance and minimal increase in price.

10,000:1 DFC is listed in the linked article.
Is DFC the new code-word for dynamic contrast?
If so, such facts should be made clear...dynamic contrast has its uses, but is not the same as the generic term "contrast ratio."

I am surprised at the lack of interest in such a product. Energy efficiency is the future, any company to invest in EE technology now will solidify its place in the upcoming marketplace. Not too mention... Karma... financial karma that is.

I might need like 20 of these to make up for my 108" which will probably suck power like no other.

@T3hG33k: 29, to be exact.
Kinda funny to see both ends of the spectrum in regards to LCD tech. Sharp, which should come packaged with its own power plant...and LG, which sips electricity by the teaspoon.
