If you liked Eizo’s 19-inch FlexScan LCD then check these 21.1-inch and 24-inch panels from Eizo’s SlimEdge (and FatAzz) lineup of monitors. While there’s no doubting the ultra-slim bezel of that other Eizo SlimEdge we saw, this is pushing it. The 24-inch, S2411W brings a 1920×1200 WUXGA resolution and 6-ms response while the 21.1-inch, S2111W features a 1680×1050 WSXGA+ resolution and 8-ms response. Both panels share some of the picture processing technology of their Foris.TV brethren while delivering a 178-degree visibility, 450cd/m2 brightness, and a 1000:1 (native) on up to 3000:1 contrast ratio when their contrast optimizer magic is switched on. They also feature 2x HDCP-enabled DVI-I inputs and 2x USB 2.0 jacks. Expect the chubsters to hit Japan starting December 6th, with the S2411W set to pull Â¥139,800 (about $1,183) while the S2111W will set you back a more modest Â¥89,250 (about $755).

Mitsubishi Diamondcrysta RDT261WH/(BK) is the industries first 25.5-inch H-IPS (High aperture ratio In-Plane Switching) panel. So on top of that Full-HD, 1920×1200 WUXGA resolution, this display also promises both professional color reproduction and control with a decent pixel response time to boot — “decent” under these terms is measured at 15-ms (7.5-ms intermediate color). The panel features a 750:1 (1500:1 with contrast ratio optimizer) contrast ratio, 178-degree viewing angle, and support for 16.7 million colors. Still, this monitor is just as likely to end up with the well-heeled consumer by hosting 2x HDCP-compliant DVI inputs, a D-Sub 15 if you must, and a 4-port USB 2.0 hub integrated into the chassis. Expected to hit Japan for Â¥158,000 (about $1,341) starting November 24th. Not bad pricing, considering.

The folks at bit-tech.net recently took some time to sit down and stare at BenQ’s new FP241W 24-inch widescreen LCD to see how it stacks up against the competition, coming away mightily impressed with the monitor in most respects. Specs-wise, the FP241W hits all the right marks, with the de facto 1920 x 1200 resolution, 6ms response time, 500cd/m² brightness, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and an ample supply of inputs (both video and USB), not the least of which is an HDMI port — something its biggest competitor lacks. Of course, specs alone aren’t exactly a hard and fast way to judge a monitor, but bit-tech finds the BenQ lives up to them, performing well in both gaming and regular desktop use and, in their opinion, beating Dell’s more popular option in just about every respect. About the only faults they found were a few problems with adjusting the monitor (you’ll have to live with it about three inches off your desk), a lack of memory card reader, and a relatively plain design — although given some of some of the monitors we’ve seen, we’re content with BenQ playing it safe.

If you’ve got a big budget and need a monitor that can withstand outdoor conditions ranging from firehoses to dust clouds to exhaust fumes, then Sanyo may have just the product for you. For £3,825 ($7,274) you can get Sanyo’s latest, the CE42LM4WPR, which brings 42 inches of viewing awesomeness (viewable at 178 degrees), a screen resolution of 1366 x 768, a contrast ratio of 800:1 and a panel brightness of 500cd/m². That’s $173 per waterproof inch, if you prefer to calculate it that way.

The competition is really heating up in the 30-inch display space. Dell keeps slashing its own 3007WFP prices to ridiculous extremes (we just spotted it for $1,274 on Dell’s own site), Apple finally got its 30-incher under two grand in August, and now HP is busting out its own aggressively priced option for full pixel assault. We’ve already spent plenty of time geeking out over the LP3065′s specs, so the real news here is that HP is offering the display for $1,699, and it’s already been spotted on PC Mall for $1,629, so there seems to be some flex to that pricetag. HP is estimating a ship date of November 11th, and while there might not be much to differentiate HP’s offering from the pack — though a trio of dual-link DVI-D ports does sound intriguing — it’s good to see someone else in the US break the $2,000 barrier.
