eco-friendly LCD computer monitors from NEC, LG, DELL, LENOVA
October 12, 2008 – 11:53 am‘Going Green’ seems to the new mantra for IT product manufacturers these days. If you go in the market searching for eco-friendly LCD computer monitors, you will surely find models from well-knows brands such as LG, Lenovo and Dell.
NEC also announced its new EA line of eco-friendly monitors. Two models of the same were shown to the press recently: the 24-inch MultiSync EA241 WideScreen display and 19-inch MultiSync EA 191M standard format display.
According to the nomenclature policy regarding its 26-inch EA 262WM and 22-inch EA221Wm, NEC has registered the new models as EPEAT Gold and Silver, respectively. Such registration requires the displays to be energy-star compliant, which means they are designed to prevent greenhouse-gas emissions.
Both of the NEC models have a unique ECO mode. In this mode, one can significantly lower the power consumption and thereby the amount of waste heat that gets released in the environment. Each display is also equipped with a meter for carbon footprint which dynamically calculates and tracks the carbon savings.
Some of the features of MultiSync model include: up to 1920×1200 native resolution, new intuitive cabinet design, dynamic video modes for most-optimized image quality. The drive doesn’t sport a separate power switch and actually turns off automatically after a while, when not in use.
