TV Power Saving Tips

Even if you don't have a futuristic or "green" TV, there are
still several things you can do to lower the energy impact of
your TV:

* Power down the TV completely when you're not using it.

* See if your TV has some kind of power saver mode.

* Disable any "Quick Start" option that leaves the TV in
standby mode as default.

* Manually dim the intensity of the backlight. The
easiest way to do this is through the contrast and brightness
controls.

* Watch TV in a dark room. It improves picture clarity
while requiring less backlight.

You can also unplug the television or turn off its power
strip to prevent the TV from consuming more vampire power --
the electricity the TV stores to power on more quickly when
you turn it on.
