Sony Eco TV is off when no one is watching
The new model is the Bravia WE5 “Eco TV”, which includes a smart sensor that can detect the presence if the television is watching. The sensor senses movement of a body heat to be placed in the range of the TV screen.
If the viewer is asleep, the motion sensor detects it and puts the picture option off, reducing electricity consumption. If the last person leaves the room, the heat detector senses movement and re-use the picture option off. If for any reason or circumstance the sleeping person up, or if someone comes back to the room, the display will light up immediately.
The picture mode automatically puts off the black screen, but the sound continues with the same volume level, which reduces the energy consumption from 116 watts to 60 watts. This phase will continue for 30 minutes and then proceeded to shut down.
Anyone can set the motion sensor. The TV will not be shut down for long periods sitting in front of the TV, since it is the body temperature is what controls the mechanism.
