The EIZO FlexScan EV3451X is a new 34.1-inch ultrawide monitor with UWQHD resolution, a 100 Hz refresh rate, a built-in KVM switch, and USB-C docking. As with its bigger brother, the EV3851X, EIZO offers a 7-year manufacturer’s warranty on this model—a duration no other monitor manufacturer has offered to date.
With the FlexScan EV3451X, EIZO is expanding its portfolio with a model clearly aimed at office workstations and high-end home office setups. Rather than focusing on high refresh rates for gaming, EIZO prioritizes screen real estate, ergonomics, and durability.
Technical Specifications of the EIZO FlexScan EV3451X
At its heart is a curved IPS panel with a 3800R curvature, a 34.1-inch diagonal, and UWQHD resolution (3440 × 1440 pixels) in a 21:9 aspect ratio. With a 100 Hz refresh rate and a 5 ms response time (gray-to-gray), the monitor performs more responsively than one would expect from a standard office display, even though it isn’t marketed as a gaming monitor.

In terms of connectivity, it’s clear that EIZO designed the EV3451X specifically as a desktop docking solution: A single USB-C cable handles video, data, networking, and up to 94 watts of charging power for the laptop. The built-in KVM switch allows you to switch between two computers—such as a work laptop and a personal PC—using a single keyboard and mouse. It also features a 2.5-Gigabit Ethernet port, which offers noticeably faster speeds than the Gigabit connection typically found in monitors.
7-Year Warranty: What’s Behind EIZO’s Promise
A seven-year manufacturer’s warranty is unusually long in the monitor market; two to three years is standard. EIZO attributes the long warranty period to its vertical integration: development, production, and quality control are carried out entirely in the company’s own factories in Japan, without relying on suppliers for critical manufacturing steps. In its review of the sister model EV3851X, Prad.de highlighted precisely this point: The warranty is less of a mere marketing promise and more a testament to the vertical integration of production.
For business customers, this pays off especially over the product’s lifespan. An office monitor that lasts seven years instead of three without needing to be replaced quickly offsets the higher purchase price compared to competing models from Dell, LG, or Samsung.
EV3451X vs. EV3851X: A Comparison with the Bigger Model
The EV3451X isn’t alone: At the same time, EIZO introduced the EV3851X, a 37.5-inch model with UWQHD+ resolution (3840 × 1600 pixels, 24:10) and identical docking and KVM capabilities. The EV3851X is already available at a suggested retail price of 1,784 euros, while the smaller EV3451X won’t be released until fall 2026 and does not yet have a price.
Connect has already tested the EV3851X and rated it “very good” (895 out of 1,000 points). The review praised the generous viewing area, the color gamut coverage of 99.8 percent sRGB and 95.2 percent DCI-P3, as well as the extensive docking functionality. The only area where the testers awarded only a “satisfactory” rating was value for money, and with its 60 Hz refresh rate and 5 ms response time, the monitor isn’t suitable for fast-paced gaming anyway. The EV3451X is likely to show a similar picture, with the difference that, thanks to its 100 Hz refresh rate, it handles at least occasional gaming sessions significantly better than its larger sibling.
Price and Availability
The EIZO FlexScan EV3451X will go on sale in fall 2026, available in white and black. An official suggested retail price for Germany has not yet been announced. For comparison: The larger EV3851X starts at 1,784 euros, so the EV3451X will likely be priced slightly lower once EIZO confirms the MSRP.
Conclusion
With the FlexScan EV3451X, EIZO is introducing an ultrawide monitor that stands out less for its refresh rate or HDR capabilities and more for its combination of convenient docking, a KVM switch, and a warranty period that is unmatched in the industry. For office workstations with two input sources and for anyone who wants to use a monitor for as long as possible, this is a strong selling point—even if the price won’t be finalized until the fall.
