Environmental Requirements

Flame retardants

Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in fetus development may occur.

The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the color-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labeled unit.

230w5 specifications

The Philips 230W5 is a standout monitor that embodies the blend of cutting-edge technology and elegant design, making it a compelling choice for both professional and personal use. Known for its superior display quality and ergonomic features, this monitor caters to various user needs, from graphic design to general computing tasks.

One of the most noteworthy characteristics of the Philips 230W5 is its 23-inch wide-screen display, which boasts a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. This means users can expect sharpness and clarity that enhance the viewing experience, whether one is watching movies, playing games, or working on detailed projects. The monitor features an IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel, which provides wider viewing angles and more accurate colors compared to traditional TN panels. This ensures that the display looks vibrant and consistent from various angles, making it ideal for collaborative work environments.

The monitor is designed with Philips' SmartContrast technology, which dynamically adjusts the contrast ratio of the images being displayed. This results in deeper blacks and brighter whites, improving the overall visual quality, especially in darker scenes. Additionally, the PowerSensor technology is a remarkable feature that employs infrared detection to sense when the user is away from the monitor. It then automatically reduces the screen brightness to save energy, a blend of convenience and sustainability that appeals to environmentally-conscious users.

Ergonomics is another highlight of the Philips 230W5. The monitor comes equipped with height, tilt, and swivel adjustments, allowing users to customize their viewing experience to reduce strain during long hours of use. This is essential for professionals and gamers who are in front of the screen for extended periods.

Connectivity is also well-addressed, with multiple input options including HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA, allowing for easy connection to various devices, from laptops to gaming consoles. The built-in speakers provide decent sound quality, further enhancing the multimedia experience without the need for additional external speakers.

In summary, the Philips 230W5 is more than just a monitor; it is a multifunctional device that combines impressive display technologies with user-centric features. Its Full HD IPS panel, SmartContrast, energy-saving capabilities, and ergonomic design make it a versatile choice for anyone seeking to upgrade their workstation or gaming setup without compromising on style or performance.
