As for the weight of the Philips Brilliance 225P1ES with pedestal is 6.47 kg, without stand package weighs 4.15 kg and 7.58 kg Regarding the specific characteristics of your monitor, we can not dedicate a line to its Soul Flower: to produce the Philips Brilliance 225P1ES have been used only environmentally friendly materials and lead-free. All parts in plastic, metal and packaging are in fact 100% recyclable. The packaging of the monitor has VGA and DVI-I cable, power cable and audio cable, in addition to the user manual. The low power consumption is the strong point of Philips monitors. To provide some offhand and technical power in "ECO mode" is less than 17.5 W. In standard mode the monitor uses less than 20 W, while in "standby mode" and "Off Mode" consumes less than 0.5 W. Having pitted the technical specifications, it is time to dedicate to one of the innovative features of the Brilliance 225P1ES, designed for the environment. Think of PowerSensor, a sensor which detects the presence of the user in front of the screen, allowing you to reduce consumption of the monitor. The sensor works by transmitting and receiving infrared signals (not harmful to health) that determine the presence of people within a certain distance, user-customizable from 30 to 120 centimeters. The sensor works beautifully, the only recommendation is that if we are dressed in black, we set the maximum sensitivity of PowerSensor. With PowerSensor we could save 50% of energy costs, preserving the longer the life of your monitor. The local control of the screen allows us to adjust the settings according to five different profiles of use: office, image display, entertainment, energy saving and disabled. The menu of the monitor is standard, fully comparable with those of all other monitors, with the possibility of activating the PowerSaver outside. Among the pros of the monitor you are certainly the focus on energy savings and the excellent idea of the function PowerSafe, the possibility of rotation of the screen in portrait mode and the design itself is very simple, straightforward and clean. As against, I note that mode "entertainment" characters of the words appear blurred and appears almost lose body making web browsing tiring for the eyes. I would also have a feeling that the PowerSafe unreliable, for the moment. The use of the monitor for video games is rather optimal and the blur are minimal. The monitor has an average price of 229 €, a price more than adequate for the services offered. Could be a great Christmas gift.
