Eizo 24-inch FlexScan S2433W-H debuts, inspires blank stares

by Joseph L. Flatley posted Jul 31st 2009 at 2:42AM

When not thrilling us with their excessively ugly HDTVs, the kids at Eizo usually have a relatively benign monitor or two to send our way. The FlexScan S2433W-H is a 24.1-inch LCD that sports WUXGA resolution (1920x1200), a 16ms response time, a DVI-D (HDCP) port, DisplayPort, and a coverage rate of 96% of Adobe RGB. Look for this guy in Japan on September 1, with the PR listing the price as a cool ¥94,800 about ($1,000).

Eizo 23-inch FlexScan EV2333W-H chooses DisplayPort, not HDMI

by Thomas Ricker posted Jun 12th 2009 at 5:41AM

Nobody was happy to see digital video standards splinter along the lines of DisplayPort and HDMI back in 2007. Two years on and Dell and Apple seem to be the primary forces behind the standard as the rest of the consumer electronics industry opts for straight-up HDMI. Kind of makes you wonder if DisplayPort is the new Firewire particularly with HDMI 1.4 and minascule Type D HDMI plugs around the corner. At least Eizo's tossing DisplayPort another bone today with the introduction of its 23-inch FlexScan EV2333W-H in Japan. The 1920x1080 pixel display with 3000:1 contrast, 300nits of brightness, and 7-ms response also packs a DVI-D jack to help ease the transition. It'll cost ¥54,800 (about $560) when it lands in Japan mid-July. Not exactly a game-changer.

Eizo's FlexScan EV2023W / EV2303W LCD monitors turn off when humans are away

by Darren Murph posted Apr 23rd 2009 at 2:17PM

Not that we haven't seen LCD monitors get less demanding when it comes to energy, but we've yet to see a company take eco-friendliness this far. Professional LCD maker Eizo has just announced a new pair of panels (the 20-inch FlexScan EV2023W-H and the 23-inch EV2303W-T) that boast a "human presence sensor." As the phrase implies, these displays are designed to shift to power saving mode when it realizes that its master has vacated the area, and when they return, it automatically flips back on in order to keep from being bashed by one of many USB-connected peripherals. Unfortunately, it seems the human detection timer can't be changed from 40 seconds, and no, there are no current plans to implement a robot presence sensor once the Apocalypse is realized.

Eizo debuts 56-inch 4k x 2k RadiForce LS560W LCD monitor

by Darren Murph posted Apr 2nd 2009 at 1:29PM

Eizo's known for doling out less-than-affordable LCD monitors, but this one just takes the crown (for now). Slated to dazzle in operating rooms everywhere this July, the RadiForce LS560W is a 56-inch behemoth of an LCD that boasts a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 (or darn close to native 4k x 2k). We're also told that the panel features a 176-degree field of view, a 1,200:1 contrast ratio and 450 nits of brightness. And to think -- we were beginning to wonder if all that 4k surgery footage would ever find a dedicated screen to run on.

Eizo debuts pair of new color-accurate FlexScan LCDs

by Donald Melanson posted Jan 15th 2009 at 4:09PM

Apart from the occasional foray into unconventional remote controls, Eizo is best known for its often-specialized monitors, and the company has returned to its stomping grounds with its latest announcement: a pair of new FlexScan LCDs that promise to cover 95% of the Adobe RGB color space (and 92% of the NTSC color gamut). Those include the FlexScan S2242W-H and FlexScan S2232W-E, both of which are 22-inchers, with the former boasting a full 1920x1200 resolution and the latter dialing things back slightly to 1680x1050. Otherwise, the two seem to be mostly identical, with each sporting a 1,200:1 contrast ratio, a 12ms black-to-white response time, VGA and HDCP-capable DVI ports (but no HDMI), a pair of USB ports, and pair of built-in 0.5W speakers. No indication of a release over here, as usual, but folks in Japan will be able to pick 'em up next month for ¥69,800 yen and ¥62,800 (or roughly $780 and $700).

