UK computer magazine PC PRO reviewed the FORIS FX2431 and gave it their 'Recommended' and 'A List' award, saying "it makes mainstream TFTs look pale and limp... staggeringly deep blacks and crisp, even whites... you'll rarely see a finer 24" TFT than the Eizo Foris FX2431".

Multiple Ports for PC and AV Connectivity
The FORIS FX2431’s versatile connections include dual HDMI inputs to connect with devices such as Blu-ray players, HD game consoles, and computers. Composite, component and S-Video inputs support signals from audio-visual (AV) equipment such as DVD players, satellite tuners, or Sony’s PSP (PlayStation Portable). Up to four PCs can be connected at once using digital or analog PC inputs and the HDMI inputs.

Share Peripherals between PCs with Auto USB
The FX2431’s Auto USB selection feature and two upstream USB ports allow for simultaneous sharing of one keyboard and mouse between two connected computers. Auto USB selection reduces desktop clutter since you only need one mouse and keyboard to use your PCs, and it offers the added convenience of not having to reconnect your peripherals every time you switch computers.

Enhanced Screen Sizes
EIZO’s new FX2431 features a “Portable mode” connection that lets you plug in your PSP™ (PlayStation® Portable) and play games on the monitor’s generous 24-inch screen. It also comes with an AV connection that lets you display 480i/p format and other low resolution games at up to twice their original size without distortion. You can set the monitor to automatically resize PC and video signals vertically and horizontally, or so that you can adjust game signals manually.

Cylinder Sound Solution
Built-in 2 watt stereo speakers let you get the most out of games, movies, and digital music by delivering clear, well-balanced sound. The elegant and sturdy cylindrical speaker cabinets provide an immersive sound experience.

Fast Gameplay with Thru Mode
To keep up with fast-paced gaming, a Thru mode reduces the time it takes for a signal to appear on the screen to a mere 1/60th of a second. This is equivalent to just one frame of a progressive signal, or two frames of an interlace signal, which means you can instantly shoot enemies in SEGA’s Bayonetta.

Flawless 1080/24p HD Playback
To enjoy video playback as smooth as you would see in a cinema or gaming arcade, the FX2431’s dual HDMI inputs support a video signal display rate of 1080/24p frames-per-second (48Hz). This support eliminates motion artifacts known as judder in fast-paced gaming or movie scenes with panning or scrolling movements.

Clear Image with I/P Conversion
The FX2431’s I/P (Interlace/Progressive) conversion minimizes picture artifacts that normally occur with interlace video signals. By detecting the amount of change between interlaced film frames and applying the right amount of I/P conversion, the FX2431 ensures your video images are displayed with exceptional clarity.

Real ImageRediscover 8-bit Games with Real Image
Retro gaming has never been so fun thanks to EIZO’s Real Image feature which reduces blur and displays 8-bit games with remarkable clarity.

Remote Control, Direct Command
The FX2431 comes with an HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Council) compliant remote control makes it easy to use your HDMI-linked AV entertainment system. The remote offers full control of the monitor’s OSD menu, plus one-touch access to Picture-in-Picture, screen size, color adjustment, and EcoView Index. Switch between your frequently used PC, video, and HDMI sources by pressing the remote’s input selection buttons.    

PC and Video Viewing Modes
Several PC and AV viewing modes are available for optimum viewing of text, digital photos, movies and games. Use your FX2431 remote control to navigate between viewing modes with just the touch of a button.

Picture-in-Picture

Displaying content from a PC on the main screen while showing video input on a sub-screen, Picture-in-Pic­ture lets you do two things at once — such as checking email while enjoying a Blu-ray video. Personalize the layout of your PinP by selecting and repositioning the sub-window using the monitor’s remote control.

Vibrant, True-to-life Colour
The FX2431’s wide gamut reproduces 96% of the Adobe RGB colour space for true-to-life colour when viewing digital photos taken in a camera’s Adobe RGB mode.

Auto EcoView Optimized Brightness
An Auto EcoView feature detects ambient lighting conditions and automatically adjusts the backlight to display your media with optimized brightness. Auto EcoView not only saves electricity, but also offers the ergonomic benefit of preventing eyestrain.

Energy Efficiency Gauge
To assist you in operating the monitor at optimum energy efficiency, a gauge called EcoView Index indicates energy consumption in correlation with the screen’s brightness.

Zero Watts When Turned Off
When the power save mode and off timer are set, this monitor consumes less than 1.3 watts. When turned off via the main power switch, it con­sumes no electricity at all.

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 environment for work and play. The EIZO Eco Products 2006 label indicates this product meets strict internal requirements for design, manufacturing, packaging, usage and power consumption.
