Eizo has announced a range of new professional LCD displays with a range of features targeting back offices and trading rooms. The new series consists of the FlexScan S2031W and the FlexScan S2431W.

The FlexScan S2031W is a 20in widescreen display with a native resolution of 1,680 x 1,050. The FlexScan S2431W ups the ante, as this is a 24in model with a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,200.

Both displays use VA panels and can be used in landscape or portrait mode. The S2031W has a brightness of 300cd/m² , a contrast ratio of 900:1 and a response time of 8ms. The S2431W has a brightness of 450 cd/m^2, a contrast ration of 1000:1 and finally an impressive response time of 6ms.

But the really interesting model is the HD2451W, which again is a 24in widescreen display that has been specifically designed for HD video content. It will de-interlace 1080i content and offers a contrast ratio of 3000:1. It shares the 6ms response time with the S2431W.

It has dual HDMI interfaces with HDCP protection, as well as a single DVI, D-sub, Japanese D4 (similar to component video but with sound) and support for composite and S-video inputs with separate analog audio inputs. It also has dual upstream USB ports

These new displays will be available in Japan on the 7^th of June. The HD2451W is expected to retail for around US$1,233, the S2431W for $945 and the S2031W for $492.
