Sony to release energy-saving 32-inch LCD

Massive screens are not the answer for everyone in the flat screen TV market and energy conscious consumers might be persuaded to think small with this new 32-inch addition to Sony's Bravia range which is set for release in Japan.

The Bravia KDL-32JE1has a power consumption of 89W (86 kWh / year), almost halving the 160W figure specified for the company's XBR Series LCD Flat Panel and a significant improvement on the already efficient 134W KDL-32J1 series.

The unit also features (1366×768) resolution, 2500:1 contrast, 2x HDMI inputs and a 178 degree viewing angle.

Available in Champagne Gold and Silver, the KDL-32JE1 will be released in Japan at the end of July at a price of around the ¥150,000 mark (USD$1,385 at the time of publication).
