Japanese display maker iiyama announced the ProLite E1980SD line of 19-inch square (5:4) monitors for commercial PCs. The series includes two models based solely on body color, E1980SD-W1 (white) and E1980SD-B1 (Black). The E1980SD packs an LED-backlit TN-film LCD panel, which features 1280 x 1024 pixels resolution, which draws no more than 16W during typical usage, which can further be reduced to by 10% year-over-year (YoY) with EcoMode 1, 20% with EcoMode 2, and 35% YoY with EcoMode 3. The iStyleColor feature dynamically tinkers with gamma, contrast, and brightness to give you the best image quality.

In addition to its resolution, the panel features 85°/85° viewing angles (good for kiosks, service desks, or public PCs), 1,000:1 contrast ratio with mega-contrast, 5 ms response time, and 250 cd/m² maximum brightness. Display inputs include DVI-D and D-Sub. Measuring 411.1 x 189.5 x 402.0 mm (WxDxH), it weighs about 3.2 kg. It is priced at 14,800¥ (incl. taxes), about $177.
