EIZO FORIS FS2333 23-inch gaming monitor helps you see what evil lurks in the shadows
How seriously do you take your gaming habit? Is it extreme enough to warrant the purchase of a monitor specially designed to highlight baddies hiding out in the shadows? Well then EIZO's about to make your day, as its FORIS FS2333 23-inch display packs intelligent imaging technology to amplify your FPS and RTS needs precisely where it counts. The full HD 1920 x 1080 IPS screen employs a a trio of techniques dubbed Smart Insight, Smart Resolution and Smart Detection to increase the visibility of enemies shrouded in shadow without compromising on contrast, adjust for excessive blur and sharpen the focus of onscreen activity, respectively. Of course, the dedicated set wouldn't be complete without much needed ports for DVI-D, D-Sub, HDMI (x2), audio I / O and a remote control. There's no word on pricing just yet, but interested parties can look forward to a July ship date for this made-in-gamer-heaven monitor. Official presser after the break.
Eizo industrial monitor does 4K resolution at 36-inches, start saving now
Looking for a display that can do justice to all that 4K footage you've been shooting on your Red One or Arri Alexa lately? Okay, perhaps not. But if you were, then the DuraVision FDH3601 from Eizo Nanao could handle it easily with 4096 x 2160 pixels spread over 36.4-inches of LED-backlit real estate. It comes with another big number too: a price tag of ¥2.88 million ($36,000), which gently hints at the fact that this beast is primarily aimed at specialist industrial applications. Eizo claims it's perfect for air traffic control, where staff can make full use of specs like "Digital Uniformity Correction" circuitry to compensate for uneven color or brightness, motion sensors to power the monitor on or off as needed, and a stand that can be minutely adjusted to get the perfect angle. Suddenly, despite the heavy burden of responsibility and the fact that you have to keep your phone switched off all the time, that career choice seems almost worth it.
Eizo's 27-inch ColorEdge CG275W has a 2560 x 1440 IPS panel, which will calibrate itself
Calibrating your monitor in order to maximize color accuracy is considered an inevitable chore for graphics professionals, but here comes Eizo with a defiant look on its face and a brand new 27-inch IPS display. The ColorEdge CG275W promises to do all the adjustments itself, eschewing the need for a separate calibration utility, and can even be set to do it overnight, freeing your creative mind to collect its much needed ration of Zs. Brightness maxes out at 270 nits, contrast is rated at 850:1, and there's a 6ms gray-to-gray response time, not bad for the traditionally slower IPS tech. DVI, DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort connectivity is augmented with a USB 2.0 hub, while the stand can tilt, rotate and swivel in typical Eizo fashion. You also get that fetching hood that's compatible with both portrait and landscape orientation. Shipping begins at the end of this month, with pricing varying by territory.
Eizo announces more detail on glasses-free 3D DuraVision LCD, releases more pics of this BBW
You admired its bezels two weeks ago when Eizo released the first details to the world, now wonder at its full specs and more details. The company has released a spec sheet confirming the 1920 x 1080 resolution and 23-inch size, also detailing how it works. The monitor uses a directional backlight and a time lag to effectively hit each eye individually through the same pixel, enabling that high resolution in a small panel but still delivering glasses-free performance. Eizo pledges no moiré, color distortion, or other issues typically seen in glasses-free displays, but this tech will surely not come cheap when it ships in the second quarter of 2011. How do we know? Anticipated applications for the FDF2301-3D include scanning electron microscopes and semiconductor inspections -- playing Killzone 3 is sadly not listed. %Gallery-110448%
Eizo's DuraVision LCD does glasses-free 3D at 1080p, is totally bezelriffic
Looking like something that escaped from the bridge of the U.S.S. Palomino is Eizo's DuraVision FDF2301-3D, a dark, menacing visage containing a 23-inch LCD. It sports a full HD resolution and can display content in 3D, but its real trick is that it can do so without glasses. Yes, deep within that dark and angular exterior is the necessary set of hardware to ensure that two eyes see two separate images, supposedly without any of the weirdness we've seen with other glasses-free displays. The penalty is of course its imposing bulk and what will surely be an imposing price. No cost has been set, but indications are that it will cost many thousands of dollars -- not that it'll ever hit retail.
Eizo rolls out 17-inch FlexScan T1751 multitouch monitor
Eizo may not be aiming this one directly at average consumers, but there's nothing stopping you from picking up its new 17-inch FlexScan T1751 monitor to make your industrial-style multitouch dreams come true. As you can sort of see above, this one can either be used upright or titled nearly flat, and it packs a non-widescreen, 5:4 aspect ratio -- albeit with a slightly disappointing 1,280 x 1,024 resolution. The monitor will work with a touch pen and gloved hands, however, and you'll get a decent 178 degree viewing angle, along with a 1,500:1 contrast ratio, a pair of built-in 0.5W speakers, a headphone jack and, true to its industrial nature, a non-scratch surface made of reinforced glass. No official word on a price or release date, unfortunately -- Eizo is simply telling folks to check with their local distributor for details.
Eizo 24-inch FlexScan S2433W-H debuts, inspires blank stares
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).[Via Akihabara]
Eizo 23-inch FlexScan EV2333W-H chooses DisplayPort, not HDMI
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
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.[Via FarEastGizmos]
Eizo debuts 56-inch 4k x 2k RadiForce LS560W LCD monitor
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
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).[Via Electronista]
Eizo introduces FlexScan S2432W-H LCD monitor with DisplayPort
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.[Via Engadget Spanish]
Eizo's C@T-one remote control mouse: wheel, reinvented
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.[Via Impress]
Eizo pitches new FlexScan HD2452W monitor at gamers
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.[Via BIOS]
Eizo lets loose 30-inch CG301W monitor with hardware calibration
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.[Via TG Daily]
EIZO's 24-inch FlexScan for the colorblind
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.[Via Akihabara News]
Eizo whips up FlexScan SX2761W / SX2461W LCD monitors
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).[Via Impress]Read - FlexScan SX2761WRead - FlexScan SX2461W
Eizo finally escapes the ugly with latest FORIS HD LCDs
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
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.[Via Engadget Japanese]
Eizo launches 24.1-inch ColorEdge CG241W LCD
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.[Via PCLaunches]
