EIZO today announced the FlexScan EV2216W, an LED-backlit 22-inch monitor with EIZO-developed dimming technologies to eliminate screen flicker and reduce eye fatigue. The FlexScan EV2216W is the first EcoView monitor with a 22-inch screen and 1680 x 1050 native resolution (16:10 aspect ratio). The brightness dimming methods used with conventional LED-backlit monitors cause some users to see flicker which can result in eye fatigue. The FlexScan EV2216W incorporates an EIZO-developed solution that regulates brightness to make flicker unperceivable without compromising color stability. Even at just 1% of the maximum brightness the monitor remains flicker-free.
Five preset modes are included – sRGB, Movie, Paper, and two modes with user-adjustable settings. Paper mode simulates the look of printed paper to help prevent eye fatigue when reading documents. An ambient brightness sensor called Auto EcoView automatically adjusts the screen’s brightness in accordance with changes in the ambient brightness. It trims power usage while reducing eye fatigue that would otherwise result from a screen that is too bright or too dark. A presence sensor called EcoView Sense 2 detects when the user leaves the desk and automatically switches to power save mode.
When the user returns the monitor resumes normal operation. EcoView 2 detects not only the user’s movements but also body heat for increased accuracy. The monitor’s design is compact and space efficient. The right and left bezels are just 12.1 mm wide which saves desktop space and minimizes eye movement between screens in a multi-monitor environment. The power supply unit is built into the monitor. The FlexScan EV2216W comes with a choice of two stands. The monitor is also available without a stand for customers that have their own VESA-compatible mounting devices.
