The Next Display Interface
Since the early 1980's, we have been producing quality digital products and incorporating digital technology into our superior, high quality CRT monitors. As we enter a new interface era, EIZO is proud to introduce the L23 and the L34 as our latest offerings in the flat panel market segment.
Both models incorporate our original D3 technology which represents the accumulation of EIZO's expertise in digital and analog display technology, and provides the differentiation that will create a strong impact in the display monitor industry.
Dual Inputs and Input Priority Switch
As with most EIZO FlexScan CRT monitors, the L23 and L34 are equipped with dual input connectors and an input priority function. This means that two computers can be simultaneously connected to the L23 or L34 and priority can be given to either computer. Switching between the two computers can be done conveniently using a button on the front panel. Each input can support Plug & Play(VESA DDC 1/2B ) independently.
Space-Saving Cable Design
One of the benefits that LCDs offer is their compact, space-saving design. The L23 and L34 occupy only about 40% of the depths of CRTs with the equivalent screen size.
The EIZO original D3 ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) greatly improves the control of the brightness level and color reproduction for superior image quality on the L23 and L34.
D3 encompasses EIZO's advanced skill in three key areas of digital display technology: Digital Signal Processing, Digital Image Control and Digital FlexScan.

Automatic Contrast Adjustment
When input signal levels of an LCD monitor are too high or too low, it is difficult to reproduce exact colors. EIZO has incorporated an automatic contrast adjustment function that amplifies the video input for excellent color reproduction.
True Color Capability
The EIZO D3 ASIC incorporates FRC (Frame Rate Control ) circuitry which expands the color capabilities beyond the panel's capacity of 260,000 colors to 16 million colors.
New Brightness Control
EIZO's customized brightness control uses a microprocessor and an inverter to control the oscillation of the CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Light) backlight. This system makes it possible for a high brightness level of 200 cd/m2 to remain stable with a wide (20 - 100%) adjustment range.
Auto Brightness Control System
To eliminate any brightness fluctuation, the EIZO Auto Brightness Control System directly monitors changes in the surrounding and backlight temperatures and automatically adjusts the divergence to the brightness default setting or the user defined level.
Variable Border Intensity
For maximum viewing comfort, EIZO has incorporated a function that allows the user to change the border intensity level in 64 graduations. So, when using the L23 or L34 in display modes smaller than the panel's capacity, such as 640 ✕ 480 or 800 ✕ 600, the user can reduce the contrast level between the background and the cabinet.
Full Screen Mode
In any application which uses 640 ✕ 480 or 8000 ✕ 600 display modes, the EIZO D3 ASIC has a specific interpolation function that allows for these modes to be displayed to almost a full screen.
Auto Adjustment and the EIZO ScreenManagerTM
To simplify any screen adjustment, EIZO has incorporated an Auto Adjustment function similar to the one found in our CRT monitor range. The D3 ASIC takes a sampling of the computer's timing and calculates the best screen position. If further adjustments are desired, the EIZO ScreenManager can be used to refine the image.
*EIZO has also included a software adjustment program on a floppy disk for fast, convenient setup.
Standard PC Compatible Interface
The L23 and L34 support a wide range of standard analog RGB input signals. These are calculated by the microprocessor and D3 ASIC and are digitally processed to create the perfect image. The L23 and L34 require no special graphics boards or dedicated controllers to drive them and they can be connected with ease in the same manner as a standard CRT monitor.
Multiple Input Signals Supported
The EIZO D3 ASIC automatically adjusts and amplifies the input signal to the best level in order to optimize the screen performance for various kinds of input signals from a resolution of 640 ✕ 480 to 1024 ✕ 768.
Ergonomic issues have increasingly been important factors in the design of EIZO monitors, and the L23 and L34 incorporate many collective advantage over traditional monitors : a more compact and space-saving design, lighter weight, lower power use, and lower EMI (Electromagnetic Interference ) emissions. Additionally, our expertise in the field of making a better working environment has led us to incorporate further quality, usability and safety features.
Image Quality
High contrast, distortion free images are displayed on the anti-glare screens of the L23 and the L34, providing a superior image quality and sharper definition of text for improved viewing characteristics.
Wide Viewing Angle
The L23 and L34 utilize liquid crystal panels which have 140º horizontal, and110º and 120º vertical wide viewing angles respectively, making the screens visible from a variety of angles.
Wide Angle Adjustment
Both the L23 and L34 are ideal for an office environment where space is limited. The tilt and swivel stand can be rotated up and down and to the left and right, allowing for a wide sphere of adjustment possibilities and viewing comfort.
Energy Saving
Newly developed LCD power circuits lower the power consumption of the L23 and L34 to a mere 30 Watts when in regular use.
With the built-in PowerManagerTM function, power consumption drops to less than 5 Watts when the displays are turned on but not in use. The lower heat emissions lessen the need for office air conditioning and contribute to a reduction in electricity consumption.
Compliance With Global Ergonomic Standards
To add to the superior quality and safety of the L23 and L34, we have complied with the
following international certifications:
..
VTUV Rheinland/Ergonomie for the control of radiation (MPR II ), and
VISO 9241-3 and -8 for character definition and color uniformity.
VTCO 95 for the control of electromagnetic waves, energy reduction, electrical safety in the work environment, and recyclability.
VCE mark to effect electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in the crowded office environment.
Safety-Lock Device
The L34 comes equipped with a safety-lock device for security.
