BBC R&D: Introducing the energy saving concept of Lower Carbon Graphics
- DamonHD 3y ago"A previous BBC R&D white paper showed that UK audiences listen to 58 million hours annually via DTV radio. While these audiences concentrate on the audio, placeholder 'slates' for each station appear on screen. Not surprisingly, this makes TVs the most energy-inefficient 'radio' devices. Market data also suggests that 3 million (11%) of the 27 million UK TV households own a FALD or OLED TV. As a'reactive' group of TV households, they would also gain from any LCGfx changes to DTV Radio, while the remaining 89% may also find smaller energy savings. Therefore, regardless of the screen type, any new LCGfx-style radio slates would have the potential to save energy in millions of DTV radio homes. It's important to note here that the original DTV slates were designed in an era of mostly non-reactive TV screens, which reduced brightness by filtering an 'always-on' light. ..."

At the same time I am worried if this is hyped and taken to extreme ( as with every technology trend ) every graphics will now be "Low Carbon design" and only showing grey or dark colours. Along with going for something better than current 4K like 6K Panel or 120Hz.
