Eco Factor: Lenovo’s new LCD monitors are highly energy-efficient.
Lenovo has launched a new range of LCD monitors that have received the highest Greenpeace rating in the category. The Thinkvision L2440p, a 24-inch widescreen LCD monitor, consumes less than 30 watts of power, which can further be reduced by reducing the brightness of the monitor.
The company claims that the high level of efficiency comes courtesy of a unique “Light Booster” technology that enables the monitor to consume half of what other conventional models do. Keeping energy-efficiency aside, the monitor also boasts a 33% reduction in mercury content and comes in a packaging made from 65% recycled materials and is 100% recyclable. The monitors can be purchased from Amazon for $317.
The Dark Side:
The monitor’s energy-efficiency is of no use if it’s being used with a gaming desktop. The company should also promote the use of energy-efficient desktop PCs if they want to see any significant change in their electricity bills.
