Environmentally aware with Metz

Natural resources are fi nite, and every year energy costs rise and increased burdens are placed on the environment. That is why Germany’s environmental regulations are so strict. But Metz is ready and willing to meet these challenges by responsibly manufacturing durable, German-quality products. Metz has always placed great importance on environmentally sustainable production with minimal transportation and intelligent, energy-saving ideas that distinguish between reductions in primary energy consumption (producing the appliances) and secondary energy consumption (energy used by the appliance).

 



The advantages of integration

Integrated Metz televisions use less energy and resources than would be required to run multiple separate units performing the same combined function (e.g. satellite receiver, hard disk recorder (PVR), etc.). This is because a Metz LCD TV brings together the capabilities of several devices in one, thus saving energy and natural resources. These savings in energy consumption mean that we also make a significant contribution to reducing CO2 emissions. In real terms, we can eliminate the need for a wide selection of external devices by integrating receivers and modules ranging from DVB-C and DVB-T tuners to satellite  tuners and hard disk recorders (PVR). This in turn lowers primary energy requirements, as we can dispense with superfluous unit housings, wiring and numerous plastic components. And we achieve all this whilst still providing increased user friendliness, since everything can be operated with a single, integrated remote control. Metz LCD TVs’ modular construction concept also helps reduce energy consumption if ever the unit needs to be repaired. Ideally, it should be possible to carry out the repair at the customer’s home or, if not, at a dealership nearby. Furthermore, Metz also makes a key contribution to reducing primary energy consumption by manufacturing products exclusively at our Zirndorf site in Bavaria. Metz is one of the few companies to manufacture their television housing on site, keeping transport costs during production to a minimum and avoiding placing additional strain on the environment.



Automatic adjustment to ambient brightness

It goes without saying that Metz TVs are also equipped to save energy in everyday use. Therefore, it makes sense to activate the “adapt to ambient brightness” setting. Activating this feature will let the LUX automatic contrast continually adjust the screen to suit the ambient brightness, taking care of both your eyes and your wallet. Energy consumption is reduced by up to 50% with no reduction in picture quality. Metz even thinks carefully about the design of TV housing, and is one of the few manufacturers to give you a genuine on/off switch. This means that the television is completely isolated from the power supply by a mains switch, preventing energy consumption while it is turned off.
