Hold the presses, Toshiba has introduced an on/off switch to its televisions.According to company all CV and XV television models will now be able to be switched off promoting a greener image for the company.
"It used to be the Chelsea tractors that where the brunt of eco concerns, now it's the consumer electronics industry", a spokesman for the company said at the company's annual spring launch event in the UK.
"Now we are giving consumers the choice to turn our televisions off."
