EIZO FlexScan SX3031W 30" Widescreen LCD Monitor (discontinued)

EIZO FlexScan SX3031W

EIZO FlexScan SX3031W Features

Work in Comfort with 30" of Screen Space

The 30" screen with its native resolution of 2560 x 1600 gives you more than twice as many pixels to work with as a 20 or 21 inch monitor with a 1600 x 1200 resolution. Open up your DTP, CAD/CAM, graphic and web design applications and work in comfort without having to worry about your windows and palettes overlapping.

Wide Color Gamut

The FlexScan SX3031W has a color gamut that is 100% compared to NTSC. It also reproduces 97% of the Adobe RGB color space so it can display most colors in a photograph taken in Adobe RGB mode. Furthermore, it has an sRGB mode to accurately reproduce this narrower but commonly used color space. This ensures that colors meant for sRGB such as those used on web pages and any photos taken with a digital camera's sRGB mode will be reproduced on the screen as intended.

12-Bit Gamma, 16-Bit Internal Processing

The FlexScan SX3031W comes equipped with EIZO's latest integrated circuit which has a 12-bit look-up table with a color palette of 68 billion colors from which the most appropriate 16.7 million (8-bits) are displayed. It also features 16-bit internal processing for smooth display of grayscale tones, especially in dark areas of an image which typically are difficult for LCD monitors to display without banding.

Brightness and Color Uniformity with DUE

Fluctuations in brightness and chroma on different parts of the screen are characteristic of LCD panels. Generally, the larger the screen, the more noticeable these uniformity errors become. EIZO's Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE) effectively compensates for these errors, resulting in a much more uniform image.

Two Monitors in One with Picture-By-Picture

Increase your work efficiency by dividing the screen into two equal halves of 1200 x 1600 and displaying input from two computers simultaneously. No bezel between the two halves and no toggling back and forth between the two computers.

Detailed Color Control

The OSD menu offers adjustment of brightness, gamma, saturation, hue, gain and color temperature from 4,000 K to 10,000 K in 500 K increments. For fine-tuning of even a single color, the hue and saturation settings for red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow can be adjusted independently.

Dual DVI-D Inputs

Dual DVI-D inputs (digital) are included for connecting to two PCs. One input supports dual link for displaying resolutions up to the monitor's maximum of 2560 x 1600, and the other input is single link for resolutions up to 1920 x 1200. The single link input supports high bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP) for viewing of content from HDCP-equipped devices.

6 ms Midtone Response Time

To enhance moving image playback capabilities, an overdrive circuit is included. This circuit vastly improves the LCD panel's response time for changing between midtones or gray levels, which is necessary to display color images without blurring.

Scale Non-Native Resolutions to a Full Screen

When working in resolutions less than the native resolution or aspect ratios different than 16:10 you can still view work in full screen with the scaling function. This is especially useful when using the monitor's single link input. You can then smoothen or sharpen the image in five increments. You can also enlarge your image while maintaining your aspect ratio if preferred.

Fine Contrast

For optimum viewing of different kinds of content, EIZO's Fine Contrast function includes modes for office applications (Text mode), video clips (Movie mode), graphics (Picture mode), web browsing (sRGB mode), and user-defined settings (Custom mode). Switching between modes is done by pressing a button on the front panel or by using the bundled ScreenManager Pro for LCD software, which supports automatic mode switching such as changing to Text mode when an e-mail application is selected.

USB 2.0 Hub

This one upstream, two downstream hub facilitates high speed (480 MB/s) connections with other USB peripherals.

Free Mount Capability

Panel can be removed from its stand and mounted on VESA-compliant arms or stands.

Brightness Stabilization Function

Ensures stable brightness - necessary for the proper display of color - with EIZO patented technology. A drift correction sensor quickly stabilizes the brightness level after startup or coming out of power saving mode. Furthermore, the monitor detects and automatically compensates for brightness changes caused by surrounding temperatures and the passage of time.

Customer Assurance

A five-year warranty offers a long service life, and compliance with leading industry standards such as TCO'03 and TÜV Ergonomics ensures a better working environment. The EIZO Eco Products 2006 label indicates these products meet strict internal requirements for design, manufacturing, packaging, and usage, including the introduction of lead-free solder and chrome-free steel plates.
