Samsung Monitors Win Three SEAD Global Awards 2013

JOHANNESBURG - Oct. 30, 2013 - PRLog -- Samsung Electronics is proud to announce that it has won three prestigious SEAD Global Awards from the Super-efficient Equipment and Appliance Deployment (SEAD) Initiative. The S22C200 monitor won best medium-sized product below 23-inches, the S27C450 won best large-sized product above 23-inches and a 23.6-inch LED backlit prototype computer monitor received the SEAD Global Efficiency Medal in Emerging Technology. The SEAD Global Awards recognise the most energy efficient computer monitors across four geographic regions.

Mike van Lier, Business Leader for IT Solutions at Samsung South Africa, said, “We are honoured to receive this award from SEAD. Samsung places a high priority on environmental sustainability and is committed to incorporate leading green technologies when designing products. Every effort is made to reduce the impact on the environment and save our customers money on their energy bills.”

The 23.6-inch LED backlit prototype computer monitor that received the Global Efficiency Medal for Emerging Technology is 53% more efficient than comparable displays available on the market today*. The award-winning monitor will be commercially available globally within the next two years.

The first Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM1) was hosted by U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu in Washington, DC, in July 2010. The Super-efficient Equipment and Appliance Deployment (SEAD) initiative was launched at the first Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) to tap potential savings by accelerating market transformation to energy-efficient equipment and appliances. The SEAD Global Awards were launched in 2011 at the Clean Energy Ministerial conference held in Abu Dhabi attended by energy ministers from 16 countries including France, Germany and Korea.

The Awards evaluate products sold in North America, Europe, Australia and India for their energy efficiency.
