The televisions sold by Samsung in Europe would not be consistent with the stated energy consumption. The Korean group denies any cheating but Brussels has an investigation …
(Boursier.com) – Samsung he cheats on the energy consumption of its devices? The case has just been revealed by the British Guardian newspaper: tests conducted on brand TVs in Europe have shown that they consume less energy during testing in real conditions of use. A co-founded research group by the European Union, complian TV, revealed several anomalies. The “lightning Motion” option, to lower the screen brightness, would expend less energy during testing, but not for consumers. According to the daily, the European Commission said it would investigate his allegations of cheating, and promised to strengthen regulations on energy performance, to prohibit these “so-called defeat devices” in televisions and other products of consumption.
A new VW?
These revelations echo the Volkswagen scandal, which has been diving for several days the German manufacturer in serious difficulties. He is accused of having manipulated the testing of emissions of its diesel vehicles – 11 million cars would be affected in the world. But the South Korean group defends: “There is no comparison to draw” between the two cases, said a spokesman of the group, quoted by the ‘Guardian’. He explains that no option has been developed to work only when tests and misleading consumers.
