Eizo Debuts Monitor With 1:1 Aspect Ratio

Posted by Soulskill on from the hip-to-be-square dept.

jones_supa writes: Eizo has introduced an interesting new PC monitor with a square aspect ratio: the Eizo FlexScan EV2730Q is a 26.5-inch screen with 1:1 aspect ratio and an IPS panel with resolution of 1920 x 1920 pixels. "The extended vertical space is convenient for displaying large amounts of information in long windows, reducing the need for excess scrolling and providing a more efficient view of data," the firm writes. The monitor also offers flicker-free (non-PWM) backlight and reduced blue light features to avoid scorching users' eyes. Would a square display be of any benefit to you?

    Don't worry, you can probably rotate this screen also.

    I hope it comes with a pivot stand for landscape and portrait mode.

    They definitely need slit monitors.

    Preposterous. Review the Pythagorean Theorem. The diagonal is the square root of the sum of the squares of the sides. A 24" 16x9 monitor is 20.9x11.8". A 24" 16x10 monitor is 20.3x12.7".

    11.8" vs 12.7" is 0.9". How do you get "a few inches" out of that? The difference is about the size of a stamp.

    I was told there would be no math.
