Fujitsu Siemens' ultra green LCD monitors

Juniper Foo | Nov 13, 2007

With the call to leave a lesser carbon footprint on this fragile earth of ours, it's great news to hear that Fujitsu Siemens (not a brand we'd typically associate with LCD monitors) has developed a prototype 22-inch LCD monitor. What's different is this incorporates solar panels which work with a capacitor and special relay to cut power usage when on standby.

In fact, it can reportedly operate in in zero consumption mode for five days on standby, and when active, like a miserly Scrooge, sips just 0.6-0.9W of electricity. It's exciting enough to keep a watch out for, and certainly doesn't hurt the pocket when one gets the utilities bill in the mail.

Word is the company's also looking to implement its green tech into TVs, with the PC monitors slated to be first out by Q2 of 2008.
