Eizo FlexScan T2351W-L review: Anti-glare coating gets the shaft

As 23-inch monitors go, the Eizo FlexScan T2351W-L is fairly unique. It eschews the traditional foot stand in favor of an adjustable lever, it steers clear of even the smallest inkling of anti-glare coating (AG), and its reinforced glass screen makes it a perfect candidate for the included multitouch touch-screen feature.

Still, at the end of the day, it's a 23-inch monitor priced at more than $1,000, so I can't blame you if reading that price and size combo elicits only the most dubious of responses. Is it worth that price? You'll need to check out … Read more

XXX X-rays: Look at the sacrum on that one!

Yes, it's a marketing gimmick, but it's a darn good one.

Japanese monitor maker Eizo has released a pin-up calendar of provocative X-ray images where see-through models are posed in highly suggestive poses.

The stiletto heels are a nice touch.

The company wasn't trying to create social commentary. It says it just wanted to catch people's attention. Mission accomplished.

The company says it used computer graphics instead of real models and in the process proved that beauty can be more than skin deep.

Eizo sells monitors to the medical market, as well as the publishing industry … Read more

Reviewed: A bulky Eizo and a brittle ViewSonic

Late last week I reviewed two very different monitors.

One, the 22-inch Eizo ColorEdge CG222w was the first professional grade monitor I've reviewed. And by professional, I mean, at $1,300, it easily prices itself out of most people's pocketbooks and should only be bought by pro artists that know exactly what they want.

The second was the 24-inch ViewSonic vg2427wm.

The Eizo uses an S-PVA panel that gives it wide viewing angles. It's also one heavy and bulky son of a gun at 24 pounds and definitely feels like $1,300 worth of hardware is encased … Read more

Eizo's pro monitor complicates things

I'll be completely honest: LCD computer monitors intended for graphics professionals are not my area of expertise. Most of the monitors I've reviewed have been consumer-focused.

Monitors like the Dell SP2309W and Samsung P2370, while great for gaming or just looking nice in your apartment (respectively), would not be caught dead on the desk of a graphics professional. (Of course, if I'd found a monitor could actually die at all, well, I probably would not be writing this, as the prospects of an inanimate object possessing a soul would be far too exciting to continue sitting at … Read more

Now, LCD monitors watch you

Eizo Nanao has announced the inclusion of an "EcoView Sense" feature into its just announced FlexScan monitors, the 20-inch EV2023W and the 23-inch EV2303W.

The EcoView feature allows the monitors--using motion detectors--to detect if a person is sitting in front of it.

If it senses for 40 seconds that no one is there, it puts the monitor into sleep mode. It then resumes normal operation when the user returns. For example, it won't be fooled by such shenanigans as leaving a cardboard cutout of yourself in front of it. It will only resume if there is movement … Read more

LCD monitor designed for the colorblind

This is one of those random facts that, if true, makes one wonder why technology hasn't caught up with reality: More than 200 million people worldwide are thought to be colorblind, according to some estimates, with more than 10 million of them in the United States. If even part of those statistics are accurate, it makes sense that companies would step up efforts to market products for that population.

Although technologies for the colorblind have been developed in the past, Japan's Eizo believes it has come up with a unique system that will allow colorblind individuals to "… Read more
