Upplands Väsby, Sweden, March 4, 2009 – Eizo Europe AB (“EIZO”) today announced two 22" widescreen LCD monitors, the FlexScan S2232W and FlexScan S2242W.

The FlexScan S2242W offers a native resolution of 1920 × 1200, the same resolution offered by a 24.1" wide format monitor. The monitor’s 0.247 mm pixel pitch and display of 103 pixels per inch reveals 24-inches of information on a 22" screen.
Occupying 10% less desk space than a typical 24.1" monitor, the FlexScan S2242W is ideal for financial trading or corporate offices where a 24.1" monitor is desired, but cannot be installed due to space constraints.
Also unveiled, the FlexScan S2232W has a standard native resolution of 1680 × 1050 and the same performance as the FlexScan S2242W. Both models employ vertical aligned (VA) panel technology, offer wide 178° viewing angles, brightness of 350 cd/m2, 1200:1 contrast ratio, and a 16:10 aspect ratio.
For reduced operating costs, increased user comfort and minimized impact on the environment, these monitors incorporate a wide array of “EcoView” Features. One such feature is Auto EcoView for automatic setting of brightness to the ideal level. With Auto EcoView turned on, the FlexScan S2242W and FlexScan S2232W operate with improved visual ergonomics and greater energy efficiency than with it turned off, typically consuming 33 watts and 42 watts, respectively.1
These monitors have a feature called EcoView Index to encourage environmental consciousness while working. EcoView Index displays an on-screen index that correlates the level of power savings with the monitor’s brightness setting. EcoView features also include a selection of ergonomic stands for proper viewing posture, and EIZO’s EyeCare software utility which prompts workers to take scheduled breaks to rest their eyes.
Designed to reduce the electricity consumption of up to 2000 monitors, EIZO’s EcoView NET power management software features centralized control over network monitor’s power settings. Decreasing the power consumption of network monitors can lead to significant long-term energy savings while also reducing an institution’s carbon footprint. Compatible with Microsoft® XP, Vista®, Server 2003 and 2008, EcoView NET’s software’s settings include turning the monitors’ power and Auto EcoView on or off. 2
The FlexScan S2242W and FlexScan S2232W carry the 2009 version of EIZO’s in-house environmental label – EIZO Eco Products (EEP). Since its inception in 2002, EEP has set strict internal requirements for manufacturing and packaging. As EIZO Eco Products 2009 labeled products, the monitors do not consume any power when turned off, use less than 1.5 watts in power save mode, and have their eco profiles available on eizo.com.
Both models feature a wide color gamut that reproduces 95% of Adobe RGB. For digital camera photo enthusiasts, these monitors are compatible with the optional accessory EIZO EasyPIX, a color matching tool that includes EasyPIX software and EIZO’s EX1 color sensor. With EasyPIX, users can measure and save the monitor’s settings to make color profiles for simple monitor and photo print color matching.
Additional Features

· DVI input level adjustment to compensate for image quality degradation that may occur when connecting a monitor with a signal switch box or via a long cable.
