T\u00dcV Rheinland Group, the world leader in independent third-party testing and certification, and Eyesafe, the world leader in screen time safety display solutions, announced the first devices to meet the new Eyesafe Certification Requirements 2.0: 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unveiled in May of this year, the Eyesafe Certified 2.0 standard is the world\u2019s most advanced set of certification requirements for measuring blue light emissions and color accuracy for the global display industry. Representing the next-generation blue light management standard for digital displays, it is built upon the resounding success of the first generation Eyesafe standard which has become the industry-leading benchmark for low blue light safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019d like to congratulate Lenovo on being the world\u2019s first to achieve this significant milestone,\u201d remarked Frank Holzman, Global Vice President of T\u00dcV Rheinland Business Field Electrical. \u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the latest health research, the Eyesafe Certified 2.0 standard was developed in consultation with leading ophthalmologists and optometrists from around the world and outlines guidance for display manufacturers with new key metrics and parameters for measuring blue light toxicity. The Eyesafe Certified 2.0 designation empowers consumers to better understand how brands are addressing the issue of blue light mitigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe 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,\u201d said Justin Barrett, the CEO of Eyesafe. \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T\u00dcV Rheinland and Eyesafe\u2019s decision to develop and release the new Eyesafe Certified 2.0 standard was driven by significant advancements in global health research, which has given both physicians in eyecare as well as engineers in the technology space a more thorough understanding of the potentially damaging health impacts of continuous exposure to blue light on the human retina. These insights, coupled with significant and sustained changes in global device-use patterns since the onset of the pandemic, spurred the T\u00dcV Rheinland and Eyesafe teams to create a next generation standard that would reflect and encompass all the new information available about the impacts of blue light on human health. The complete set of requirements in the new standard are available here<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLenovo 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,\u201d remarked Stefan Engel, Vice President and General Manager of Visuals Business within Lenovo\u2019s Intelligent Devices Group. \u201cThe reality is that people are spending more time in front of computers than ever before, and while the concept of \u2018low blue light\u2019 has become more popular, it only addresses part of the challenge. By meeting the Eyesafe Certified 2.0 standard, we\u2019re enabling our customers to have more control over their experience and fit the device to their specific needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
