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

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

beyond us (this would save more power, after all). Add into this the

25,000:1, a brightness of 250 cd/mยฒ and a response time of 5ms (which
