One of the biggest users of electricity in your home is your TV set.
So if you want to go green, there's now a new kind of TV set that uses a lot less energy.
It's an LED set and the newest model by Samsung just arrived in stores.
Samsung says it uses 40 percent less electricity than other plasma or LCD big screens.
Sinclair Crabb bought one just because of that.
"Where I come from in the Virgin Islands, the electricity bill is very high. And that was part of the reason I bought the TV," said Crabb.
And because LEDs generate light they don't generate heat.
But lets face it, television is all about picture quality.
Those who have seen the Samsung sets up close say the image is nothing short of astounding.
Now the bad news. This high-end version is more than $3,500.
But they'll go down in price and don't forget you save electricity from the moment you plug it in.
