NEC has presented the first model in a new series of displays for business with a focus on image quality and environmental friendliness.

The NEC MultiSync E221W (PDF) is a wide-screen 22in LCD configured to meet the needs of users, but is also an ideal entry-level model for corporate buyers, according to the firm. Integration of Carbon Footprint meter is one renowned feature that let users monitor the environmental impact of the device.

This can be attained by switching to EcoMode, where the brightness of the display is limited to no greater than 60% of its maximum, and power consumption falls from a typical 40W to 28W.

An Automatic Stand-by mode and Power-Off Timer also allow power consumption. NEC is also claiming environmental credentials from meeting EPEAT Silver certification, which covers factors such as reduction of hazardous materials, recycling, packaging and methods of production, as well as the energy consumption of the display itself.

EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) Recognizes Apple’s effort.

The Apple MacBooks have achieved EPEAT, a US PC environmental rating organization, Gold, which is no simple task. It means that the machines far surpass the requirements of Energy Star 4.0 and the European Union’s RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substances) directive. The systems contain no brominated flame retardants, use only PVC-free internal cables and components, and use energy efficient LED-backlit displays that are mercury-free and made with arsenic-free glass.

Moreover, the systems have a modular design for easier upgrading and disassembly. A minimum of 90% of the machines’ components are reusable or recyclable — even the product packaging is 90 percent recyclable.

Apple knowing its obligation as a global citizen has made admirable strides toward greening the systems. And their products are a lot less environmentally friendly than those of other competitors such as Toshiba. A gold rating means a product passed strict criteria.

Nokia Corp., the world’s most prominent cell phone manufacturer, lost market share in the third quarter as revenues sank 30% due to descending sales and cheaper handsets sold.

Nokia repeated its forecast that the overall industry will grow 10% in 2008, reaching 1.26 billion cell phones sold by the end of the year.
