We all understand when it comes to schooling it is important the younger generation has access to a full and broad education. But it is not just the teacher, the content, the classroom or the playground that is important. The equipment used by teaching staff and pupils is imperative to the experience and outcomes the children get whilst they learn. There are circa 3,392,100 computers within UK classrooms*. The majority of the monitors used alongside these computers will be standard LCD monitors provided by the PC manufacturer. But have your end- users thought further about the monitors they are providing their pupils? Have they considered the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and warranties that come with those standard monitors? What about the blue light emissions shining into the young person’s eyes? Do their current monitors flicker and cause headaches and fatigue…? All of these considerations are important factors when purchasing monitors and your end users might not be aware of the other monitors solutions available to them, all with useful features that will enhance their user’s experiences. Introducing EIZO. ‘EIZO’ is Japanese for ‘image’ and is the name of one of the UK’s fastest growing Visual Technology brands.
