For all the work our industry does to implement sophisticated power management and conservation features in our chips and software, I was dismayed (and a little appalled) to read Saturday’s New York Times article, “Atop TV Sets, a Power Drain That Runs Nonstop.”
Our industry’s dirty little secret is out, with help from the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and The New York Times: For all the work we put into our products to provide advanced power management features, consumer electronics device manufacturers rarely implement them.
