Samsung follows the path of Volkswagen. The European Commission will check whether the company deceived by testing energy consumption – GazetaPrawna.pl

The Guardian indicates that the issue has confirmed the research group ComplianTV. It has tested the Samsung TVs in ordinary conditions in which they are used by a consumer. And it turned out that the energy consumption is much larger than that declared by the manufacturer.

Why?

As explained in the British press, most likely this is due to the technology used “motion lighting,” which serve It is saving electricity. In certain moments, when it will not disturb the recipient, the screen dims, and thus, the TV uses less energy.

The problem is that ComplianTV determined that the Samsung detect test materials to use during official testing , by which TV still worked in the energy-saving mode. In everyday use, while in this mode, they work quite rare.

The case also already informed the Polish technical services, as antyweb.pl or spidersweb.pl.

Martin Połowianiuk the pages spidersweb.pl It underlines that Samsung is too similar to a loud scandal involving Volkswagen.

“- The difference is that VW officially admitted to manipulation, while Samsung flatly denies that cheating in tests” – noted.

In the near future matter should be addressed by the European Commission, whose task will be to first determine whether in fact the energy consumption in everyday use Samsung TVs is higher than declared by the manufacturer. And if so – whether there has been only for unintentional mistakes or the Korean company deliberately confusing.

Olaf Krynicki, a spokesman for Samsung
> We firmly reject suggestions that our TVs are equipped with a mechanism designed to interfere with the measurement of energy consumption. It is not possible to test synthetic and real consumption differed from each other. Auto Motion Plus, the current Smart TV from 2011, actually reduces energy consumption. Not only becomes active when measuring power consumption, by contrast, is enabled by default right out of the box hardware – both at home and in the laboratory. It is an option which can of course be turned off by going to the user settings, but in standard mode is the default setting. Dynamic backlight is one of the elements of the system that we have developed with the aim of reducing the impact of electronic devices on the environment. We are extremely proud of these technologies and we intend to develop them.
