Eizo FlexScan S1703 17" WLED 5:4 Eye Fatigue Reduction Monitor, Black

The FlexScan S1703 is ideal for corporate offices looking for a cost-efficient 17-inch square monitor (5:4 aspect ratio). It features an environmentally-friendly LED backlight. Prevents Eye Fatigue in Dimly-Lit OfficesFine Contrast includes an EyeCare mode that reduces the screen's brightness to just 3 cd/m2. This ultra-low brightness helps prevent eye fatigue and increase productivity when working in an environment with very dim ambient lighting such as a CAD studio.Closely Simulates Documents and BooksWith office and home spending increasing amounts of time viewing documents and books on their monitors rather than in printed form, Paper mode simulates the look of paper. Paper mode makes reading documents and ebooks more comfortable and thereby reduces eyestrain.What is Paper Mode?Simply put, it is a mode which adjusts the brightness, contrast ratio, and color temperature of a monitor to simulate those of printed paper. Over the course of a work day PC users must constantly adjust to the difference between how monitors and paper appear. This overworks the muscles of the eyes and is thought to be a source of eye fatigue and stress. Paper mode was developed to alleviate the eye fatigue and stress that PC users feel.Color Temperature, Brightness and the Effect on Blue LightIn the visible light spectrum, blue light has wavelengths adjacent to ultraviolet light. Compared to the factory preset setting of 6,500 K of typical LCD monitors, Paper Mode is closer to the spectral distribution with long reddish wavelengths so it reduces the amount of blue light, a cause of eye fatigue.The combination of Paper Mode and the Auto EcoView brightness adjustment function reduces blue light even more. In a monitor with an LED backlight where Paper Mode and Auto EcoView were used, the blue light was measured and found to have only 1/6th the intensity of the factory setting.Optimized Brightness with Auto EcoViewThe Auto EcoView function is a sensor on the front of the monitor that measures ambient light and optimizes the screen's brightness to a level akin to viewing a sheet of paper under typical office lighting conditions. Since the screen is never too bright, eye strain is reduced while power consumption is cut by up to 50% compared to operating the monitor with Auto EcoView turned off and set to the default factory brightness of 100%.Digital and Analog InputsWith both DVI-D and D-Sub mini 15-pin inputs, you can use a computer that has either a digital or an analog graphics board (or both if connected to two computers), and quickly switch between the inputs via a front panel button.10-Bit Gamma CorrectionThis technology helps achieve accurate color by converting the 8-bit PC data to 10-bit, and assigning the ideal gamma values with a 10-bit look-up table (LUT) then returning the data to 8-bit format for display.Built-In Speakers0.5-watt speakers are tucked away at the back of the monitor and out of view so you can enjoy sound while bezel size is kept to a minimum. A headphone jack is also built into the monitor.Energy Savings across the NetworkEIZO's EcoView NET power management software provides centralized control over the power settings of monitors on a network. With EcoView NET, a systems administrator can confirm the settings for each monitor on the network, turn the power on or off, and if necessary, take measures to combat eye fatigue such as adjust the brightness or activate Auto EcoView. EcoView NET is available from EIZO distributors.LED BacklightWith an energy-saving LED backlight, the FlexScan S1703 uses only 9 watts during typical operation. The LED backlight does not contain any mercury for minimal environmental impact when the monitor is eventually disposed of.Commitment to QualityWhile outsourcing production is now common practice in the monitor industry, EIZO continues to manufacture its products the same way it has throughout its 40 year history - with its own staff at its own factories.Compliance with International LabelsMeets the most stringent international labels for ergonomics and energy savings like TCO Certified Displays 6.0, EPA Energy Star, and EPEAT Gold.
