19" LCD Monitor

Optional LCD Panel Protector

This protector fits easily between the LCD screen and bezel, has a light transmission rate of more than 90%, and includes both an anti-glare coating side to reduce light reflection and a glossy side for crisper, more vibrant images.

What is Paper Mode?

Simply put, it is a mode which adjusts the brightness, contrast ratio, and color temperature of a monitor to simulate those of printed paper. Over the course of a work day PC users must constantly adjust to the difference between how monitors and paper appear. This overworks the muscles of the eyes and is thought to be a source of eye fatigue and stress. Paper mode was developed to alleviate the eye fatigue and stress that PC users feel.

Effect on Blue Light

In the visible light spectrum, blue light has wavelengths adjacent to ultraviolet light. Compared to the factory preset setting of 6,500 K of typical LCD monitors, Paper Mode is closer to the spectral distribution with long reddish wavelengths so it reduces the amount of blue light, a cause of eye fatigue.

19" LED-Backlit Monitor Saves Energy and Reduces Eye Fatigue

LED Backlight

With an energy-saving LED backlight, the FlexScan S1903 uses only 11 watts during typical operation. The LED backlight does not contain any mercury for minimal environmental impact when the monitor is eventually disposed of.

Digital and Analog Inputs

With both DVI-D and D-Sub mini

15-pin inputs, you can use a computer that has either a digital or an analog graphics board (or

DVI-D D-Sub both if connected to two computers), and quickly switch between the inputs via a front panel button.

Built-In Speakers

0.5-watt speakers are tucked away at the back of the monitor and out of view so you can enjoy sound while bezel size is kept to a minimum. A headphone jack is also built into the monitor.

*NTSC signal

Compliance with International Labels

Auto Image Adjustment

The monitor discerns the input signal from the PC and automatically adjusts the clock, phase, image location, size, etc. In addition, the signal cables that are bundled were developed by EIZO to reduce noise.

Viewing Comfort with an Ergonomic Stand

Adjust the screen to the most comfortable position with 100 mm height adjustment, 30° tilt, 70° swivel, and 90° rotation for portrait mode. A basic stand that offers 35° of tilt is also available.

VESA Mount Version

For customers that will provide their own VESA-compatible mounting solutions, the FlexScan S1903 is available without a stand.

Optimized Brightness with Auto EcoView

The Auto EcoView function is a sensor on the front of the monitor that measures ambient light and optimizes the screen's brightness to a level akin to viewing a sheet of paper under typical office lighting conditions. Since the screen is never too bright, eye strain is reduced while power consumption is cut by up to 50% compared to operating the monitor with Auto EcoView turned off and set to the default factory brightness of 100%.

Anti-Glare Treatment

A non-glare screen reduces eye fatigue by dissipating reflective light that otherwise makes the screen difficult to view.

Furthermore, the surface of the bezels is treated to prevent light reflection.

Improved Work Efficiency, Reduced Visual Fatigue

EIZO conducted a survey to establish the relationship between eye fatigue and monitor use. The survey found that when you properly adjust your monitor’s brightness, the reduction in your ability to focus drops by half

(Graph 1). In addition, maintaining correct working posture and taking regular breaks further reduced fatigue levels and increased work efficiency by 12.5% (Graph 2).

Prevents Eye Fatigue in Dimly-Lit Offices

. This ultra-low brightness helps prevent eye fatigue and increase productivity when working in an environment with very dim ambient lighting such as a CAD studio.

Closely Simulates Documents and Books

Paper mode simulates the look of printed paper by raising the black level and lowering the contrast ratio. Together with the Auto EcoView ambient brightness sensor, Paper mode reduces the amount of blue light emanating from the monitor for less eyestrain. (See page 4 for more information about Paper mode.)

Built to Last Five Years

EIZO’s five-year warranty is two years or 67% longer than the standard three-year warranty of most brands. Even if the initial purchase price of the FlexScan S1903 is higher than another 19-inch monitor, the TCO (total cost of ownership) will likely be lower due to the significantly longer buying cycle and less need for repair.

Eye Care Utility

The EyeCare utility is EIZO

-developed software that helps promote better work habits. It consists of a function called

“EyeCare Reminder” that reminds you to take scheduled breaks.

Energy Savings across the Network

EIZO’s EcoView NET power management software provides centralized control over the power settings of monitors on a network. With EcoView NET, a systems administrator can confirm the settings for each monitor on the network, turn the power on or off, and if necessary, take measures to combat eye fatigue such as adjust the brightness or activate Auto

EcoView. EcoView NET is available from EIZO distributors.
