TÜV Rheinland Group and Eyesafe announced that the first devices to meet the new Eyesafe Certification Requirements 2.0 are three Lenovo monitors. These are namely the Lenovo G32qc-30 Curved Gaming Monitor, the Lenovo G34w-30 Ultra-Wide Curved Gaming Monitor, and the Lenovo ThinkVision T27p-30 Wide UHD Monitor.
The Eyesafe Certified 2.0 standard was announced in May 2022 and is the world’s most advanced set of certification requirements for measuring blue light emissions and color accuracy for the global display industry.
“We’d like to congratulate Lenovo on being the world’s first to achieve this significant milestone. The launch of the Eyesafe Certified 2.0 comes at a critical point in time as awareness of low blue light features has become much more pervasive among consumers and brands have begun to offer an array of different low blue light display options.”
Frank Holzman, TÜV Rheinland Business Field Electrical Global Vice President
The Eyesafe Certified 2.0 standard was developed in consultation with ophthalmologists and optometrists from around the world and outlines guidance for display manufacturers with new metrics and parameters to measure blue light toxicity. The standard empowers consumers to better understand how brands are addressing the issue of blue light mitigation.
“We want to offer a hearty and well-deserved congratulations to the team at Lenovo for their foresight and leadership around the issue of blue light and their commitment to total human health. We believe consumers deserve the peace-of-mind of knowing that their devices have passed the most rigorous set of requirements in the industry for measuring blue light emissions and color accuracy. Today is a huge win for Lenovo and a significant milestone for the entire display industry.”
Justin Barrett, Eyesafe CEO
The decision to develop and release the new Eyesafe Certified 2.0 standard was driven by significant advancements in global health research. The insights are coupled with significant and sustained changes in global device-use patterns since the onset of the pandemic. To see the complete set of requirements in the new standard, click here.
Lenovo monitors
The following certified monitors will be available globally this fall in select markets:
- Lenovo G32qc-30 Monitor – a 31.5” WLED QHD curved gaming monitor equipped with a 165 Hz refresh rate, HDR effect support, dual speakers, and gaming tools for an immersive, fast, and fluid gaming experience.
- Lenovo G34w-30 Monitor – a 34” WQHD ultra-wide 1500R curved gaming monitor with a 21:9 panorama display ratio for wider visibility into more content.
- Lenovo ThinkVision T27p-30 Monitor – a 27” wide UHD monitor featuring a USB Type-C® port offering a single cable connection, and a 3-side near-edgeless bezel design for a seamless working experience across multiple screens.
“Lenovo is proud to be the first technology provider to introduce PC monitors that are certified against the rigorous and precise set of requirements within the new Eyesafe display standard. The reality is that people are spending more time in front of computers than ever before, and while the concept of ‘low blue light’ has become more popular, it only addresses part of the challenge. By meeting the Eyesafe Certified 2.0 standard, we’re enabling our customers to have more control over their experience and fit the device to their specific needs.”
Stefan Engel, Lenovo Vice President and General Manager of Visuals Business within the Intelligent Devices Group
The three monitors feature natural low blue light technology to reduce the emission of high-frequency blue light from the panel without color distortion. Each will have the TÜV Rheinland Eyesafe certification seal clearly displayed on both the packaging and the device itself.
More Lenovo products that meet the new standard will be made available later this year.
