Philips PFL68x5 (2020) Series

Lovely styling ; recycled and recyclable ; remarkably low power consumption for a flatscreen ; likeable pictures from all sources ; stable upscaling of SD ; decent sound

Lacks the detail, colour neutrality and motion handling of the best in class ; no Freeview HD

It doesn’t offer the very best picture quality in its class, but Philips’ Econova is a great compromise between eco friendliness and outright performance

Eco credentials ; Looks lovely ; Genuinely ingenious design ; Good all-round performance ; Brilliant remote control

Not cheap for a 42-inch TV ; No Freeview HD tuner ; Limited multimedia tools ; Pictures can be a bit noisy or processed

While most people try to do their bit, however small, to prolong the life of this tired planet, the jury remains out on whether green credentials ever help sell televisions.
