Meet The 2008 Eco HDTV From Philips

Although the product I want to tell you about today should become available to the public in March, I have to tell you about it now. The reason? Well, at this year's CES, held in Las Vegas, Nevada, Philips grabbed the "Best in Show" award from CNet with their 2008 Eco FlatTV 42PFL5603, and since the Eco series is a very interesting choice as your new living room LCD HDTV, here you have it!

The winning LCD TV from Philips was designed to include several power saving features (that's obviously one of the reasons for including "Eco" in the name, apart from incorporating lead-free and flame retardant materials, as well as being shipped in a recycled materials-made package), such as the Philips proprietary dimming technology that lowers the display's backlight intensity to reduce power consumption, but without affecting image quality.

Unfortunately, no specific technical details are available at this time but, as I already mentioned, the Philips 42PFL5603 is scheduled to start shipping in March, for a suggested retail price of $1,399.
