Notice for this monitor

This product is suited to general purposes like creating documents, viewing multimedia content.

This product has been adjusted specifically for use in the region to which it was originally shipped. If the product is used outside the region, it may not operate as specified in the specifications.

This product may not be covered by warranty for uses other than those described in this manual.

The specifications noted in this manual are only applicable when the following are used:

·Power cords provided with the product

·Signal cables specified by us

Only use optional products manufactured or specified by us with this product.

It takes about 30 minutes for the performance of electrical parts to stabilize. Please wait 30 minutes or more after the monitor power has been turned on, and then adjust the monitor.

Monitors should be set to a lower brightness to reduce changes in luminosity caused by long-term use and maintain a stable display.

When the screen image is changed after displaying the same image for extended periods of time, an afterimage may appear. Use the screen saver or power save function to avoid displaying the same image for extended periods of time.

Periodic cleaning is recommended to keep the monitor looking new and to prolong its operation lifetime (refer to “Cleaning” (page 4)).

The LCD panel is manufactured using high-precision technology. Although, missing pixels or lit pixels may appear on the LCD panel, this is not a malfunction. Percentage of effective dots: 99.9994% or higher.

The backlight of the LCD panel has a fixed lifetime. When the screen becomes dark or begins to flicker, please contact your local EIZO representative.

Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this may result in display malfunctions, such as interference patterns, etc. If pressure is continually applied to the panel, it may deteriorate or damage your panel. (If the pressure marks remain on the panel, leave the monitor with a black or white screen. The symptom may disappear.)

Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, as this may result in damage to the panel. Do not attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch the panel.

When the monitor is cold and brought into a room or the room temperature goes up quickly, dew condensation may occur on the interior and exterior surfaces of the monitor. In that case, do not turn the monitor on. Instead wait until the dew condensation disappears, otherwise it may cause some damage to the monitor.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Thank you very much for choosing an EIZO color LCD monitor.

1-1. Features

•23.0″ wide format LCD (EV2316W / EV2336W)

•24.1″ wide format LCD (EV2416W / EV2436W)

•Supports a resolution of 1920 × 1080 (EV2316W / EV2336W)

•Supports a resolution of 1920 × 1200 (EV2416W / EV2436W)

•IPS panel with 89˚ horizontal and vertical viewing angles (EV2336W / EV2436W only)

•Applicable to DisplayPort (applicable to 8 bit)*1

The DisplayPort input receives both an image signal and an audio signal via a single DisplayPort cable.

*1 When transmitting an audio signal using the DisplayPort cable, the graphics board must be compatible with audio output (see “6-7. Specifications” (page 54)).

•The FineContrast function allows the user to select the display mode optimum to the displayed image. -- The Paper mode reproduces a printed paper effect on the monitor.

See “To select the display mode (FineContrast Mode)” (page 19).

•The software “ScreenManager Pro for LCD (DDC/CI)” to adjust the screen using the mouse and keyboard is included

See “1-3. EIZO LCD Utility Disk” (page 11).

-- EyeCare Filter

Texture of the paper is reproduced by displaying a translucent image in the foreground of the desktop. By using this function with the Paper mode, the screen looks more like paper.

See “To select the display mode (FineContrast Mode)” (page 19).

•Supports the power management software “EIZO EcoView NET”

For more information, refer to our web site (http://www.eizo.com).

•Power saving function

Suppressing the power consumption*2 reduces the carbon dioxide emissions. This product is equipped with power saving function.

-- 0 W power consumption when the main power is off

Equipped with main power switch.

When the monitor is not required, the power supply can be shut off using the main power switch.

-- Auto EcoView

The ambient light sensor on the front side of the monitor detects the environmental brightness to adjust the screen brightness automatically and comfortably. Excessively high brightness may increase power consumption and cause unwanted environmental effects. It may also lead to fatigue of your eyes. Use the Auto EcoView to reduce the brightness.

See “Auto EcoView” (page 37).

-- EcoView Optimizer 2

The monitor automatically adjusts the screen brightness according to the white level of the input signal. This function can reduce the power consumption while maintaining the brightness specified by the input signal. See “EcoView Optimizer 2” (page 38).

-- EcoView Sense

The sensor on the front side of the monitor detects the movement of a person. When a person moves away from the monitor, the monitor shifts to the power saving mode automatically and does not display the images on the screen. Therefore, the function reduces the power consumption. The sensitivity and time until the power saving mode is activated can be set according to the monitor usage environment and movement of the user.

See “4-4. Setting the power saving mode when a person leaves the monitor” (page 38).

Standard power consumption: 19 W (Brightness 120 cd/m2, when no USB device is connected, speaker not working, at default settings)

•Up View (EV2316W / EV2416W only)

The viewing angle is adjusted so that the screen looks like a front view when the screen is looked up. See “3-3. Compensating viewing angle deficiency (EV2316W / EV2416W only)” (page 32).

•Supports portrait and landscape formats (FlexStand2 only)

•Displays HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Protection) protected contents.

Note
