Preset modes tailored to different content makes viewing more comfortable and enjoyable. Game and Cinema presets bring out the detail in dark areas that would otherwise remain hidden for optimum viewing. What's more, a preset can be correlated to a specific application so that the monitor automatically switches to the assigned preset whenever the application is active.

FORIS home entertainment monitors come in 23-and 24.1-inch sizes that display your games and videos in 1080p full high definition. They also use either IPS (in-plane switching) or VA (vertical alignment) LCD panel technology. IPS and VA panels offer much more vivid colors and wider viewing angles so you can enjoy the detail of full HD in much greater clarity compared to the TN (twisted neumatic) panels use with most gaming monitors.
FORIS monitors aren't just for hobbyists - some of the world's most competitive e-sports events use them, too. For example, in 2011, EIZO is a sponsor of both DreamHack's StarCraft II tournaments and Season 2 of NASL (North American Star League) which has both StarCraft II and Heroes of Newerth leagues. Foris monitors were used exclusively at their LAN events. EIZO is also a sponsor of Fnatic, one of the best-known professional e-sports teams and supplies them with FORIS monitors for their players to practice with.
FORIS monitors come with two HDMI inputs and one DVI-D and VGA (D-Sub) input each for connecting to PCs, full HD gaming consoles, and Blu-ray players. In addition, the FORIS FX2431 gives you further options with its composite, component, and S-Video inputs for game consoles, PSPs, and DVD players.
An overdrive circuit reduces the mid-tone response time to 7 ms or better depending on the model. Games and movies are displayed with almost no blurring and overdrive trailing. The input lag or the difference between the time a signal is input into the monitor and then shown on the screen is less than one frame. This is approximately
1/60th of a second, so gamers see the action as it happens and can react immediately.
The FORIS FS2332 comes with a new EIZO-developed feature called "Smart Resolution" that makes low-resolution content look more clear and natural. Smart Resolution analyzes displayed content and determines what should be adjusted and what should be left as is, even on a screen that is displaying different types of content such as a browser with a video playing on one side and a photo on the other.
A remote control lets you kick back and relax more than an arm's length away from your monitor while still controlling the preset mode, volume, and the numerous adjustments available in the on-screen display menu. A headphone jack is also included for convenience.
The FORIS FS2332 and FS2331 come with red, blue, and gray stripes so you can give your monitor a little extra flair by affixing one of them to the front bezel.
Photo enthusiasts looking for a flexible monitor that can deliver reliable color will find just what they need in FORIS. These monitors are ideal for simply enjoying digital photos on screen or for retouching and printing.
Have you ever spent a lot of time editing a digital photo trying to get the colors just right only to be disappointed by a print that looks nothing like what you see on screen? With EIZO EasyPIX color matching tool you can get a great screen-to-print match for your FORIS FS2331 or FS2332 without having to be an expert in color management. EIZO EasyPIX is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get solution that makes color matching simple. It consists of calibration software and a color sensor and is sold separately.
Compared to a conventional monitor with a 1280 x 1024 resolution, the full HD resolution of a FORIS monitor displays 58% more pixels so you can see more and scroll less. The extra space also lets you display more thumbnails and then expand them for viewing or retouching while still leaving room for your palettes.
10-bit gamma correction produces an ideal gamma curve for smooth tonal transitions. 16.7 million display colors ensures the hues from the original photo data are reproduced faithfully on the screen.
Tonal transitions and other elements of a photo that are difficult to verify on conventional LCD monitors as well as on the LCD screens of digital cameras and notebook PCs can be checked on a FORIS monitor for higher quality photos.
If your digital camera comes with an HDMI output you can connect it directly to the HDMI input of a FORIS monitor and see your photos and video on the large screen first before transferring your data to a notebook or desktop PC.
The non-glare IPS (in-plane switching) and VA (vertical alignment) panels minimize ambient light reflection so you can work for several hours at a time without your eyes tiring. In addition, the panels have178° viewing angles so most of the color saturation and black intensity remain when two or more people view the screen from off center.
