Eizo's back with a new 24-inch Flexscan SX2461W-U monitor for the colorblind color-weak chromatically sight challenged interpeoples. It chews the same CUD (Color Universal Design) technology of their 19-incher which uses shapes, positions, patterns, and so on to communicate color information back to the user. The monitor itself is capable of 92% color reproduction on a 1,920 x 1200 panel with 850:1 contrast and 300cd/m2 brightness. It will source input from a pair of HDCP-enabled DVI jacks while passing USB back to your PC with a pair of USB 2.0 ports. Available in Japan starting December 6 for ¥136,000 or about $1,047 of the green stuff, or blue stuff, depending.

If you have a seemingly insatiable appetite for screen real estate, Eizo's out to satisfy. The firm has unleashed a new duo of FlexScan monitors, which both sport a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution VA panel and the ability to be set up vertically or horizontally. As for the 24.1-inch SX2461W (pictured after the jump), it promises to reproduce 96-percent of the AdobeRGB color space and features a 850:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, six-millisecond response time, HDCP-compliant DVI connector and a pair of USB ports. The 27-incher differs by handling 95-percent of the AdobeRGB color space, sporting 320 cd/m2 brightness and giving users a few more inches (but not pixels, mind you) to work with. Price wise, the little(r) fellow will run you a stiff ¥137,800 ($1,202) when it lands next month, while the 27-incher will demand an additional ¥40,200 ($350).

It was touch and go for a minute there, with Eizo laying claim to the "ugliest HDTVs ever made" on these very pages. Lucky for eyeballs the world over, Eizo been hard at work in the design department, and this latest FORIS HD line is -- dare we say it -- rather sexy. The Japan-destined displays come in 24-inch and 27-inch versions, with WUXGA (Full HD) resolutions, three HDMI inputs and a TV tuner. They'll be retailing for the equivalent of $1,469 to $1,642 US and come in white and blue flavors.

Apparently, Eizo just wasn't kosher with busting out a brand new addition to its FlexScan lineup without also expanding the professionally-geared ColorEdge series, so just three days after seeing the HD2441W, here comes the 24.1-inch CG241W for the discerning set. This widescreen beast touts a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution panel, all black frame, 178-degree viewing angles, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 850:1 contrast ratio, six-millisecond response time, and comes tuned from the factory to showcase colors as accurately as possible. Additionally, you'll find DVI / VGA inputs, a host of USB 2.0 ports, VESA compatibility, and a shade hood thrown in for good measure. Eizo's expansive CG241W can be pre-ordered now for a whopping ¥209,790 ($1,718), but if you're willing to cough up the dough, you should have one very precise monitor in your hands by early next month.

Eizo's HD2451W not good enough for you? Looks like the firm is cranking out yet another widescreen monitor, but the differences aren't all that substantial. Nevertheless, the FlexScan HD2441W sports a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, 3,000:1 contrast ratio, 450 cd/m2 brightness, 178-degree viewing angles, HDCP-compliant DVI port, VGA, twin HDMI inputs, OutlineEnhancer filtering, audio out, several USB ports, picture-in-picture, and a touch sensitive slide bar to access the on-screen display adjusters. Thie device will be arriving in black, a white-silver combination, and titanium silver color schemes, and will include a five year warranty to help you rest easier. No word yet on price, but it should be filtering onto select shelves any minute.

Yup, it's another 24-inch, 1920 x 1200 LCD monitor with 1000:1 contrast ratio. Not that that's a bad thing. This time, it's Eizo doing the honors with this, their ¥149,800 (about $1,232) FlexScan HD2451W. That "HD" in the name gives a hint to the panel's 2x HDMI inputs for 1080p sourced content. It also packs more traditional HDCP-enabled DVI and D-Sub15 inputs for your computers as well as S-Video and composite inputs for your other AV equipment. Rounding things out are a 450cd/m2 brightness, 16ms response, DVI and D-sub 15 inputs, a 2x USB hub, and the ability to pivot into portrait mode. The only thing that seems to be missing is LED backlighting. Eizo is also offering a business-minded FlexScan S2431W without all the pesky video inputs for ¥114,800 (about $944) or a 20.1-inch, 1680 x 1050 FlexScan S2031W for ¥59,800 (about $492) if your boss is a bit tight with the budget. All should hit Japan starting June 7. Check the backside ports on the HD2451W after the break.

Although NEC already went blue earlier today on its new LaVie L laptop, the firm's 26-inch MultiSync 2690WXi widescreen monitor is holding down the ever-trendy white / silver motif. Getting a bit of facetime at Focus on Imaging 2007, the expansive display looks to be a match made in heaven for Mac users who don't feel like springing for any of Apple's own offerings, and is aiming at the eagle-eyed photographer who appreciates color accuracy as much as any specification on a display. The unit purportedly offers up 400 cd/m2 brightness, 178-degree viewing angles, 800:1 contrast ratio, seven-millisecond response time, VGA / DVI inputs, and support for wall mounting as well. It was noted that an elusive "professional" rendition was also on display, alongside quite a few competing EIZO monitors targeting the shooting set, but even the "lower-end" 2690WXi will reportedly demand a stiff £868 ($1,700) for all its color-perfecting ways.

