Modern multimedia technology has found its way into many households. Old tube televisions, for example, were gradually being replaced by modern flicker boxes, which are flatter and use LCD, LED or plasma technology. The functions and options for settings have also become more versatile. The television switches itself off after a certain period of time if no further entries are made.

That is why a device switches itself off

Modern televisions with flat screens are not only much more space-saving than the old tube sets, they are also better adapted to current multimedia technology. For example, these televisions can also be connected to a computer can be connected and function as a monitor at the same time.

  • If you buy such a television, you should pay attention to criteria such as the maximum possible image resolution or a short response time. This is also good, as these properties reveal a lot about the quality of the device and the image to be displayed. While the resolution cannot be high enough, the response time should be 5 ms or less.
  • But what would be at least as important, since it is more cost-effective, is energy consumption. The new television is usually already set at the factory so that it stops operating after a certain period of time. If no button on the device or the remote control is pressed during this time, it switches itself off. Don't be frightened, the TV isn't broken. This is only intended to minimize energy consumption.
