Fujitsu U-turns on TV power consumption figures
Fujitsu has been forced to make an embarrassing U-turn over the specs for a flagship 63in plasma screen, after an eco-site calculated it would cost more than £600 a year to run. Fujitsu originally said its 63in P63XHA40 plasma screen consumes 1,806W in its technical specification sheets. Using this data, energy conservation website Sust-it worked out how much it would add a household's annual electricity bill. The big TV costs £8,699 to buy and following Sust-it's revelations Fujitsu revised the power consumption to 605W, resulting in yearly running costs of £209. In a statement Sust-it said: "This still seems a high price to pay to for watching your favourite TV programmes. Fujitsu blamed the published errors on technical issues regarding voltage conversions from 100v to 240v." Ross Lammas, Sust-it site owner, told PCW: "If manufacturers could bring out lower-consumption screens it would be a lot better." The figures are based on six hours a day usage, 365 days a year and energy costs of 15.8p per kilowatt hour, although Lammas admitted energy costs can be lower.
