Conserves Energy and Preserves the Environment
Engineered with the ecologically responsible homeowner in mind, the Samsung monitor reduces power consumption by 40%, making it much more efficient than conventional monitors. By reducing the number of LED and defaulting to standby power, which requires less than 0.3 W as opposed to the typical 1.0 W, the Samsung monitor is poised to make a difference. How big a difference? If your monitor saves 120 W each day, that’s the annual equivalent of eliminating 10.8 kg of CO2 emitted from an oil-burning power plant—which produces the same effect as planting four pine trees.
