TVs with Automatic Brightness Control (ABC):
To account for the power savings achieved through automatic brightness control, where the feature is
activated by default when shipped to the end user, On Mode power consumption shall be determined as
outlined in Equation 1:
Equation 1: Pa1_broadcast = (0.55 * Po_broadcast) + (0.45 * Pabc_broadcast)
Where:
-Pa1_broadcast is the average On Mode power consumption in watts and rounded to the nearest whole
number, taking into consideration that the TV will be in low ambient light level conditions 45% of the time.
-Po_broadcast is the average On Mode power consumption in watts and rounded to the nearest whole
number, and tested with a minimum ambient light level of 300 lux entering directly into the sensor.
-Pabc_broadcast is the average On Mode consumption in watts and rounded to the nearest whole
number, with an ambient light level of zero (0) lux measured at the face of the sensor.
Pmax = maximum allowable On Mode power consumption
TVs Using an External Power Supply (EPS):
To qualify, the EPS must meet the level V performance requirements under the International Efficiency
Marking Protocol and include the level V marking. Additional information on the Marking Protocol is
available at www.energystar.gov/powersupplies.
