Description
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%.
IPS Panel with Wide Viewing Angles
The IPS (in-plane switching) panel offers 178° viewing angles to minimize colour shift and contrast when viewing the screen at an angle. This ensures stable and consistent display when two or more people view the screen at once or in a multi-monitor environment.
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 stand with 30° tilt only is available as an option.
Three Inputs Including DisplayPort
DisplayPort, DVI-D 24-pin, and D-Sub mini 15-pin inputs are included for connection with various graphics boards.
Reduced Blue Light
A preset mode called “Paper” adjusts the brightness, contrast ratio, and colour temperature to simulate those of printed paper. Paper mode significantly reduces the amount of blue light emitted from the screen for more comfortable viewing.
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 S1934 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.
Optional LCD Panel Protector
The FP-1901 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.
Our Contribution to SDG's
As part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, EIZO is contributing towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Calibration Information
This monitor supports traditional monitor calibration (AKA Software calibration with a hardware device).
While this process can offer good results (and of course is much better than no calibration at all!), this monitor does not support the better method of Direct Hardware Calibration that is particularly important if you want to achive a really excellent screen to print match.
Compatible Calibrators

Panel Size19"
Monitor panel sizes are measured across the diagonal, in inches.
They are approximate only, so the actual measurement might be 27.1" for example. Note that panel size in inches is only one part of the story - the other being the aspect ratio. For example a 24" monitors doesn't sound much bigger than a 23" monitor, but 24" monitors are normally 16:10 versus most 23" monitors being 16:9. This means a 24" monitor is much taller than a 23" and the working size is much greater than one inch difference would suggest.
-
Panel Ratio16:9 (1.78:1)
The panel ratio gives the relative size of the horizontal to the vertical. Older monitors were 4:3, but most modern monitors are widescreen, with 16:10 or 16:9 being the common ratios. 16:10 is distinctly taller, and common with 24 and 30 inch monitors. 23 and 27 inch monitors are normally 16:9 - the same ratio as widescreen televisions. For monitors 24 inches and below, we recommend going with a 16:10 monitor if you can. Once you're over 24 inches you've got sufficient vertical working space it doesn't matter so much.
-
Native Resolution1280 * 1024
Native resolution is simply the number of pixels a monitor has, stated as horizontal x vertical.
LCD monitors really want to receive their native resolution and look pretty terrible when scaling other resolutions to the native resolution of the panel.
Most modern computers have no trouble outputting up to 2560 by 1600 (e.g. all Mac Pros/Macbooks/Minis/Airs etc. from the last 5 years or so can do this without issue, usually to 2 or more displays simultaneously). The only time it becomes particularly important is with older machines, particularly laptops, many have a maximum external display resolution of 1920 by 1200. If in doubt send us the full model number of your laptop and we can double check this for you!
-
Panel TechnologyIPS
There are three major types of monitor panels. IPS (aka PLS) - are the best for image makers. They have the best colour accuracy and uniformity characteristics. The can sometimes have weaker blacks, so gamers and video editors sometimes lean towards PVA monitors. However these days good IPS panels have excellent blacks so we recommend that all image makers use an IPS panel. The latest panel type, TN, is generally only used in laptops and low end devices and should avoided for imaging work at all costs!
-
Backlight TechnologyLED
The two major types of backlighting are CCFL (Flourescent tube based) and LED. CCFL is the older type of light source and offers good uniformity and it has been traditionally easier to engineer colour accuate monitors with flourescent tubes. However recent LED backlit monitors can be excellent - very uniform, and of course they use much less power. The latest LED backlit monitors from the good makers now offer excellent colour accuracy - at least as good as the older CCFL models.
LEDs also uses significantly less power (although CCFL monitors are already much better than old CRTs of course!) - and tend to have better uniformity.
-
Cooling Fan?
Whether or not the unit needs a fan for cooling. Most monitors fortunately don't need a fan, rather using passive cooling through heatsinks and vents.
However, some monitors do require a fan, which can be of concern given the monitor's proximity to your ears. Generally the fan will be a low dB fan not audible above a typical computer fan, but if ambient noise is of concern to you the we suggest you choose a monitor without a cooling fan.
-
Direct Hardware Calibration Support?
Direct Hardware Calibration is the process of calibrating directly into the monitor's hardware. This is both more accurate, and typically more easy to do, than traditional software calibration. See the 'Calibration Information' section above for more details about this monitor and calibration.
-
In Built Sensor?
In built correction sensors come in two forms:
- Full Calibration Sensors - behave just list external calibration sensors and can build full colour profiles for your monitor. These are designed to allow for fully automatic regular calibation with no user intervention.
- Correction Sensors - these can not make colour profiles, so you will still need access to a compatible external sensor about twice a year, but the correction sensor is used to keep the monitor as close to the profile as possible inbetween calibrations.
