Wide Color Gamut
The monitor reproduces 98% of the Adobe RGB color space so it can display most colors in a digital photo taken in Adobe RGB mode. Furthermore, it also has a sRGB mode to accurately reproduce colors in this narrower but commonly used color space, such as those seen on web pages or digital photos taken in sRGB mode.
Three Inputs Including DisplayPort
Connect with up to three PCs via the monitor's dual DVI-I inputs which accept digital and analog signals, and the DisplayPort (digital) input terminals. DisplayPort is next-generation connectivity that transmits both video and audio signals.

10-Bit Simultaneous Display
The FlexScan SX2462W employs a 12-bit look-up table with a color palette of 68 billion colors from which the most appropriate 16.7 million (8 bits) are displayed. It also uses 16-bit internal processing for smooth display of grayscale tones without banding. What’s more, using the DisplayPort input, this monitor displays 10-bit color* which is more than 1 billion colors shown simultaneously. This is 64 times greater than the 16.7 million colors of 8-bit display.
*A graphics board and software which support 10-bit output are necessary for 10-bit display.
Brightness and Color Uniformity with DUE
Fluctuations in brightness and chroma on different parts of the screen are characteristic of LCD panels. Generally, the larger the screen, the more noticeable these uniformity errors become. EIZO's Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE) helps to compensate for these errors, resulting in a much more uniform image.
Preset Modes
Different types of creative work require different color settings. To ensure you get the right settings without having to fiddle with the OSD menu, this monitor comes with three customizable preset modes for assigning your own values for brightness, contrast, color temperature, and gamma. In addition, Text, Picture, Movie, and sRGB modes are also included. Modes switch automatically with the bundled ScreenManager Pro for LCD software, or manually with the press of a button.
Detailed Color Control
The OSD menu offers adjustment of brightness, gamma, saturation, hue, gain and color temperature from 4,000 K to 10,000 K in 500 K increments. For fine-tuning of even a single color, the hue and saturation settings for red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow can be adjusted independently.
More Effective Software Calibration
In creative design work, software calibration is typically necessary to achieve accurate color values. The FlexScan SX2462W, however, already provides extensive color adjustment functions in the OSD menu. This means that any software calibration you do will help to achieve a very precise grayscale ramp for improved display of dark tone details as well as overall color accuracy.
Brightness and Color Temperature Stability
To ensure proper display of color, the FlexScan SX2462W comes equipped with patented EIZO technology that stabilizes the monitor’s brightness level after startup or coming out of power saving mode. Furthermore, a new temperature sensor detects and automatically suppresses changes in color and brightness caused by fluctuations in the surrounding temperature.
Fast Response Time
An overdrive circuit is included to reduce gray-to-gray response time to 5 ms and ensure that movies and other moving images look clean and sharp with an absolute minimum of blurring and ghosting.

Flexible Screen Positioning
The stand lets you set the screen to the optimum viewing position with 82 mm height adjustment, 40° tilt, and 70° swivel. It also pivot 90° for changing to portrait mode.
Scale Non-Native Resolutions to Full Screen
When working at less than native resolution or aspect ratios other than 16:10, you can use the scaling function to enlarge your work proportionally or expand it to fill the screen. This is especially useful when using the monitor’s single link input. You can then smooth or sharpen the image in five increments.

Color Vision Deficiency Simulation
To avoid creating inconveniences and even dangers for those with color vision deficiency, care must be taken when choosing color schemes for everyday items such as maps, road signs, web sites, and power indicator lights. This monitor can instantly simulate how still and moving images appear to people with color vision deficiency, and do so much faster than software-based tools that slow down with larger files.

Optimized Brightness with Auto EcoView
A sensor on the front of the monitor measures ambient light and optimizes the screen’s brightness to ensure the screen is never too bright or too dark. If preferred, Auto EcoView can be deactivated in the OSD menu.

On-Screen Button Guide
Graphics professionals often work in a dimly lit environment which can make it difficult to read a monitor's adjustment buttons. The SX2462W, however, includes an on-screen button guide that labels what each of the buttons are for so you can easily navigate the OSD menu.
Energy and Environmental Efficiency Index
New to the FlexScan SX2462W, a user-activated EcoView Index displays the level of power savings and equivalent amount of CO2 reduction compared to using the monitor without Auto EcoView activated and with the screen set at a brightness of 100%.

Simple Color Matching with EIZO EasyPIX
The optional EIZO EasyPIX color matching tool is ideal for digital SLR camera users looking to match colors between their monitors and photo prints. With the EasyPIX software you can match the monitor’s color and brightness with that of the photo paper and then create a monitor profile with the bundled EX1 color sensor. No expertise in color management is required and the profile can be shared with image retouching software to ensure accurate results when printing.
Commitment to Quality
While outsourcing production is now common practice in the monitor industry, EIZO continues to manufacture its products the same way it has throughout its 40 year history - with its own staff at its own factories. This allows EIZO to keep close control over production quality and offer the industry’s only 5-year manufacturer’s limited warranty.
Customer Assurance
A five-year warranty offers a long service life, and compliance with leading industry standards such as TCO 5.1 and TÜV Ergonomics ensures a better working environment. The EIZO Eco Products 2009 label indicates this product meet strict internal requirements for design, manufacturing, packaging, and usage.
