In an effort to contribute to the Mother Nature, Sharp unveiled a prototype of a 26-inch LCD TV which consumes only 1/4 of electricity when compared to its CRT counterparts or 1/3 from other LCDs. Also for all those people living with irregular electricity supplies, this TV can be hooked to a solar panel so that they don’t miss out their daily dose of a soap opera. The product is still in testing stages and when it becomes commercially available, it will extend the idiot box benefits to 1.6 billion people living without electricity and lower power bills for us.
