Toshiba go green with more new LCD HDTV's

The new Toshiba XV range (42XV515D) features a brightness control which reduces the amount of backlights needed, therefore reducing the power consumption by 20%. Sharp has also launched an eco-friendly TV (Aquos D65E) which is only 0.9mm thick and consumes less than one watt of power on standby, as well as using less power when active with the unique Eco mode. It seems that many of the technology giants have gone green at IFA this year and working together to save the environment.

Toshiba new Portege R500 Notebook series is also following suit by introducing a new battery which will charge up to 90% full capacity in only 5 minutes. The SCiB Super Charge Ion Battery is a breakthrough in the market and will allow users to recharge a laptop in only 5 minutes and will have a life of over 6,000 charges.