-
GamutStandard
Standard sRGBUntil around 2010, almost all monitors were 'standard gamut' - meaning they could display a moderate range of colours (roughly around the size of the sRGB colour space). In recent years we've seen the development of wide gamut monitors that can display a much wider range of saturated colours (about 25% more) - equivalent to approximately the gamut of AdobeRGB.
We recommend wide gamut monitors for all image makers, but especially for anyone working regularly with saturated colour. Wide gamut monitors can also emulate standard gamut monitors very well, so it's more future proof to choose a wide gamut model, and there really aren't any disadvantages (apart from the generally higher price of wide gamut models!).
-
10 Bit Input Support?
Does the monitor accept a 10 bit incoming video signal? 10 bit video signals allow for more tonal level separation (i.e. smoother gradients).
PC: 10 bit is well supported and relatively easy to achieve with 'workstation' graphic cards (short version: buy an NVIDIA Quadro video card!). Since about 2020, even most modern consumer video cards now support 10 bit, but the consumer cards with their gaming optimised drivers do tend to be a lot more buggy.
Mac: 10 bit has been supported across the Mac lines since around 2016.
Note that there are often caveats to this support - such as 10 bit being available only on DisplayPort and not HDMI for UHD inputs, for example.
Do make sure you check the manufacturer's specifications very carefully if you have a particular requirement - like e.g. 10 bit over HDMI at 4K/60Hz.
Our comprehensive article on 10 bit support has more details. Important to note, also, that whilst 10 bit is definitely 'better' - in 20 years of professional imaging work, we have never really seen it make a practical difference to typical tasks (with the possible exception of HDR grading work).
-
Contrast Ratio1000:1
The maximum achievable ratio of the brightness of a monitor's white to the depth of it's black. The stated figure is a maximum, achieved only when the monitor is running at high brightness in a darkened room.
A high contrast ratio makes things looks more contrasty (i.e. more 'pop') and is particularly of note with gaming, video, and image display scenarios. For example, if you're selling photos to clients straight off your screen, then high contrast has more wow factor.
However, for print work, it is typical practice to dramatically reduce the monitors contrast to as low as, say, 200:1 to better simulate paper. This is best done with monitors that feature direct hardware calibration support and allow you to specify the desired contrast ratio.
-
Maximum Brightness250 cd/m2
The maximum achievable brightness of the monitor in candellas per metre squared.
It is VERY unusual to run a monitor at maximum brightness, especially for imaging work.
-
DCI True Blacks?
The DCI (Digital Cinema Initiative) specifications requires contrast of 1500:1 or more.
Most LCD monitors do not yet offer DCI True Blacks support (in practice 'true blacks' means a very low black point suitable for video editing in a dim environment). This doesn't mean they have bad blacks in typical viewing environments, but it does mean you may experience some 'glow' in your blacks if you're viewing in a very dim environment.
Achieving very high contrast ratios is difficult and a combination of technologies is used - changes to the panel, light retardation film and backlight are all required.
This is really only of relevance in video work - in still image work, and particualrly for print, it is common practise to actually raise the monitor's black point above the minimum to better simulate the printed output.
-
Viewing Angles178 Degrees
The wider the better! But as usual, on paper specifications tell you just about nothing about the actual performance.
Viewing angle is the maximum angle at which a display can be viewed with 'acceptable visual performance'. In the context of this specification, all that means is that the 'contrast ratio remains above 10:1' (which is laughably low). This is really a meaningless specification with regards to the colour accuracy of a monitor when viewed off angle.
Thus, we don't place any credence in the manufacturer stated numbers. Simply though, IPS panels have the best viewing angles by far, and all IPS panels sold here all have (relative to low quality monitors) excellent viewing angles for this type of monitor, so you won't see significant variance as you move you head around under normal circumstances (movements of 15 or so degrees, say). In general you and a colleague could sit side by side (closely) and work acceptably together on an image. Beyond that, though, like all LCD monitors, accurate display will drop off very quickly once you move off angle. That is simply a fact of life with LCDs, even the best ones.
Ironically, monitors with lower black points tend to be slightly worse in this area (e.g. the CGX range from Eizo) - as often part of achieving the low blacks is the use of a polarising film over the panel. As anyone who has ever used a polarising filter with a camera knows, the effect of such a filter is highly directional. Thus as you move off axis, you will therefore see change more quickly.
-
Response Time14 ms (Grey to Grey)
How quickly a pixel can change colour, in milliseconds (usually measured as grey-to-grey, but there's no real standard).
Basically, any value 16 or under is generally fine for all normal uses. Exceptions are high end gaming and possibly video production - but it's rare anything below 10 makes a significant difference, and monitors with very low response times typically sacrifice a lot of colour quality to achieve this.
