Philips Brilliance 225P1ES Widescreen ECO Monitor

Philips have introduced their newest eco-friendly widescreen monitor in the form of the 22” Philips Brilliance 225P1ES which, thanks to boasting PowerSensor technology, is capable, according to Philips, of cutting power consumption by up to 70% when compared with similar specified displays.

The integrated PowerSensor basically takes the form of a infrared sensor that served to detect when you’re seated before the Brilliance 225P1ES and, should it establish that you’ve gone walk-abouts and not turned your screen off (tut tut) it’ll step in to reduce the display’s brightness which will see up to a 50% reduction in power usage – though quite why the sensor doesn’t act to power down the screen entirely is beyond us (this would save more power, after all). Add into this the monitor’s other power saving features taking in ‘efficient power supplies and reduction in components’ and you should see up to 70% reduction in power usage, according to Philips, which, in truth, is certainly a keen selling point in an age where we are all (mostly) looking to do our bit for this rock of ours.