Eizo introduces FlexScan S2432W-H LCD monitor with DisplayPort

by Darren Murph posted Nov 5th 2008 at 9:55AM

It's been a hot minute since we've spotted a FlexScan monitor from Eizo, but the outfit is hitting back today with a DisplayPort-equipped new member in the S2432W-H. The 24-incher includes a native WUXGA resolution (1,920 x 1,200), 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 360 cd/m2 brightness and a response time of 16-milliseconds. You'll also find an ambient light sensor, HDCP compatibility and that all-important DisplayPort. Oh, and for those unfamiliar with Eizo's prices, brace yourself: this one will go for around $938 when it ships in Japan next month.

Eizo's C@T-one remote control mouse: wheel, reinvented

by Thomas Ricker posted Sep 12th 2008 at 4:54AM

It's a mouse, it's a television remote control -- really, besides a bag of chips and a great Belgian lager like Budweiser, what else is needed for a sedentary lifestyle? The C@T-one (get it, cat one?) ships with a 2.4GHz wireless USB dongle and should work with your PC-based media center or FORIS.HD TV. ¥12,600 (about $120), problem solved.

Update: This little remote works with a wide variety of televisions, tuners, and video recorders from Sharp, Sony, Panasonic and many more. Full list after the break with a picture of the device in hand for scale.

Eizo pitches new FlexScan HD2452W monitor at gamers

by Donald Melanson posted May 22nd 2008 at 1:54PM

Eizo's certainly no stranger to high-end monitors, and the company's now expanding its offerings yet again, this time with an LCD targeted specifically at gamers. Judging from the specs, however, the 24-inch FlexScan HD2452W should please just about anyone with the necessary money to spend, with it boasting a full WUXGA resolution, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 450Cd/m2 brightness, and just about every port you could want, including two HDMI -- not to mention a 24p mode to make the most of those Blu-ray discs. About the only place it falls a bit short, it seems, is with the response rate, which clocks in at a hefty 16 ms. Look for this one to hit Japan sometime next month for the rough equivalent of $1,250.

Eizo lets loose 30-inch CG301W monitor with hardware calibration

by Donald Melanson posted Feb 4th 2008 at 3:12PM

Eizo first let out word about this one last fall, but it looks like the company's just now gotten around to formally introducing its latest 30-inch display, with the CG301W making its debut at the big PMA show in Las Vegas. Among other things, this one boasts hardware calibration for those not willing to take any chances, and an impressive 97% reproduction of the Adobe RGB color space. Other specs are similarly high-end, including a 2560 x 1600 resolution, dual DVI-D inputs for hooking up two computers (with a picture-in-picture function to boot), and Eizo's Application Specific Integrated Circuit (or ASIC), which promises to work all sorts of magic to deliver the best image possible. No word on a price, but given that Eizo's non-hardware calibrated 30-incher demands a hefty $2,555, it may be best not to ask.

EIZO's 24-inch FlexScan for the colorblind

by Thomas Ricker posted Nov 26th 2007 at 3:49AM

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.

Eizo whips up FlexScan SX2761W / SX2461W LCD monitors

by Darren Murph posted Nov 8th 2007 at 2:02PM

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).

Eizo finally escapes the ugly with latest FORIS HD LCDs

by Paul Miller posted Nov 1st 2007 at 9:04AM

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.

Eizo intros 30-inch FlexScan SX3031W-H monitor

by Donald Melanson posted Oct 18th 2007 at 6:01AM

Eizo sure looks to have outdone itself with its latest FlexScan monitor, which considerably ups the size and specs (and price) over the company's previous models. Leading the list of attention-grabbing specifications is the monitor's 2560 x 1600 (or WQXGA) resolution which, when combined with the dual DVI inputs, can also be split down the middle to let you use two computers at 1200 x 1600 apiece. Otherwise, Eizo says you'll get 100% coverage of the NTSC color gamut, along with a 900:1 contrast ratio, a brightness rating of 260cd/m2, and a pair of USB 2.0 ports, among other more common features. Look for it to set you back around $2,555 when it lands this December.

Eizo launches 24.1-inch ColorEdge CG241W LCD

by Darren Murph posted Jun 14th 2007 at 3:34PM

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.

by Darren Murph posted Jun 11th 2007 at 5:55AM

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.
