All Sony TV's to have motion sensors in the future?

When Sony launched its WE5 Eco TV range last month, one of the differentiating features was the Presence Sensor. A motion sensor, Presence Sensor basically detects when you're sleeping or have left the room and shuts the television off. Sony claims that this feature alone can reduce energy consumption by up to 50 percent. I'm inclined to believe this. As a person who rarely watchesTV unless I'm going to sleep, most of my TV-watching time is spent unconscious.

Now it appears that future Sony lines will have incorporate the Presence Sensor in order to become a little bit more "greener". In a conversation with Register Hardware, Sony UK's Senior Product Manager for TV's, Christian Brown, said, "I would hope it [Presence Sensor] will become a standard feature, otherwise it wouldn't have been put on there."

Eco lines are becoming tremendously popular among big-name HDTV manufacturers. Let us hope for our sake--meaning all of humanity--it continues to catch on.
