Be TV-Smart

a) Turn the TV off when no one is watching it.

b) Buy a model with higher star rating (5 stars).

c) LED and LCD TVs are generally more energy-efficient than plasmas.

d) Larger screens consume more electricity than smaller screens.

e) The brighter the screen, the more energy the TV uses.

f) Do not leave TVs in standby mode for a long time.

g) Position your TV so that it is not in direct sunlight – this way, you won’t need to have the brightness turned all the way up.

h) Do not clean the screen panel with wet cloth or when it is ‘on’.
