Eizo introduces new widescreen monitors

Eizo extended its FlexScan line of widescreen LCD monitors with the introduction of the 20.1-inch FlexScan S2031W and the 24.1-inch FlexScan S2431W. The panels are specifically designed for business environments such as back offices and trading rooms and should offer increased horizontal screen space, brightness and color control, energy saving features and a sleek design, according to Eizo. The widescreen monitors employ the latest vertical alignment (VA) panel technology and come with a 16:10 aspect ratio (1680 × 1050 and 1920 × 1200 native resolutions for the S2031W and S2431W respectively).

The FlexScan S2031W has a brightness of 300 cd/m2 and contrast ratio of 900:1 while for the S2431 these figures are 450 cd/m2 and 1000:1 respectively. The viewing angles for both models are 178° horizontally and vertically, while the response times are 8 ms for the S2031W and 6 ms for the S2431W. Various color control options are available in the OSD menu including brightness, contrast, gamma, saturation, hue, gain, and color temperature and the 10-bit gamma correction produces a palette of more than one billion colors from which 16.7 million are displayed simultaneously.

Connectivity ports include one DVI-I input (digital/analog) and one D-Sub (analog) input, and a high speed USB 2.0 hub with two downstream ports. Audio capability is supplied with dual 0.5 watt speakers hidden at the bottom. The i-Sound L3 speaker unit is available as an accessory. The i-Sound L3 includes dual 0.9 watt speakers and attaches to the bottom of the bezel.

The FlexScan S2031W and FlexScan S2431W are now shipping, however date of availability varies by country.
