Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO'95 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also, to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during the manufacturing. Since it has not been possible for the majority of electronics equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter Nature. There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy. Electronics equipment in offices consume an enormous amount of energy since they are often left running continuously.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme which provides for international and environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden). The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electrical and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety. The environmental demands concern restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental plan which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its operational policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

The Philips 150B3Q and 150B3M are two innovative monitors from Philips, designed to meet the needs of professionals who require exceptional display quality and versatility. Both models are part of Philips' B-line, which emphasizes performance, productivity, and sustainability.

The Philips 150B3Q features a 15-inch screen that offers a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. This monitor utilizes a high-quality IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel, ensuring that users experience vibrant colors and wide viewing angles. This feature makes it ideal for collaborative work environments where multiple viewers may need to see the screen clearly from different positions.

One of the standout features of the 150B3Q is its superior brightness levels, which allow for clear visibility even in well-lit rooms. The monitor supports a 60Hz refresh rate, making it suitable for both static and dynamic content. Additionally, it includes technologies such as SmartContrast, which automatically adjusts the contrast and color settings to provide deeper black levels and enhanced detail in images.

The Philips 150B3M, on the other hand, caters to users seeking a versatile solution that adapts to various workspace requirements. It also boasts a 15-inch display with a 1024 x 768 resolution, but with added features like a VESA mounting capability. This allows users to easily attach the monitor to wall mounts or articulated arms, freeing up desk space and providing an ergonomic viewing experience.

Both models incorporate energy-efficient technologies, showcasing Philips' commitment to sustainability. The low power consumption of these monitors not only reduces electricity costs but also minimizes the environmental impact. The Philips 150B3Q and 150B3M are equipped with a range of connectivity options, including VGA and DVI ports, ensuring compatibility with various devices, from PCs to laptops.

Ergonomics is another focus of these monitors, as they provide tilting capabilities that allow users to adjust the angle of the display for maximum comfort. This adjustability is crucial for reducing fatigue during long work hours.
