As much as we love swish new technology, we are fully aware that energy guzzling machines can do damage to the planet.So, you appreciate out interest in Samsung's latest LCD TV which the firm has suggested is the 'greenest' on the market.
Currently only a prototype, the 52V features a 50-inch screen with a 100,000:1 contrast ratio, despite being just 29 millimetres thick at its widest part.
Sharp has claimed that the prototype telly only uses 140kWh of energy per year, based on it being used for 4.5 hours a day screen time, which puts its power rating at around 85-watts.
What's more, it weighs approximately 25kgs, which is about half the weight of its counterparts.
In a statement, the company said: "The shift to digital broadcasting continues to advance around the world, and in this environment, demand for LCD TVs is growing rapidly on a global scale.
"Outstanding features such as thin profile, high-resolution image display, and low power consumption make LCD TVs attractive both as primary televisions in living rooms and as personal TVs in private spaces."
