SX
If the size doesn’t impress you …
Large Screen LCD Monitors

… the color will.

The SX series of FlexScan monitors come in three impressively large screen sizes: 24", 27", and a
huge 30". If you use desktop-hungry applications such
as those for DTP, CAD/CAM, image editing, and web
design, you’ll appreciate the extra space this gives you to
work. But as stunning as these sizes are, the image qual-
ity is even more so. EIZO’s internal circuitry ensures
accurate gamma curves and brightness uniformity. You
also get the benefit of extremely precise color control.
The FlexScan SX series: prepare to be impressed.

Widescreen Monitors in Three Large Sizes
EIZO’s FlexScan SX monitors give you the profes-
sional performance you need in the large screen
sizes you crave. The 30" SX3031W provides an
astounding 2560 × 1600 native resolution, while the
27" SX2761W and 24" SX2461W both offer an im-
pressive 1920 × 1200. The combination of expansive
screen size and superb image quality makes these
monitors the ideal choice for all types of imaging
applications.
Wide Color Gamut
The 24", 27", and 30" monitors reproduce 95%,
96%, and 97% respectively, of the Adobe RGB
color space, allowing
them to display almost
every possible color
in photos taken in
this mode. They also
have an sRGB mode
that ensures accurate
reproduction of colors
in this narrower color
space, such as those
intended for web pages
or digital photos taken
in sRGB mode.
Brightness and Chroma Uniformity with DUE
Fluctuations in brightness and chroma on differ-
ent 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) effectively
compensates for these errors, resulting in a much
more uniform image.
12-Bit Gamma, 16-Bit Processing
All three monitors incorporate
EIZO’s latest application specific
integrated circuit (ASIC), which
employs a 12-bit look-up table with a
color palette of 68 billion colors from
which the most appropriate 16.7 million (8 bits) are
displayed. This ASIC also uses 16-bit internal pro-
cessing for smooth display of grayscale tones, espe-
cially in the dark areas of an image.
Detailed Color Control
Big screen size is great, but
doesn’t mean a lot without a
wide range of color control
functions. FlexScan SX moni-
tors let you adjust not just
brightness, but gamma, satu-
ration, hue, gain, and color
temperature as well. You can
even fine-tune a single color,
by adjusting its RGBCMY
hue and saturation settings.
More Effective Software Calibration
With many large screen monitors, software cali-
bration of the computer’s
graphics board is vital for
achieving the desired color
values. The SX monitors,
however, already provide
extensive color adjustment
in the OSD menu. This
means that any software calibration you do will
contribute to a much better grayscale ramp — a key
indicator of how well dark tones can be displayed as
well as overall color accuracy.
Fast Response Time
An overdrive circuit is included to reduce midtone
response time and ensure that movies and other
moving images look clean and sharp with an abso-
lute minimum of blurring and ghosting.
Always the Ideal Brightness
The BrightRegulator function keeps the monitor at
the ideal brightness level under all lighting condi-
tions. A sensor on the front bezel takes readings of
the ambient brightness and signals the backlight

to adjust the screen brightness accordingly. Two
user-determined reference points are used to allow
the monitors to more accurately achieve the desired
brightness in both brightly and dimly lit rooms
(FlexScan SX2761W and SX2461W).
Flexible Screen Positioning
The stands for all three models let
you set the screen to the optimum
viewing position with wide-range
height adjustment, 40° tilt, and
70° swivel. They also pivot 90° for
changing to portrait mode.
Picture-By-Picture
The SX3031W takes advantage of its large screen
size by letting you display the outputs from two dif-
ferent computers
on the left and
right halves of the
screen — essen-
tially giving you
two 1200 × 1600
monitors in one.
This eliminates
the usual bezels
between monitors
and toggling be-
tween computers.
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 func-
tion 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.
Fine Contrast Mode Selection
For optimum viewing of different kinds of content,
EIZO’s Fine Contrast function includes modes for
office applications (Text mode), video clips (Movie
mode), graphics (Picture mode), web browsing (sRGB
mode), and user-defined settings (Custom mode).
Switching between modes is done by pressing a button
on the front panel or by using the bundled Screen-
Manager Pro for LCD software, which supports auto-
matic mode switching such as changing to Text mode
when an e-mail application is selected.
Color Vision Deficiency Simulation
To accommodate
people with red-green
color vision deficiency
(protanopia and deu-
teranopia), care must be
taken in choosing color
schemes for things like
maps, signage, indica-
tor lights, etc. The
FlexScan SX2761W and
SX2461W can instantly
simulate how still and
moving images appear
to people with color
vision deficiency, and
do so much faster than
software-based tools
that slow down with
larger files.
Zoner Photo Studio
This popular editing software
takes you through the whole
process of managing and editing
digital photos. A special “EIZO
Edition” includes color manage-
ment features to achieve true
colors on-screen and on paper.
(Bundled with FlexScan SX2761W
and SX2461W and compatible with
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista.)
Accessories
For additional functionality, attachable speakers,
panel protectors, and other accessories are available.
