SELECT TV owners are about to get a new green screen in their living room.
But it’s not the type film sets use to take you to a world of fantasy – it’s the kind that will save you money on your electricity bills.

Owners of newer Sony TVs are set to receive a free upgrade known as Eco Dashboard.
It essentially makes it easier to see the environmental cost of your telly settings, so you can adjust them accordingly.
Users will be able to see how each settings impacts their Sony TV’s energy use.
According to Sony, the setting can reduce your TV’s energy consumption by up to 32 per cent.
The energy saving feature is being rolled out as part of Sony’s latest TV firmware update.
But only TVs with the MediaTek MT5895 processor will be compatible with the update.
If you’re a Sony TV owner, your telly should automatically update with the latest firmware.
But if it hasn’t and you’re keen to get saving right away, you can download the firmware upgrade manually from Sony.
