Nanao’s LCD monitor with human presence sensor saves energy

Many of us who face the monitors most of the work time are eco-criminals. As it’s a usual trend to get off the chair to attend some other work or simply grab a cuppa coffee for a break without switching our monitors to power saving mode. This results in criminal waste of power. To our rescue is Eizo Nanao’s wide LCD monitor that is equipped with a presence sensor. Designed for office use, this monitor detects the presence of a person with an infrared sensor. It shifts to the power saving mode when it finds the user leaving his or her desk and automatically resumes normal operation when the user returns. The typical power consumption of the two models is 25W -18W. In the power saving mode, the power consumption of the both models is 0.7W or lower. Now that’s noteworthy! Also the product has an improved recycling efficiency and is compliant with “TCO Displays 5.0,” the latest version of an international environmental standard.

The product comes 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 resolutions. These monitors are expected to be released on May 21, 2009 with a direct retail price of US $ 385 for the EV2023W-H and EV2303W-T will be priced at around US $ 465.
