“We firmly reject the accusation that one of our TV settings has been designed for a deceptive energy power performance in the regulatory laboratory tests. The mechanism in question and that is used is not a setting enabled only during compliance testing. It is a designated definition ‘motion lighting’ and is a feature that reduces the brightness of the screen when it’s detected movement in the image (motion video).
This is a standard feature that works the same way in laboratory and home, ie is not only switched in accordance tests. It is a feature ‘out-of-the-box’, that is, which is automatically activated when the customer receives the TV set, and stays on when the customer chooses to view TV in preview mode ‘standard’.
The functionality ‘motion lighting’ is part of a series of features that we have developed to help reduce the environmental impact of our TV technology. We are proud of these technologies and we intend to further innovate in this area. “
