Philips 225B1CB/27 review
World’s first PowerSensor display cuts power bills The Green Philips 225B
monitor with revolutionary PowerSensor technology detects user presence and
adjusts power consumption accordingly, reducing your power consumption by
up to 70%.
PowerSensor:Ensures lower operating costs by saving energy PowerSensor is a
built-in ‘people sensor’ that transmits and receives harmless
infrared signals to determine if user is present and automatically reduces
monitor brightness when user steps away from the desk, cutting energy costs
by up to 70 percent and prolonging monitor life.
High energy efficiency helps reduce energy bills Philips has taken a lead
in ensuring that all its products switch to energy efficient solutions. By
using efficient power supplies and reduction in components, Philips has
ensured that your monitor typically consumes about 50% less power than its
equivalent previous generation model. Energy saving is further enhanced by
using only 0.5 watts in sleep mode. Lower power consumption results in
fewer CO2 emissions. You can read more about Philips and energy efficiency

a ‘people friendly’ Philips monitor base that tilts, swivels

Built in stereo audio for multimedia experience A pair of high quality
stereo speakers built into a display device. It can be visible front
firing, or invisible down firing, top firing, rear firing, etc depending on
model and design.
USB port to enhance multimedia experience The universal serial bus or USB
is a standard protocol for linking PCs and peripherals. Because it delivers
high speed at a low cost, USB has become the most popular method for
connecting peripheral devices to a computer. A port located on a monitor
directly in the user’s line of sight provides easy, high-speed
connectivity for USB devices at a convenient location. (USB 2.0 support is
dependent on your PC’s USB configuration; when connected to a PC that
supports USB 2.0, your monitor is USB 2.0 compatible)
