Eizo will release 21.6″ OLED monitor in January for 4961 euros

Eizo will release its Foris Nova monitor with 21.6″ OLED panel in Europe in mid-January. The manufacturer already announced the screen last month and the monitor is already for sale in Japan. Asus previously released a monitor with the same panel.

In a press release, Eizo reports that only 500 units of the monitor will be on the market ‘before the market launch’. With this, the manufacturer seems to indicate that more copies will be released later. It’s not clear when that is.

Eizo announced the Foris Nova OLED monitor in early October and began sales in Japan in November. The screen uses the same 21.6″ OLED panel from Joled, which is also in the Asus ProArt PQ22UC. That OLED monitor has been on sale for a while and also costs about five thousand euros.

The monitor has a resolution of 3840×2160 pixels, a refresh rate of 60Hz and 10bit color reproduction. The screen can display 80 percent of the rec2020 color space and there is hdr10 and hlg support.

Joled, a partnership that includes the former OLED divisions of Sony and Panasonic, has been working for a number of years on OLED panels based on an RGB printing technique that should make production cheaper. Until now, however, the price of monitors with Joled panels is very high. Prices may fall next year, Joled will then start mass production of OLED panels from 10″ to 32″.
