My friend Seiji McCarthy sent me this photo from a TV he recently purchased. He knew I would find it as amusing and ridiculous as he did. On the remote of his TV, there is a green “ECO” button. He wondered what it did so he looked in the manual only to find: “ECO: Key has no function“.
Is this some marketing gimmick? A ploy? Lazy design? Whatever it is, it’s just plain sad.
僕の友人のSeiji McCarthyが先日購入したテレビの写真を送ってくれました。彼と同じくらい、僕がウケると思ったようです。彼のテレビのリモコンには、この緑の「ECO」ボタンがあります。なんのボタンか知りたくて、マニュアルを確認すると:「ECO:このボタンは機能がありません。」


































Maybe it’s a set up, for features to come?
What TV is it for?
