Until 1998, the Swedish Energy Administration also belonged to NUTEK, which was the first organization in the world to develop a standard for energy-saving devices. For a screen , this standard includes switching off the device in two stages with an adjustable time. Furthermore, an energy-saving mode below 30 watts and a wake up (start-up) within 3 seconds.
