While most other displays achieve energy efficiency classes D and E, Philips’ new products achieve the new energy label status with classes B and C, which leads to dramatic savings in power consumption and thus in total operating costs. But that’s not all. The Philips 27B2G5601 monitor from the same series, which is expected to be launched early next year, will be the first QHD docking display with a class C energy certification. Top performance with low energy consumption. This is made possible not least thanks to environmentally friendly, innovative technologies such as the PowerSensor and LightSensor. The PowerSensor uses harmless infrared signals to recognise whether someone is in front of the monitor and automatically adjusts the screen brightness. This alone can save up to 80 % in energy costs. The LightSensor technology, on the other hand, measures the intensity of the ambient light and adjusts the screen brightness accordingly. And it does so while maintaining outstanding picture quality, which is reflected in crystal-clear, colourful and fluid displays. Ergonomics is another key aspect of ‘green’ monitors that benefits everyone working at a suitably equipped workstation.

To protect against potentially harmful effects, these monitors reduce the amount of blue light emissions to a harmless level and have been certified by TÜV Rheinland with the Eyesafe RPF 40 seal. In addition, their low‑blue mode and hardware‑based SoftBlue technology further Rising energy prices, a shortage of raw materials and tens of millions of tonnes of electronic waste pose huge challenges for the fast-moving IT/CE industry. Small-scale solutions are not enough here. What is needed are comprehensive sustainability concepts that ensure greater energy efficiency and cover the entire life cycle of a device. One company that has been setting standards here for years is the technology provider MMD, which – as a brand licence partner for Philips Monitors – can be found on the desks of many offices with its high-performance yet sustainable displays. Philips Monitors was one of the very first display manufacturers to receive the prestigious ‘TCO Certified, Generation 9’ certification, a seal that defines strict and comprehensive ecological and social criteria for the entire life cycle of a product. More power, lower electricity costs A key feature of most Philips monitors is their energy-saving and therefore cost-saving operation in everyday office life. In particular, the recently introduced 24B2G5200, 27B2G5200 and 27B2G5500 business displays, which are also TCO-certified, with standard screen diagonals of How ‘green’ monitors from Philips help save real money COVER STORY The Mission: an environmentally friendly office
