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.
