in offices consumes an enormous amount of energy, since it is often routinely left running continuously.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme, which provides for international environmental labelling of monitors. 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 among other things restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons), and chlorinated solvents. 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 conducts its operations policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the monitor 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 monitor 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, along with physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

Environmental Requirements

Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. In turn, they delay the spread of fire. Up to thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. These are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to similar harm, including reproductive damage in fish eating birds and mammals, due to the bioaccumulative processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.

zTCO'95 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain organically bound chlorine and bromine.

Lead

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning.

zTCO'95 requirement Permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

Cadmium

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

zTCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of cadmium. The colour-generating layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

zTCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics components concerned with the display unit.

CFCs (freons)

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacturing of expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of ultraviolet light with consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).

700DF/900DF specifications

The Samsung 700DF and 900DF displays are part of Samsung's extensive lineup of high-performance monitors, designed to meet the needs of both professional and casual users. With their advanced features and technologies, these monitors have become popular for various applications, including gaming, graphic design, and general computing.

One of the standout features of the Samsung 700DF and 900DF is their impressive display quality. Both models use Samsung's cutting-edge VA panel technology, which delivers deep blacks and vibrant colors. The high contrast ratio ensures that users enjoy immersive visuals, making them suitable for watching movies, playing games, or working on color-critical tasks. Additionally, the monitors come with wide viewing angles, ensuring that the picture remains consistent even when viewed from the side.

In terms of resolution, the 700DF and 900DF models offer Full HD (1920 x 1080), providing sharp and clear images. This is particularly important for users who engage in graphic design or video editing, allowing for precise detailing and accurate representation of colors. The monitors also support a wide range of input options, including HDMI and DisplayPort, making it easy to connect to various devices.

The refresh rate on the Samsung 700DF and 900DF is another compelling feature. With a 75Hz refresh rate, these monitors provide smooth motion, which is especially beneficial for gaming. The inclusion of AMD FreeSync technology minimizes screen tearing and stuttering, further enhancing the gaming experience. This is a significant advantage for gamers seeking an edge in fast-paced titles.

Moreover, both monitors are equipped with an array of ergonomic features. They come with adjustable stands that allow users to modify the height, tilt, and swivel to achieve an optimal viewing position. This focus on ergonomics promotes comfort during long hours of use and helps reduce strain on the eyes and neck.

The monitors also incorporate eye-care technologies, such as Flicker-Free and Eye Saver Mode. These features help to minimize eye fatigue, making them ideal for users who spend extended periods in front of the screen. The Flicker-Free technology eliminates flickering, while the Eye Saver Mode reduces blue light emission, both of which contribute to a healthier viewing experience.

In summary, the Samsung 700DF and 900DF monitors are a powerful mix of advanced technologies and user-friendly features. With their exceptional display quality, ergonomic adjustments, and enhanced gaming capabilities, they cater to a wide variety of users, making them a valuable addition to any workspace or gaming setup.
