FlexScan LCD Monitors Can't Wait for You to Leave
All gags about "in Soviet Russia" aside, the newest FlexScan LCD monitors from Eizo Nanao feature the power-saving "EcoView Sense", where the monitors will watch you and automatically shift into a low-power state when they sense you getting up and leaving.
It works by using motion sensors that look for movement within 120 centimeters of the front of the monitor. If no movement is detected for 40 seconds, the monitors will go to standby mode. When someone sits in front of the monitor, it will automatically return to full power. In addition to EcoView, the monitors' sensors also monitor ambient light and can automatically adjust display brightness.
In addition, they are two of the world's first monitors to receive full TCO Displays 5.0 certification, and are Eizo's first monitors to achieve EPEAT Gold status. Both TCO and EPEAT are "green"-focused certifications relating to energy efficiency and product recyclability.
These new FlexScan monitors come in two flavors: the 20" EV2023W (1600x900 resolution, 3000:1 contrast ratio) and the 23" EV2303 (1920x1080 resolution, 1000:1 contrast ratio).
The 20" will run you about $385, and the 23" will cost about $450 or so. Both monitors are expected to hit warehouses on May 21.

I certainly wish my monitor would turn off and on by itself. It would save me the time of pressing a button, lol.

It will be neat to see how far this technology comes in the next few years.

A very clever bit of kit, buts sure you save a lot more by just turning it off manually as it will still be on standby?

Interesting concept, but my thought is that still your computer is running if it's on standby... wouldn't it still be best to just power it down?
