Fujitsu Siemens zero-Watt-standby monitor finalised
Fujitsu Siemens has shown off the finished design of the first computer monitor to draw zero Watts in standby.
The early prototype used a solar panel to maintain an internal capacitor’s charge which flicks a relay when it detects a video signal. The new model doesn’t have solar panels but includes an auto-light sensor instead. In bright light the monitor draws around 46W, which drops to 27W when the monitor’s brightness is reduced in dark surroundings.
The monitor is now called the Scenicview P22W-5 ECO and will go on sale in the summer.
