Lets face it. There’s a credit crunch on, the planet’s in trouble and we detest lining the pockets of those Chief Execs of whatever energy company you can think of. You still want to enjoy films with top quality sound and vision though right? Here’s 4 of the best (in our opinion) low energy bluray players: 
Samsung BD-C6900 – Blu-ray disc player – Upscaling – Wi-FiConsumption when running – 14.3W, standby – 0.1W Among the most energy effient but does come with a hefty price tag of over £300
Samsung BD-C5500 Blu-Ray Player WiFi Ready Much more affordable that it’s BD-C6900 cousin, coming in at between £99 and £160 the operating consumption for this model is a very efficient 13W however the standby usage is a pretty poor 1W
Panasonic DMP-BD45EB-K Blu-Ray Disc PlayerComing in at under £100 makes this player efficient and affordable with and operating usage value of 14W and an impressive 0.1W usage while on standby certainly puts this up there for the energy conscious. Watch out for the Quickstart option though, this takes the standby usage up to a whopping 4W.
Panasonic DMP-BD60EB-K Blu-Ray Disc PlayerSlightly more expensive than the BD45 at around £120 and slightly less energy efficient. Still, operating at 14.8W and standby usage of 0.3 is still impressive.
All machines are of good quality and packed to the rafters with features as well as being kind on your electricity metre. Of course if you want to save even more energy then switch them off completely when not in use.
