LG intros power-sipping LH30FD LCD HDTVs in Korea

by Darren Murph posted Feb 11th 2009 at 11:37AM

Not even a month after LG outed its 50PQ60D and 42PQ60D Xcanvas plasmas over in South Korea, the company has introduced a trio of LCD HDTVs in the nation as well. The LH30FD models, all part of the burgeoning Scarlet series, are all presumably equipped with 1080p panels, inbuilt speakers and other modern amenities. While LG leaves out most of the details, we are told that all three sets boast a variety of picture modes, a trio of HDMI sockets and a four-step power saving mode that can purportedly "reduce power consumption by up to 70 percent." We've no way to prove or disprove that claim, but hopefully the stipulations will be spelled out more clearly when, er, if these migrate to America. As for those in Seoul, they can grab one later this month for ?2,400,000 ($1,725; 47-inch), ?1,650,000 ($1,186; 42-inch) or ?1,200,000 ($862; 32-inch).

Fantastic.

This is an avenue I really want to see all the CE corps head down, fast.

It is already informing my buying choices and I know I am far from alone in that.

The current cheap oil situation is merely a reflection of the global economy utterly flat on it's back, but, when things eventually do pick back up so too will the oil prices, even it is a while until they hit the previous highs, it's a finite resource and can only get more and more expensive over the longer term
(current type downward blips excepted).

I want lower energy consumption.
I want lower energy bills.
I want my energy consumption to reduce to offset the inevitable rises in energy costs.
