Eco Factor: The only eco feature about this glitzy TV is that it is made by using degradable and reusable components. Schaub Lorenz, a German company has unveiled this luxu-eco LCD that also sports the “World’s most expensive and ultra luxurious LCD TV” feather in its hat. This 40-inch screen is supposed to be 45% more recyclable, as it is put together with degradable and reusable components like glass, aluminum and iron. The glass being the most preferred element while the aluminum ratio is the least. I will also scrap out the diamonds on it to reuse in jewelry when this TV is on its way to recycling unit. Totally hand-made, this piece of art and entertainment can be controlled via feather touch buttons. Flaunting a tag of $130,000, I doubt if people are going to buy it for its eco-friendly feature. Coming to its techie role, the TV features a 1080i and 720p high definition resolution picture with a contrast ratio of 1200:1. The Dark Side: Apart from its bio-degradable elements, nothing is mentioned about its power-consuming feature. It would have been good news if this luxurious LCD could go on an energy-free diet. A nifty idea of generating power from those diamonds could also lift up its eco-points. Via Friday in Cairo