-
24p Smooth Playback Support?
Can the monitor play back a 24p video signal (i.e. 24 frames a second) - without visible motion artefacts?
Typical desktop monitors either refuse a 24p signal altogether, or force all inputs to 60hz, remapping different frame rates like 24p to 60 frames per second (usually using a technique known as 3:2 pull-down). Unfortunately, because 60 is not evenly divisible by 24, this causes significant visible motion artefacts.
A monitor with 24p support is able to play back 24p sources at either the native 24 frames a second, or using simple frame doubling/tripling to play back these sources as 48 or 72Hz. This results in smooth motion without new artefacts (n.b. - artefacts inherent to 24p, like some juddering during slow pans, remains of course, as this is inherent in the low frame rate of the original filming - but it's this low frame rate that gives the 'film like' look.
More about 24p on Wikipedia.
-
Colour LUT Bit Depth10 Bit
The bit depth of the colour Look Up Tables. These are used to map incoming values from your computer to actual colours on the monitor's screen - so are of course crucial to colour accuracy. 8 bit is standard (although some appalling screens are only 6 bit!), but 10 bit or more is desirable, and the best monitors are now 14 or 16 bit. Ideally combined with 3D LUTs that can transform colours in more than one table at once.
Put simply the higher the bit depth of the LUT, the greater the capacity for accuracy.
-
3D LUT?
3D Look Up Tables allow colour transformations to occur on R,G and B simultaneously, which increases speed and accuracy. Basically, a 3D LUT means better, more accurate calibrations. You want one even if it sounds like gibberish!
-
Uniformity Corrected?
LCD Monitors coming off a production line typically exhibit some uniformity issues. Uniformity corrected monitors are broken into zones, measured, and each zone calibrated to be even with its neighbours (and you often get a written report of this process with very high end monitors like the Eizo CG series). Called DUE by Eizo, and most likely something else by others, it's an important part of the process of high end LCD making.
The process occurs at the begining of the monitor's life and there is currently no user system for correcting uniformity after the monitor is out in the field, although it is theoretically possible. Fortunately, moden monitors that leave the factory in a very uniform state tend to then remain uniform for many years of use.
Monitors that are not uniformity corrected may exhibit some visible artefacts like a change in density or colour across the field of the monitor. Wtih brands like Eizo and NEC, the non uniformity tends to be minor.

Video Inputs1 x DisplayPort
1 x DVI-D
1 x VGA
The input ports a monitor has. We have a comprehensive article about these (with pictures!) - here.
We've listed them here in our generally recommended order - that is, we recommend USB-C / DisplayPort / HDMI / Other...in that order, if the computer and monitor have the appropriate options.
Note that for USB-C ports that offer power delivery back to your laptop, we just list an approximate figure here - normally the monitor description text above has more details (e.g. this specification might say approximately 60W, when in fact it is 50W or 70W, say).
-
Other Connections1 x Audio In (3.5mm)
1 x Audio Out (3.5mm)
Other connections the monitor offers - such as card readers, audio connectors (for audio going in and/or out) - and USB ports.
Up here indicates an upstream port - meaning when you run a connection from your computer to the monitor.
Down indicates a downstream port - meaning you can plug something into this port (like e.g. a mouse, or a USB card reader).
Note, USB-C ports can be both upstream and downstream, and are thus often listed both ways, although there may be just one physical port.
A good way of double checking the ports on offer is to cycle through the product images above - we try and make sure each monitor listing has a picture of the available ports as well as the information here.
Some USB ports/hubs also act as proper 'KVMs' - meaning you can plug your mouse and keyboard into the monitor, then the monitor into two separate computers and easily share your peripherals and screen between the two machines. If proper 'KVM' support is something you need, review the manufacturer specs (linked below) to be sure this monitor can support your intended use case.

Power Use21w (Max, On)
0.5w (Standby) -
Hood Included?
If a monitor hood is not included, then there are [LINK] aftermarket hoods available.
Monitor hoods stop direct light falling on the monitor which can make, in particular, shadow details harder to perceive. While not essential, once you get used to having one it's hard to go back to a screen without one - they improve the picture generally and provide a real 'window in to your image' effect.
-
In Built Speakers?
Most colour accurate monitors don't have in built speakers.
Those that do offer speakers usually connect via 3.5mm jack (see connections), and the speaker output is usually around the 1-2w range. Fine for basic system sounds but not great for music etc.
-
Supports 90 Degree Pivot?
Can the monitor be rotated on its stand 90 degrees and used in portrait orientation? Particularly useful if you're doing portrait work on smaller screens!
If the monitor & stand support this then you just rotate the screen physically and instruct your video card to flip the image 90 degrees (if you bind this to an F key on your keyboard it can be a very simple process!).