If you liked Eizo's 19-inch FlexScan LCD then check these 21.1-inch and 24-inch panels from Eizo's SlimEdge (and FatAzz) lineup of monitors. While there's no doubting the ultra-slim bezel of that other Eizo SlimEdge we saw, this is pushing it. The 24-inch, S2411W brings a 1920x1200 WUXGA resolution and 6-ms response while the 21.1-inch, S2111W features a 1680x1050 WSXGA+ resolution and 8-ms response. Both panels share some of the picture processing technology of their Foris.TV brethren while delivering a 178-degree visibility, 450cd/m2 brightness, and a 1000:1 (native) on up to 3000:1 contrast ratio when their contrast optimizer magic is switched on. They also feature 2x HDCP-enabled DVI-I inputs and 2x USB 2.0 jacks. Expect the chubsters to hit Japan starting December 6th, with the S2411W set to pull ¥139,800 (about $1,183) while the S2111W will set you back a more modest ¥89,250 (about $755).

EIZO is fleshing out its already robust lineup of diversified 19-inch LCDs by offering up the FlexScan S1931-SE. The display boasts an "EZ-UP" stand which makes raising and lowering the monitor to match your comfort level a breeze, but manages to sport otherwise uninspiring specs. It rocks a 1,280 x 1,024 resolution, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 280cd/m2 brightness, 8-millisecond response time, and a set of not-exactly-skull-rattling 0.3-watt stereo speakers. The company showcases its "178 degree viewing angle" and built-in "BrightRegulator" -- which apparently adjusts the monitor's brightness setting based on surrounding light levels -- and it also offers up a pair of DVI inputs and one VGA port in the connection department. The S1931-SE will be available overseas for ¥69,800 ($594) later this month.

Thankfully, the sets we dubbed the ugliest HDTVs ever made just received a more muted make-over. These new 32/26/20-inch Foris.TV models come slathered in man-colors like black, gray, blue, red, and brown -- the colors of Pabst, dirt, and dare we say, victory. Each TV ships with integrated analog/digital tuners and a front-loading DVD player slotted between the bezel and speaker panel. You also get a 1366x768 resolution, 500cd/m2 brightness, HDMI input, and Ethernet among other in and outs. The 32/26-inchers are fitted with IPS panels throwing a 178-degree viewing angle and 2x HDMIs while the 20-incher delivers a VA panel with a 176-degree angle of visibility and single HDMI. Expect that 32-incher mounted to a remote controlled, moveable base to cost you ¥225,000 (about $1,973) while the 26-incher will demand ¥189,000 (about $1,657), and the 20-incher ¥136,500 (about $1,197) when these all go on sale in Japan on November 15th.

Eizo just spat-out 19-inches of top-quality CUD for your graphics department to lap up. Designed apparently to assist the color blind, the FlexScan L797 is the first to carry the mark of the CUD, or Color Universal Design, and comes loaded with a "color vision simulation facitlity" to redisplay an on-screen image as a trichromasticly-challenged person would see it. Hell, we're just going off the machine translation here, which also says something about "the potato, by the fact that you improve" so who knows. Nevertheless, the LCD is capable of 1280x1024 (SXGA), a 450:1 contrast ratio, 20-millisecond response cause Jimmy don't game, 170-degree visibility, and 2x DVI inputs. Should drop in Japan for ¥130,000 or about $1,108 starting October 20th.

Widely known for its so-called "professional displays," EIZO has unveiled a new flagship model that touts the ability to reproduce "nearly 100 percent" of the Adobe RGB color space, among other niceties. The 22.2-inch ColorEdge CG221 sports a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution, 16:10 widescreen aspect ratio, 400:1 contrast ratio, and comes equipped with EIZO's latest 12-bit lookup table with a literal smorgasbord of color tones. The monitor can be quickly calibrated using the bundled ColorNavigator software, but leaves you the responsibility of coughing up the dough for those pricey calibration devices. While this LCD comes with every type of black level, brightness, white point, and gamma adjustment you can imagine, EIZO reportedly saves you the trouble by shipping the CG221 with pre-examined "factory settings" already in place; you'll also get EIZO's typical five year warranty and a nifty screen hood to fully "geek out" your ultra-precise display. While this eagle-eyed monitor is supposedly available right now, pricing deets aren't nearly as clear, but we're fairly certain this level of exactitude demands a pretty penny.
