Flat screen goes green

Just found out about the new "Eco TV" from Philips- a 42 inch flat panel LCD with 1080p resolution, that promises to sip rather than guzzle electricity. It's getting decent review on the gadget sites (CNET named it it's pick of the Consumer Electronics Show 2008), although some complain about it's lack of some of the bells and whistles (I think it has plenty, but I don't use a cable card anyway). Retails at about $1400, it is supposed to use less than 100 watts of power (less than a freaking lightbulb). It's energy star qualified, packed in recycled packaging, and meets RoHS standards (meaning it has low/no levels of some dangerous chemicals in it, like lead, mercury, etc).

A nice choice if we didn't buy a flat screen last year while I was on bed rest...
