Eizo have release an LCD monitor which can help the color blind perceive colors properly.

In Japan alone, there are more than 5 million people in total who see color differently from ordinary people, due to their genetic types or eye diseases.These days almost all images and texts are displayed in color, everything from newspapers to advertising billboards and ATM’s to Televisions would look rather unprofessional if they were not, bad news for people who are color blind.

However the development of a new technology called new Color Universal Design (CUD) is sure to help those who suffer from being able to distinguish colors properly.

The diagram above shows how people who are color blind may perceive an image. Eizo has incorporated this technology into a new 24â€LCD aimed at people who are color blind. The FlexScan SX2461W-U monitor sports the new CUD technology that utilizes different color schemes, shapes and patterns in the colors to help people distinguish different colors where they otherwise would be unable.

The FlexScan monitor priced Â¥136,000 or approx $1,235 USD and supports full HD (1920×1200), with a contrast ratio of 850:1, and a brightness of 300cd/m2.
