ENERGY STAR® Qualified Televisions
Adjust your TV. Most models can be put into energy-saving mode. For example, you can reduce the backlight of LCD screens or the brightness of plasma screens.
Why not dim the lighting in your room? By reducing the intensity of the lighting, you'll feel like you're at the theatre and save energy at the same time.
Use a smart power bar. It will let you completely turn off certain devices, such as your TV and DVD, but leave others on standby, such as programmed VCRs or DVRs.
Most importantly, don't forget to turn off your television when no one is watching it!
Hydro-Québec encourages its customers to opt for ENERGY STAR qualified products because their energy performance is measured continuously and rigorously.
Every step toward protecting our resources counts: the watts add up to savings, kilowatthours turn into megawatts, and everybody benefits. And you save money to boot!
