Eizo Nanao FlexScan L367 LCD Monitor: Sound Ergonomics?
I got a chance to play with an Eizo Nanao FlexScan L367 LCD Monitor (try saying that five times fast) this weekend. Here are a few thoughts:
Ergonomics isn't just about getting a good chair. Your eyes are important (and eyestrain can lead to headaches and other discomfort), so it's equally important to get a good monitor. LCD monitors are nice because the flat screens cut down on glare, but they can be pricey. The Eizo Nanao FlexScan L367 is about $400 depending on where you shop.
The Eizo Nanao FlexScan L367 is a 15 in. LCD monitor. The colors were vibrant, text crisp. Speakers come built in, though they don't sound that great.
The monitor allows for quite a bit of adjustability. Probably the coolest aspect is that the software it comes with allows you to adjust brightness and contrast differently for each of your applications. The monitor is adjustable up and down, but you can't twist it from side to side.
The Eizo Nanao FlexScan L367 isn't a bad little monitor, but I'm not ready to give up my 21 in. flat screen CRT yet. In my experience, flat screen CRT monitors are just as good for reducing eyestrain as LCD monitors (stay away from the traditional CRT monitors without the flat screen, though). Actually, I've heard the best setup is to have two monitors so that your eyes have to move back and forth between them, keeping you from assuming that cow-chewing-cud glazed look for hours on end.
