http://www.anandtech.com/show/8740/eizo-announces-the-ips-265-flexscan-ev2730q-monitor-with-1920x1920-resolution
| Quote: | I will be honest, the nearest I think I have come to a square monitor is the 1024x768 panel I use as a tiny second screen on my main computer. When I first saw EIZO’s press release regarding this new 1920x1920 monitor it took me aback, imagining what it might feel like to actually use. The consumer monitor market is expanding to various screen sizes, usually following 16:9, 16:10 or 21:9 for the most part. But after a few minutes, I realized that non-standard monitor sizes are most likely abundant in various industries, such as medical, when they are designed for a specific purpose and quality. So while a 1:1 monitor is something interesting to see in the consumer space, perhaps it might not be so new when considering industrial use scenarios. That all being said, it would be interesting to see this one in the flesh.
1920x1920 means 3.7 megapixels, the same as 2560x1440. This compares to the regular desktop sizes of 1080p (2MP), 1200p (2.3MP), 3200x1800 (5.8MP) and 2160p (8.3MP), which indicates that if this monitor were to be used for gaming, performance would put it directly in the 1440p category. That being said, EIZO is not exactly targeting this monitor for gaming. The more vertical space provided is better suited to writers, coders or CAD who require many items on the screen at once, often side by side. As an editor, I often have an image on one side of my screen while writing my reviews on the other, so I can certainly see this marketing angle.
The basic specification list gives the IPS-based EV2730Q as a 16.8 million color display with 178 degree viewing angles, a 300 nit brightness, a 1000:1 contrast ratio and 5ms gray-to-gray response time. Video inputs are via DisplayPort and a dual-link DVI-D, with a maximum refresh rate of 60 Hz. Two 1W speakers are built in, along with a 2-port USB 2.0 hub. 100mm VESA is supported with 344º of swivel and 35º/5º of tilt. Height is also adjustable.
The button controls are on the front of the panel, and EIZO gives three profiles called sRGB, Movie and Paper along with two user customizable profiles. The Paper profile is designed to reduce the amount of blue in an image to prevent eyestrain while reading or coding against a white background. A feature called Auto Ecoview can detect the ambient light level and adjust the screen’s brightness to reduce eyestrain and power. This can also detect when a user leaves the desk to power down the monitor, with power on when the user returns.
We are contacting EIZO to find what markets the EV2730Q will be sold in as well as the prices. EIZO has announced that the monitor will be available from Q1 in 2015, but this will vary by country. With any luck, it will be on display at CES. |
Actually looks cool.

It looks weird but might be useful as a second monitor.

Why should everything have to be about gaming?  This is not a gaming display.

Even the wide monitor, it is not meant for gaming. It is mainly for content creation and movie watching. Still not about gaming.

Dunno but in gaming it looks absolutely fantastic, MMO´s and stuff, also FPS games which has proper fov looks awesome. This is again if the games support the aspect ratio.

Actually, it works great with games with its resolution. My mate got one and we have already tried out 20-30 games. No problems what so ever  |
Mind giving us a little mini-review after a week or two of use?  |

Why?
If you don't plan on gaming or watching movies on it then it's probably fantastic for anything else since it's a fuckton of screen realestate. |

No problem with the resolution, dat 21:9 aspect ratio tho is pain in the ass in shitty console ports, but thank god there is flawless Widescreen program.

What's there to wait for?
It's Eizo, so anyone who even remotely knows them knows what to expect. It'll be well calibrated, it's obviously a productivity monitor above all else. Anyone calling it stupid clearly doesn't type lots of text on their monitor.
And especially for programmers I think having more vertical space rather than horizontal space works wonders. A lot of IDE's put their "operation" panels at the bottom, with this you then have more space for your code when debugging. And yes, you can usually move these panels around, have them on the side of the screen. But then you have a super narrow panel, making it hard to read longer lines of text.
21:9 I reckon is less productive, because to make good use of it you need to start tiling windows or stuff like that. You sure as shit don't want text running all across the screen, contrary to popular belief we silly humans don't actually deal well with very long lines of text, vertical reading of shorter lines is more efficient.

Don't get excited before it is properly tested and color reproduction is put to the test.

its using basically a 144hz version of the BenQ BL2710PT panel, also used in the Korean QNIX so the test results and also response times should be pretty similar.
