A color wide LCD monitor which is designed for offices and capable to detect the presence of a person with an infrared sensor, is now ready to be released.
Eizo Nanao Corp, the manufacturer, has created this new monitor that can shift to the power saving mode when it determines that nobody is in the detection range for 40 seconds.
The product will be released in two types, the FlexScan EV2023W-H and the FlexScan EV2303W-T. The former is a 20-inch model with a resolution of 1,600 x 900, and the latter is a 23-inch model with 1,920 x 1,080 resolution.
The typical power consumption of the former model is 25W, and that of the latter model is 18W. In the power saving mode, the power consumption of the both models is 0.7W or lower.
Meanwhile, the “EcoView Sense,” a power saving function based on the presence sensor, detects objects within a 120cm range from the sensor unit by using an infrared sensor installed on the lower part of the front face of the monitor.
In order to avoid malfunction in small offices or in similar situations, the monitor checks the fluctuations in the detected values. And the monitor judges that the user has left the desk when the fluctuation in the detected value is lower than the predetermined level. To discriminate a person from a chair, for example, an object that does not move for one minute or longer is determined to be a still object even if it is in the 120cm range.
