Dual PC Inputs
A digital DVI-D
and an analog D-
sub connector are
both included, so
two computers can be connected at the same time. The
DVI-D input also features high-bandwidth digital con-
tent protection (HDCP) for the viewing of content from
HDCP devices.
Two USB Upstream and Downstream Ports
Two USB upstream ports at the back of the monitor
allow for connection to two computers, while two down-

by detecting the amount of change between frames and

only does the HD2441W handle standard 480i to 480p

crops the picture on all four sides to provide stable, un-
distorted viewing. This can take away as much as 10%
of the image — even when viewed at full HD resolution.
The HD2441W, on the other hand, features an industry-
first 16:9 Full mode that eliminates cropping, allowing
the image to be seen in its entirety.
Images in Overdrive with Minimum Delay
An overdrive circuit reduces midtone response time
to 6 ms and helps prevent ghosting during moving pic-
ture playback. This circuit has minimal effect on “input
lag” or the difference between the time a signal is input-
ted into the monitor and then shown on screen. Gamers
can rest assured that their movements and those of their
opponent are virtually synchronous with what they see
on the screen.
light or too dark to their ideal levels. With moving im-
ages it produces a dynamic contrast ratio of 3000:1,
resulting in deep blacks and more lifelike images.
Sharper Images with OutlineEnhancer
The OutlineEnhancer is a filter to sharpen any
blurred areas of an image. Filtering is done inside the
monitor rather than by software on the PC so Out-
lineEnhancer sharpens moving as well as still images in
real time. Seven degrees of adjustment are provided in
the OSD menu.
Rich Tonal Reproduction
While computer monitors display tones from pure
white to pure black in a range of 0 to 255, broadcast
media and entertainment equipment display these same
tones from 16 to 235. So when computer monitors are
used to display video or game content, images can often
look dull and washed out. The HD2441W, however, can
display video signals in the 16 to 235 range, so tones are
displayed exactly as intended.
16:9 Full Mode Eradicates Overscan
When you watch a TV broadcast or view video,
game or other content, you’re usually missing part of the
image. That’s because a process called “overscanning”

Natural-Looking Images
The HD2441W uses a next-genera-
tion ASIC (Application Specific Inte-
grated Circuit) specially developed by
EIZO for use in LCD TVs. This produces images that
look more natural by boosting contrast and reducing
blur around the edges of motion pictures.

PC and AV Connectivity
Dual HDMI Connectors and Support for 1080p
Two HDMI (High Defi nition Multimedia Interface)
connectors are provided
for connecting to the latest
HD entertainment equip-
ment — which means the usual tangle of AV wires can
be switched for a single slim cable accepting audio and
video signals up to 1080p.
The HD2441W also minimizes artifacts that nor-
mally occur during interlace/progressive (I/P) conversion
stream USB ports located at the side allow for connection
to two peripherals. This lets you use a single mouse and
keyboard, for example, to control both computers, and
cuts down on desktop clutter.
Single Audio Output for All Sound Sources
An audio output jack routes the
audio signal from any connected device
— computer, games console, HD DVD
player, etc. — to external speakers. This
further cuts down on cable clutter. An-
other jack is located on the side of the
monitor for connecting headphones.
PC and Video Viewing Modes
Several viewing modes are available for both computer
and AV sources, allowing you to select the best settings
for each. For PCs, there’s a choice of Text, Movie, Picture,
sRGB and Custom (user-defined), as well as WindowMov-
ie that displays media player software brighter than the
rest of the screen. For audio visual devices, there’s a choice
of Standard and Custom modes, as well as Soft mode for
movies and Dynamic mode for fast-action games.
Optimized Brightness
The BrightRegulator function detects changes in the
ambient brightness and signals the backlight to adjust
the screen brightness accordingly. This ensures the
screen is never too bright or too dark, thereby preventing
eye fatigue when playing games or watching videos.
Slide Bar
A touch-sensitive slide bar
simplifies navigation of the OSD
menu by doing away with the
need to press multiple buttons.
ArcSwing 2 Stand
This innovative stand offers a curved range of move-
ment so you can position it at eye level or at a low angle
akin to reading a book. In addition, it features a sturdy
base and a compartment for cable management.

Available in titanium silver, a white/silver combina-
