4. Power Sensor™

PowerSensor is a unique environmentally friendly technology from Philips which enables user to save up to 80% of power consumption. In line with Philip’s Sense and Simplicity drive, this user friendly technology works for you right out of the box without any hardware or software installation, and without any user intervention in the default mode.

	How does it work?
v	PowerSensor works on principle of transmission and reception of harmless “infrared” signals in
	order to detect user-presence.
v	When the user is in front of the monitor the monitor operates normally, at the predetermined
	settings that the user has set- i.e. Brightness, contrast, color, etc
v	Assuming that the monitor was set to 100% of brightness for example, when the user leaves
	his seat and is no longer in front of the monitor, the monitor automatically reduces the power
	consumption up to 80%.
	User present in front			User not present
		20			20
	0			0		40
