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%.
Power consumption as illustrated above is for reference purpose only
