EIZO Announces 24" FlexScan EV2485 USB Type-C IPS Monitor

EIZO Corporation today announced the release of the 24.1-inch FlexScan EV2485 - a frameless WUXGA (1920 x 1200) IPS monitor equipped with a USB Type-C terminal for improving productivity and comfort at the workplace or home office. The EV2485 is the sister model to the FlexScan EV2480 (1920 x 1080) and implements the same concept and features for productivity and comfort, but with an extended resolution of 1920 x 1200. This provides a solution for users to view web pages, documents, spreadsheets, and a range of business applications with minimal loss of screen real estate.

The monitor's 24.1-inch screen provides additional screen space when compared to only using a laptop screen, which contributes to improving efficiency by reducing the need to scroll or switch windows frequently. For example, when used together with a 14-inch laptop, users can effectively triple the screen space available to them.
The FlexScan EV2485 is equipped with a USB Type-C connection that allows users to display video, playback audio, transmit USB signals, and supply power to connected devices. This convenient multi-purpose connectivity makes it faster and easier to connect a laptop when moving between workstations or when working away from the office. It is also equipped with HDMI and DisplayPort inputs to provide users further flexibility.

Modern laptops are often limited in their connectivity options as a tradeoff for their enhanced portability. The EV2485's USB Type-C terminal provides users access to four USB Type-A ports for easily connecting peripherals such as an external keyboard, mouse, web camera, or storage device. In addition, the USB Type-C terminal delivers up to 70 watts for conveniently charging small desktop PCs and laptops, eliminating the need for an additional power supply unit.

Printing out work-related documents is less common in recent years due to increases in home offices, telecommuting, and security measures. To make reading digital documents more comfortable, Paper Mode reduces the amount of blue light emitted by the monitor, helping to prevent eye fatigue. When used in conjunction with the monitor's Auto EcoView dimming function, blue light is reduced by as much as 80%.

The EV2485 implements a virtually frameless design for a minimalistic aesthetic. In addition to sleek black, the cabinet is available in white for a color option that keeps the workspace feeling bright. Furthermore, EIZO provides cables to match the cabinet for full color coordination.

EIZO does not use paint or harmful chemicals in the EV2485's cabinet or stand. The monitor also made using recycled plastics and sustainable procured materials, boxed in recyclable packaging, and supported by a responsible after-service recycling system. These are part of EIZO's corporate efforts to maintain environmentally responsible business and manufacturing processes.

Availability

The FlexScan EV2485 will begin shipping in September 2021.

Actually 4:3 might be even better for office work, but is very restricting for almost everything else.

Mmmmm 32" 4:3 monitor...

16:10 is great for office use but pretty much nobody makes modern 16:10 displays with high refresh rates. I switched from my Benq 1920x1200 24" display to 16:9 27" 1080p 144hz simply because I wanted better compatibility with PC and PS4 (could never get 1:1 scaling to work on Benq).

Not so much better performance-wise (maybe with the upcoming USB/TB 4/5?), but the best thing IMHO is pushing forward a standard that can reduce cable clutter and make it so you only have to have C cables for everything instead of a different size, type, length etc of cable for every peripheral under the sun.

Also saving some space on the backplanes of GPU's could make more room for additional ports or reducing the size of said backplanes :)

16:10 ratio monitor is so good but 1920 x 1200 is meh. I rather buy a 25" 2560x1440. So much better.
