...of marketing over common sense, and Sherwood fell for it.

'...claimed to use around 35 per cent less energy than TV viewing mode, so you’ll be helping the planet and cutting your bills whenever you sit and stare at those sunflowers.'

Of course, it's using a vastly higher percentage MORE than it would if it was in standby or turned off.

They can't use transflective as the colour reproduction would not be good enough for TV viewing.
