Power Consumption
The power consumption values stated in the Specifications table are calculated under the
typical conditions of viewing a single source with default settings.
Due to the advanced capabilities of the Planar VM Series, and the widely variable power
consumption of user-installed OPS devices, the total maximum power draw of Planar VM Series
is influenced by several factors:

The use of Local Dimming and backlight variables that occur as content changes

The variable power consumption of an installed OPS device
Given the relatively low likelihood of all the above conditions being met and maximized
simultaneously, the "Power Consumption: Backlight Max (Typ.)" value is instead calculated by
increasing the default backlight value of 70 to 100, and multiplying the wattage by approximately
1.43. The power consumption would increase above these specified values if the above factors
are introduced, and should be taken into account when estimating power consumption.
