for those who are energy conscious, the energy consumption of these LCD TVs appear to be not only low but reversed:
Sony Bravia 40 inch KDL-40EX401 --- 170 watts Sony Bravia 52 inch KDL-52EX701 --- 142 watts
i recently looked at the tags on back of these sets at Sams.
401: Standby mode: 0.19 W Shop mode: 146 W Home mode: 110 W 701: Standby mode: 0.16 W Home mode: 142 W
Note: the 401 model is a standard LCD/Fluorescent backlight, while the 701 model is an LCD/LED backlight, which is more efficient.
That's BS, Where do you get it from Punk?

1) What is supposed to be BS? The specs come directly from the Sony website. Also, it's a fact that LED backlights use ~40% less energy than fluorescent backlights. Our Sharp Aquos uses only 85-100 watts depending upon scene brightness. 2) Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
That response was from a person who is stalking John, not John himself. However, now you've shown you don't have the ability to understand that this kind of thing happens, and insulted someone who would (if he were really replying) have given you good advice.
Learn how to inspect headers, learn that when you are insulted by someone like that it is often the case that some nutcase is simply impersonating him/her to get their rocks off. You succeeded in making the jerk who's impersonating John feel good.
And just looking at numbers without carefully examining the underlying technology won't answer your question.
Brenda, you are being trolled, and the troll is impersonating someone from another electronics group. The real John Fields is a little rough around the edges, but a good guy. This group isn't like RARP. There are a lot of trolls on the sci.electronics.* newsgroups.
Understood... and my apologies to the real John Fields.
To PeterD: the apology stands, but reading headers doesn't mean much when you have not seen the original nym's posts before, and have no point of reference.
I am a sub-s*it. No apologies needed Brenda.
The NNTP-Posting-Host is one major clue (there are many others) and one quickly sees the differences. For example, when a known good person starts making replies that are out of character, what we do is compare a known valid post with the one that is suspect. We immediately see what's what, and then can quickly eliminate the person who is trying (poorly) to impersonate us (yes, us, as he has impersonated me, and about 10 others here...)
But if you are an infrequent user of these groups, I can see where you can get confused as to who is who. No problem...
An addition to my earlier reply... I'd suggest if you can, use a power meter (say a Kill-A-Watt device) and measure each unit you are intersted in. I tend to not trust manufacturer's claims on stuff like that. Some tend to be way off, and some update and make more effecient products over time but don't update documentation and labels until well after the units are in production!
