Sony has announced a new Mini LED technology set to feature in a 2024 flagship TV model, promising a display that's 1.5 times brighter than its predecessor, the X95L, with more dimming zones and reduced power consumption. The new 22-bit Mini LED driver, which includes 10-bit current and 12-bit PWM, is the smallest in the world, allowing for an increased number of dimming zones and a significant reduction in blooming effects. Energy efficiency is also improved, with a 10-15% reduction in power usage in standard mode and up to 30% in Eco mode. Details on the model name, release date, and pricing are yet to be announced.

In Washington D.C., architects Mark and Lucia Freeman installed a green roof on their home, an ancient method that provides environmental benefits such as reducing annual rainfall runoff by 50%, creating habitats for wildlife, and improving energy efficiency by lowering summertime energy costs by 15-25%. Despite the higher initial cost, the green roof offers a sustainable solution to urban heat islands and heavy rainfall, while also being a cooler alternative to traditional roofing materials. The Freemans' choice reflects a growing interest in eco-friendly home features that can help mitigate climate change impacts.
