Sony’s BRAVIA KDL-32JE1 - world’s most energy-efficient 32-inch LCD

If you’re prepared to give the 40-inch-plus range a miss and go for a smaller size panel, Sony’s new 32-inch Bravia KDL-32JE1 is one to watch. It’s not only friendly to small budgets - it’s friendly to the environment, too.

The KDL-32J1 series already packed industry-leading efficiency, with a power consumption of 134W, but the new JE1 consumes a mere 89W. That’s 86kWh/year, and half what an Xbox 360 chews through. Not bad considering how many pixels it has to illuminate.

Sony Bravia KDL-32JE1 features:

• 32″ panel at WXGA (1366×768) resolution
• Inputs: 2x HDMI, 2x component, 3x composite, 1x VGA
• 2500:1 contrast
• 178 degree viewing angle

The KDL-32JE1 hits Japan on July 30 with a price of around ¥150,000 ($1,387/€900).
