Eizo FlexScan EcoView Motion Sensor for Power Savings, Optimized Brightness with Auto EcoView

Motion Sensor for Power Savings

EIZO’s new EcoView Sense feature unites conve- nience with savings by ensuring that these monitors automatically conserve power when they are not in use. EcoView Sense is an integrated motion sensor that prompts the monitor to switch to power save mode when it does not detect the user for 40 sec- onds, and then resume normal operation when the user returns. To accurately enter and stay in power save mode while the user is away from the monitor, EcoView Sense also differentiates between a still object like an empty chair and the movement caused by general office activity.

EcoView Sense automatically signals the screen to activate and stay on, or switch to power save mode by detecting whether the user is present or not.

Inside EIZO R&D

Original EIZO-developed (patent pending) algorithms

allow EcoView Sense’s automatic detection function to differenti- ate between animate and inani- mate objects as well as people just passing by. The sensor’s

highly accurate position tracking has been achieved by adopting a special lens that suppresses diffused reflections of infrared rays and through factory-per- formed sensor adjustment on each monitor.

Optimized Brightness with Auto EcoView

A built-in Auto EcoView sensor measures ambient light and optimizes the screen’s brightness to ideal levels in both brightly and dimly lit rooms. This results in improved visual ergonomics and reduced power consumption by up to 40% compared to when the sensor is turned off.

Zero Watts When Turned Off

When the power save mode and off timer are set, these monitors consume less than 0.7 watts. When turned off via the main power switch, they consume no electricity at all.

Confirm Power Savings with EcoView Index

An EcoView Index displays the level of power savings in correlation with the monitor’s brightness to encour- age environmental consciousness while working.

When EcoView Index is fully illuminated, the monitor is operat- ing at optimum energy efficiency.

EyeCare Manager

EIZO’s EyeCare Manager prompts workers to take scheduled breaks to avoid eye fatigue caused by pro- longed monitor use. EyeCare also totals and displays on-screen the monitor’s usage hours for each day and month to promote worker appreciation of improved work habits.

First TCO Displays 5.0 Certified Monitors

These are among the world’s first TCO Displays

5.0certified monitors. This certification addresses ergonomics, emissions, and ecology with new cri- teria for product energy efficiency consistent with Energy Star 4.0 requirements, as well as enhanced monitor and packaging recyclability. These monitors also received the Green Electronics Council and US EPA consumer electronics environmental assessment program’s highest rating: EPEAT Gold.

 

Product Life Cycle Ecology

These monitors debut an innovative compact design that reduces the number of internal components, making them thinner and lighter than previous FlexScan 20" and 24" widescreen models. This allows the monitors to be shipped in smaller con- tainers which use between 80% to 100% recycled material. These considerations made during product development, in tandem with the monitors’ EcoView

Compared to a previ- ous FlexScan 24" widescreen monitor, the FlexScan EV2303W’s slimmed-down cabinet design cuts the use and weight of sheet metal components, shown here, by up to 90%.
