On September 28, EIZO announced the "FlexScan EV2785-BK" and "FlexScan EV2785-WT" 27-inch 4K (3840 x 2160 dots) resolution displays equipped with a 60W power supply USB Type-C. There are two colors, white and black, and the price is open price and the direct sales price is 129,600 yen including tax. It also supports picture-by-picture display of two inputs.

The FlexScan EV2785 (hereafter EV2785) is a display for office users who use notebook PCs and is equipped with a USB Type-C port that supports 60W power supply. By simply connecting to a USB Type-C compatible laptop, you can transmit video, audio, and USB signals as well as power the laptop. The resolution of the 27-inch display is 4K, which is higher than the 2560 x 1440 dots of the previous model "FlexScan EV2780" released in November 2016. USB power supply capacity has also been improved from 30W to 60W.

A single USB Type-C cable can output video from a laptop and power the laptop.

*Back side (near the hinge) When connected to the USB Type-C connector, there is a high probability that it will freeze for several seconds to 1 minute or more. During the freeze, there may be band-shaped noise or flickering of the image on the screen. If I unplug the cable, it works fine.

In order to connect a conventional notebook PC to an external display and work for a long time, it was necessary to connect the video output cable in addition to the AC adapter of the notebook PC, and the cable tended to get in the way, but with the EV2785. A single cable can supply power to a notebook PC that supports screen output via USB Type-C. In addition, a USB hub is also installed, and work efficiency can be further improved by connecting a USB dongle for a wireless keyboard or mouse.

The EV2785 has a built-in power supply, so an AC adapter is not required. Another point is that the cable cover or holder on the stand can be replaced according to the application, making it easy to organize the wiring. I'm glad that the included power cable is the same color as the main unit.

The frame width of the display is 1mm and the bezel width is 6.4mm. Compared to the 31.5-inch FlexScan EV3237, the width is reduced by 16%, and the pedestal diameter is reduced by 15 mm compared to the FlexScan EV2780, saving space. The speaker is placed on the back like the EV2780, but by installing a duct inside and placing the opening on the front frame, the front sound pressure is improved by about 10 decibels. It also reduces sound leakage from the back.

Sound from the rear speakers is routed through internal ducts to the front opening

The algorithm for the automatic dimming function has been revamped, improving the ability to follow environmental illuminance. Reduces eye strain by preventing excessive opening and closing of the pupil. This eliminates the lack of brightness in dark environments, resulting in more natural dimming.

The dedicated app "SCREEN INSTYLE" allows you to switch the input signal with a hot key, and you can assign display modes such as "sRGB" and "Movie" for each app you launch to automatically switch.

You can switch inputs with hotkeys. Supports picture-by-picture display of two inputs

The blue light cut function supports "circadian dimming" that automatically controls blue light according to the time of day. Automatically change the color temperature of your monitor according to the circadian rhythm mechanism. During the day, blue light wakes your body, and from evening to night, you can cut blue light to make it easier to go to bed.

Compatible with circadian dimming

By attaching a dedicated adapter (PCSK-03: for corporate sales) to the VESA mount part of the stand, which has a 22mm higher lifting width than before, you can attach a NUC or a small PC.
