LG W2252TE: World's Greenest Monitor?

LG W2252TE: World's Greenest Monitor?

Techtree News Staff, Aug 12, 2008 1830 hrs IST

Despite claims of being the 'world's greenest monitor', LG W2252TE fails to make any real 'green impression' as it is made of, and comes wrapped in, non-recyclable, non-biodegradable package material.

In June, LG Electronics announced their Flatron W2252TE 22-inch LCD, touted to be the world's most energy-efficient monitor. SmartPlanet managed to get hands-on with it, and found its energy consumption to be 19.4 watts. This figure is less than half of what a Dell or Acer monitor consumes, which is about 45-50 watts approximately.



Expected to be available this month, the Flatron monitor carries features such as simple color and brightness tweaking via onscreen menus, attractive and shiny black bezel, and slightly above average visual quality, including the support for maximum screen resolution of 1680x1050, along with standard DVI and VGA ports.


Claims of being the 'world's greenest monitor' notwithstanding, LG W2252TE failed to create any real 'green impression', since it came wrapped in non-recyclable and non-biodegradable package material. Moreover, the plastic used to manufacture the monitor doesn't include any bio-degradable, or recycled plastic. The monitor also has non-adjustable height, and only tilts left and right.



The 'green computing' and 'energy-efficient' systems might have hit all the industry majors to improve their products and make them eco-friendly. But apart from marketing hype and brand positioning, effective implementation of 'green computing' in the assembly line would take another couple of years.
