Economical "eyes saver" Eizo

24 "is now the standard for desktop monitors and this size should really fit on any standard desk.
As there are still many Windows applications are not able to cope with screen scaling, the pixel pitch of 0.27mm is still the halfway eyes friendly alternative (former standard was once just 0,3mm)

I. picture quality.

As with Eizo no defective pixels are usually visible on the panel. The screen stands out as usual by a pleasant image (no flash, but balanced colors) and of course has an anti-glare display.
However, this anti-reflective coating has the disadvantage that the image is not quite as brilliant and polished comes, as one would expect, for example, for image editing or printing set - as I said, there is an office monitor, no graphics engine.

The 16:10 format makes for Office applications sense: Two for 1028 * 1024 optimized application windows fit next to each other, and the extra pixels provide space for the taskbar at the bottom of the screen.
Color reproduction and contrast are completely independent of the brightness is always constant. A lightweight IPS glitter can not be completely avoided, ie the screen in a darkened room is not completely black the Eizo. An indication that the EV2455 the backlight can not regulate dynamically, but this does not interfere in office use even when playing videos. Power gamers and other sleepwalkers are still rather tend to FORIS series, which is specially designed for dark environments.

Each EV2455 provides the full sRGB color space to 100%. However, compared to the extended color spaces NTSC / Adobe measured results may fluctuate significantly (model scattering).
A bit annoying is that the picture at the bottom edge a little bit darker, in other words, the illumination is uniformly white LEDs, despite not going anywhere. Since in this area is usually the taskbar, this phenomenon normally not notice it.

II. Processing.

Confusingly, that a "Borderless" Monitor has a 6mm wide margin. Seamless Side-by-Side solutions are thus also not possible, and the filigree housing is a little at the expense of stability during transportation.
On balance, reduced the difference to the significantly lower EV2436W - theoretically - only by the presence of the integrated USB3 hubs.
Thin has become the EV2455 less on edge, but backwards: the design is thanks to revised LCD backlight significantly thinner and lighter than previous models.

The stand has been redesigned so that the device can be more compact packaging, but overall shaky. In addition, the joint sitting unusually low. You can position the panel is no longer "just" tilt without having to get up because of the tilt angle can only be changed at the arm. Less problematic for neck gently: the EV2455 can no longer be so far up pushing as its predecessors. However, the monitor must now first be tilted for use of the pivot function Forward; for rotation in the "straight" mode extends the distance from the edge of the table no longer sufficient. Overall, not only the stand acts cheaper than its predecessors, the entire chassis.

III. Power consumption.

Eizo promises an average fuel consumption of 13W, so that the 24'er rightly secures his A-certificate. There's even a power button, however, is located at a completely inaccessible location, so that you would never seriously consider to press him.
The theoretical maximum at insanely garish crank the backlight would be at max. 50W, and thus still well below what was then the standard time for 19 "screens.

IV. Handling.

In the plethora of interfaces you probably need not go into separately in Eizo. Analog, Digital, even a DisplayPort and HDMI ensure sufficient connectivity, HDMI and DP in the same tone is received with.
Unhappy are, however, the USB ports (upstream and downstream) on the top left of the page.
The touch operation concept is clearly fummeliger as real keys with tactile feedback.
The different modes (sRGB, Paper ...) "remember" their individual settings (brightness, contrast, etc.). The automatic EcoView features use but globally for all color profiles, if you do not shut down entirely. Who wants to miss his EV2455 a color calibration, must either dispense entirely with EcoView, or fumble cumbersome in the settings of the screen when needed, or install the tool "ScreenManager Pro".

Eizo has revised its long-standing operating concept in this model series. It is strongly advised to study intensively the available PDF manual before you get angry about it that the screen is not so will, as you would expect from Eizo's older ...

V. Conclusion.

The Eizo brand was formerly times for devices that wegsteckten a service life of well over 10 years loose. If they still do that today, time will tell. If you look at the latest models more closely, one finds unfortunately that austerity measures are now also arrived at Eizo.
The 2455 is undoubtedly a power-saving device with good image properties and Eizo continues to be top of the class when it comes to particularly eye-friendly screen solutions.
But the distance to over a third cheaper competition shrinks. Display techniques are now mature, and Eizo must urgently work to more clearly differentiate through better processing quality and greater ease of use of the low-cost mass.
Nevertheless, healthy eyes should be priceless, and the 5-year on-site exchange warranty is a great promise.
Hence a buy rating for the applications "Office" and "Video". Also image processing (sRGB) works, if you can make friends with the strong matted, optimized for word processing surface treatment. Farbkalibrieren can be the EV2455 quite well, since all kinds of parameters (contrast, brightness, RGB components ...) are manually configurable.
Player, which is a one hundred percent black level is essential, but should rather take the FORIS series, for example, the FG2421.

Pro:
+ Very low power consumption
+ Good farbkalibrierbar
+ Excellent (anti-reflective) screen for Office applications
+ Many connections
+ Onsite replacement if defective by the manufacturer
+ Full HD = good compromise between small font size and pixel pitch on Windows

Con:
- Poorer base than its predecessor: no longer possible turning and tilting in a sitting position
- Cumbersome menu system than its predecessor
- No dynamic backlight control, thus IPS Glow = For the player only conditionally
- Heavily matted antireflection coating keeps colors seem a little pale
- Illumination falls at the bottom of the screen slightly off
