Starting next year, televisions will bear yellow-and-black
EnergyGuide Labels so that consumers can compare the estimated energy costs of
various makes and models. These removable labels have long appeared on
appliances such as dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, and washing machines.
In the past, most TVs used cathode ray tubes (CRTs) to
display images. These vacuum tubes limited television sizes and energy usage.
Now, however, a host of new display technologies, such as plasma, liquid
crystal display (LCD), and light emitting diode (LED) backlit, offer consumers
new choices in TV size and energy cost.
Will you check the EnergyGuide Label when you buy your next
TV?
