Preset Modes for Optimum Viewing

With EIZO’s Fine Contrast function you can choose from several preset modes for the various applications you work with. Toggling between modes can be done manually in the OSD menu or automatically by assigning a mode to a particular application with the bundled ScreenManager Pro for LCD software

Prevents Eye Fatigue in Dimly-Lit Offices

Fine Contrast includes an EyeCare mode that reduces the screen’s brightness to just 3 cd/m2. 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

With office and home spending increasing amounts of time viewing documents and books on their monitors rather than in printed form, Paper mode simulates the look of paper. Paper mode makes reading documents and ebooks more comfortable and thereby reduces eyestrain. (See page 4 for more information about Paper mode.)

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%.

LED Backlight

With an energy-saving LED backlight, the FlexScan S1703 uses only 9 watts during typical operation. The LED backlight does not contain any mercury for minimal environmental impact when the monitor is eventually disposed of.

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.

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.

VESA Mount Version

For customers that will provide their own VESA-compatible mounting solutions, the FlexScan S1703 is available without a stand.

10-Bit Gamma Correction

This technology helps achieve accurate color by converting the 8-bit PC data to 10-bit, and assigning the ideal gamma values with a 10-bit look-up table (LUT) then returning the data to 8-bit format for display.

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.
