Environmentally Friendly:  

The LED backlights make it a lot easier for a big screen TV to have clearer, truer colors but to not use as much energy to power the screen. While it’s not made from recycled water bottles – yet – we are impressed with the efforts to cut down on energy consumption and the fact that Samsung has left out harmful chemicals like lead and mercury and other VOCs. While you don’t want this TV to end up in a landfill, it won’t be leaking harmful chemicals out.

But, fortunately, through Samsung’s Recycling Direct program you can avoid the landfill option. Available in all 50 states, Samsung gives you the option to take back all your Samsung-branded electronic devices. It’s available in all 50 states.
 

Energy Consumption:  

Samsung says they’ve cut energy consumption by as much as 40% - easy to believe with the LED backlights. LED lights require less energy to light up the screen and actually provide better picture than the regular LCD lights. Samsung even took it a step farther by putting the LEDs in the side rather than covering the entire panel with them. It cuts power down when the TV is on, but also helps to reduce energy consumption when the TV is turned off. No more paying for your TV when you aren’t using it.
