Wide Colour Gamut
The monitor reproduces 98% of the Adobe RGB colour space so it can display most colours in a digital photo taken in Adobe RGB mode. Furthermore, it also has an sRGB: sRGB mode to accurately reproduce colours in this narrower but commonly used colour space, such as those seen on web pages or digital photos taken in sRGB mode.

10-bit Simultaneous Display
The FlexScan SX2462W employs a 12-bit look-up table with a colour palette of 68 billion colours from which the most appropriate 16.7 million (8 bits) are displayed. It also uses 16-bit internal processing for smooth display of greyscale tones without banding. What’s more, using the DisplayPort input, this monitor displays 10-bit colour* which is more than 1 billion colours shown simultaneously. This is 64 times greater than the 16.7 million colours of 8-bit display.

*A graphics board and software which support 10-bit output are necessary for 10-bit display.

Brightness and Colour 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) helps to compensate for these errors, resulting in a much more uniform image.

Preset Modes
Different types of creative work require different colour settings. To ensure you get the right settings without having to fiddle with the OSD menu, this monitor comes with three customizable preset modes for assigning your own values for brightness, contrast, color temperature, and gamma. In addition, Text, Picture, Movie, and sRGB modes are also included. Modes switch automatically with the bundled ScreenManager Pro for LCD software, or manually with the press of a button.

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

More Effective Software Calibration
In creative design work, Software Calibration is typically necessary to achieve accurate colour values. The EIZO FlexScan SX2462W, however, already provides extensive colour adjustment functions in the OSD menu. This means that any software calibration you do will help to achieve a very precise greyscale ramp for improved display of dark tone details as well as overall colour accuracy.

Brightness and Colour Temperature Stability
To ensure proper display of colour, the FlexScan SX2462W comes equipped with patented EIZO technology that stabilizes the monitor’s brightness level after startup or coming out of power saving mode. Furthermore, a new temperature sensor detects and automatically suppresses changes in colour and brightness caused by fluctuations in the surrounding temperature.

Fast Response Time
An overdrive circuit is included to reduce grey-to-grey response time to 5 ms and ensure that movies and other moving images look clean and sharp with an absolute minimum of blurring and ghosting.

Flexible Screen Positioning
The stand lets you set the screen to the optimum viewing position with 82 mm height adjustment, 40° tilt, and 70° swivel. It also pivots 90° for changing to portrait mode.

Scale Non-Native Resolutions to Full Screen
When working at less than native resolution or aspect ratios other than 16:10, you can use the scaling function to enlarge your work proportionally or expand it to fill the screen. This is especially useful when using the monitor’s single link input. You can then smooth or sharpen the image in five increments.

Colour Vision Deficiency Simulation
To avoid creating inconveniences and even dangers for those with colour vision deficiency, care must be taken when choosing colour schemes for everyday items such as maps, road signs, web sites, and power indicator lights. This monitor can instantly simulate how still and moving images appear to people with colour vision deficiency, and do so much faster than software-based tools that slow down with larger files.

Optimized Brightness with Auto EcoView
A sensor on the front of the monitor measures ambient light and optimizes the screen’s brightness to ensure the screen is never too bright or too dark. If preferred, Auto EcoView can be deactivated in the OSD menu.

On-Screen Button Guide
Graphics professionals often work in a dimly lit environment which can make it difficult to read a monitor's adjustment buttons. The SX2462W, however, includes an on-screen button guide that labels what each of the buttons are for so you can easily navigate the OSD menu.

Energy and Environmental Efficiency Index
New to the FlexScan SX2462W, a user-activated EcoView Index displays the level of power savings and equivalent amount of CO2 reduction compared to using the monitor without Auto EcoView activated and with the screen set at a brightness of 100%.

Commitment to Quality
While 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. This allows EIZO to keep close control over production quality and offer the industry’s only 5-year manufacturer’s limited warranty.

Customer Assurance
A five-year warranty offers a long service life, and compliance with leading industry standards such as TCO Display 5.1 and TÜV Ergonomics ensures a better working environment. The EIZO Eco Products 2009 label indicates this product meets strict internal requirements for design, manufacturing, packaging, and usage.
