Question:

What are the differences between Energy Saver and Eco Sensor features on my TV? How do they affect my viewing experience?

Answer:

Energy Saver

Energy Saver: This option automatically adjusts the TV's brightness based on the picture being displayed. It aims to save energy by dimming the backlight for darker images and brightening it for lighter ones. However, this may sometimes interfere with the viewing experience. To disable automatic adjustments, choose a setting other than 'auto'.

Terms:

Brightness: Adjusts the overall intensity of the image on the TV.

Backlight: Illuminates the pixels on the TV screen, creating an image.

Eco Sensor

Eco Sensor: This feature uses a light sensor to dynamically brighten or dim the TV according to the ambient light in the room. This helps reduce energy consumption and eye fatigue, especially in low light environments. When Eco Sensor is enabled (set to "On"), you can manually adjust the minimum backlight level to control how far the TV can dim. Raising the "Min Backlight" can prevent the TV from becoming too dim during automatic adjustments.

Terms:

Ambient Light: The amount of light present in the room where the TV is placed.

Eye Fatigue: Tiredness of the eyes caused by prolonged exposure to bright screens in low light conditions.

Headaches: Can be triggered by watching a bright TV in a low light environment, leading to discomfort.

Min Backlight: The lowest brightness level that the TV can reach; adjusting this value can control the dimming limits when using the Eco Sensor feature.

There are two reasons for this dimming function:

1. Dimming the TV uses less energy.
2. Watching a bright TV in a low light environment causes eye fatigue and can cause headaches.
• By dimming the TV it reduces eye fatigue.

When Eco Sensor is selected and is set to "On" you can adjust the "Min Backlight" level.

Adjusting this level with determine the limit of how far the TV can dim.

If you like the eco sensor function but the TV gets a little too dim when it adjusts itself you can raise the "Min Backlight" to resolve this issue.
