warnsey1 Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 G'day all, Well my wife and I are embarking on building a new sustainable designed house which will use totally off grid power supply. As such, we would like to have appliances that use as little power as possible. I have the most important aspect (the stereo gear) sorted however a new tv is on the cards. Now the obvious is a tv that has some form of LED integration. So far the options seem to be The Sharp Aquos 46" LED Samsung Series 6 46" LED Sony NX700 46" (don't know if this is out or not) Any comments on these or other recommendations?

warnsey1 Posted April 30, 2010 Author Posted April 30, 2010 Thanks, I have not considered a smaller tv, as my aim is to still have the luxuries of a modern 21st century house by using well considered choices and designs.
diesel Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 So I presume you are looking at Solar PV for power supply? That's a fair few panels required and some expense. How are you going to watch TV at night?

How are you going to watch TV at night? G'day, It is an off grid system, which means that there is battery back-up. Panels charge batteries during the day, and batteries are used at night. Cheers

Perhaps a telescope and a neighbor that leaves the curtains open at night to expose his flat screen?
warnsey1 Posted April 30, 2010 Author Posted April 30, 2010 Impressive. Do you have a building blog? Would be interesting to see a house like this Here is a few posts I've been making on stereo.net that show the land and plans. House project
purpleninja Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Very impressive. It's amazing that you can build a place like that with so much space and yet be so close to work.
