Home Theater

Why buy ENERGY STAR® qualified home theater equipment?

Americans spend more money to power home theater equipment when turned off than actually in use.

  • ENERGY STAR qualified TVs use about 25 percent less energy than standard units.
  • If every TV sold this year carried the ENERGY STAR, it would mean nine billion pounds less air pollution.
  • Americans spend more money to power DVD players when turned off than when actually in use. When they're off, ENERGY STAR qualified DVD products use as little as one-quarter of the energy used by standard models.
  • You can find the ENERGY STAR label on everything from standard TVs, to HD-ready TVs, to the largest flat-screen plasma TVs.
