Eizo presenta FlexScan T2351W, monitor professionale da 23 pollici con multitouch

Da sempre la giapponese Eizo è famosa per saper produrre monitor di alta qualità destinati ad un’utenza professionale. Nelle ultime ore ecco arrivare il comunicato della presentazione di un nuovo interessante modello: FlexScan T2351W-L.

Il display è un LCD da 23 pollici FullHD con fattori di luminosità e contrasto rispettivamente di 265 cd/m22 e 3000:1. L’angolo di visuale è di 178° ed il monitor può essere orientato come meglio lo si desidera mentre, per quanto riguarda gli ingressi video, ecco presenti porte D-Sub (15-pin), DVI-D (24-pin) e HDMI.

La vera novità per Eizo è però l’introduzione della tecnologia multitouch; si tratta infatti del primo display della casa giapponese ad integrare tale caratteristica la quale va a completare un prodotto già di altissima qualità.

EIZO FlexScan T2351W-L sarà in vendita a partire dal 15 ottobre prossimo. Per ora la commercializzazione è prevista solo in Giappone ad un prezzo di circa 70.000 Yen (650 euro). Aspettiamo notizie sull’eventuale data di commercializzazione del prodotto anche nel resto del mondo.

Di seguito il comunicato ufficiale.

Hakusan, Japan, September 9, 2010 – Eizo Nanao Corporation (TSE: 6737) today announced the FlexScan T2351W, its first multitouch monitor. The FlexScan T2351W combines superb image quality, durability, and a design that is optimized for multitouch, making it ideal for schools, libraries, offices, and homes.

The FlexScan T2351W supports multitouch capabilities of Windows 7. Multitouch provides an intuitive way to use applications without a mouse or keyboard.

The FlexScan T2351W features a VA (vertical alignment) panel with a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080. The 23-inch screen offers ample space to maneuver when tapping, scrolling, dragging, pinching, spinning, etc. The wide horizontal and vertical viewing angles of 178° ensure two people can comfortably view the screen while sitting side-by-side such as in a school setting. Brightness is 265 cd/m2 and contrast ratio is 3000:1.

The monitor debuts a new cabinet design featuring a “LaidBack” stand. With this stand, the bottom of the bezel rests on the desktop like a notebook PC and tilts back in six stages from 15° to 65°. This allows the user to look almost directly down at the screen and comfortably touch it without having to extend his/her arm.

The touch panel technology used is optical imaging technology which accepts input from a bare or gloved hand as well as a touch pen. The non-scratch touch surface is made of reinforced glass with a hardness of 6 Mohs, the same hardness as titanium, to ensure it has the durability to withstand use in schools and public access areas.

DVI-D and D-Sub inputs allow the FlexScan T2351W to be connected to PCs with digital and analog graphics boards respectively. An HDMI input is also included for full HD connectivity with audio-visual devices such as gaming consoles and Blu-ray disc players.

Six preset modes are included to ensure the color settings are ideal for any application: Cinema, Paper, sRGB, Game, and two modes for user adjustable settings. Paper mode simulates printed paper and is included to help prevent eyestrain when reading textbooks or novels in ebook format or documents.

Game mode activates two EIZO features called “Power Resolution” and “Power Gamma.” Power Resolution makes the details in both low and high resolution games look clearer and sharper. Power Gamma applies a special gamma curve to games and other animated images that amplifies the feeling of contrast to make them look more three dimensional. Other features that optimize the monitor’s performance for gaming are a gray-to-gray response time of just 7 ms and an input lag of less than one frame

With the bundled ScreenManager Pro for LCD utility software*, any preset mode can be assigned to an application so that when the application is opened, the screen automatically changes to its assigned mode.

For amateur digital photography enthusiasts, this monitor is compatible with EIZO EasyPIX, an optional color matching tool for simple color matching between the monitor and photo prints. EIZO EasyPIX measures and saves the monitor’s settings and creates a color profile. It consists of color matching software and EIZO’s EX1 color sensor.

For photo editing, gaming, and other tasks where color display is critical, the FlexScan T2351W includes 10-bit gamma correction. This function uses a 10-bit look-up table with a palette of more than one billion colors to select the most appropriate 16.7 million colors for smooth display of color gradations without banding.

Additional Features

•0.35 watt internal speaker and a headphone jack.

•Auto EcoView brightness sensor that reads the ambient lighting and adjusts the screen’s brightness to the ideal level.

•EcoView Index gauge that encourages environmental consciousness by indicating power savings from using Auto EcoView.

•EPEAT Gold, Energy Star 5.0, and TCO Displays 5.1 compliance.

•Three-year manufacturer’s limited warranty.

•Compatibility with EIZO EcoView NET software which gives administrators centralized control over the power settings of all FlexScan monitors on a network.
