Notice for This Monitor

About the Usage of This Product
This product is suited for producing videos, where accurate color reproduction is a priority.
This product has been adjusted specically for use in the region to which it was originally shipped. If the product is used outside the region, it may not operate as specied in the specications.
This product may not be covered by warranty for uses other than those described in this manual.
The specications noted in this manual are only applicable when the following are used:
Power cords provided with the product
Signal cables specied by us
Only use optional products manufactured or specied by us with this product.
About the LCD Panel
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.
It takes about 30 minutes (under our measurement conditions) for the monitor display 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. Depending on the image, an afterimage may appear even if it was displayed for a short period of time. To remove such a phenomenon, change the image or keep the power turned off for several hours.
If the monitor displays continuously over a long period of time, smudges or burn-in may appear. To maximize the life of the monitor, we recommend the monitor be turned off periodically. Use the power button on the
front of the monitor to turn it off.
The backlight of the LCD panel has a xed lifetime. Depending on the usage pattern, such as usage for long continuous periods, the lifespan of the backlight may run out sooner, requiring replacement. When the screen becomes dark or begins to icker, please contact your local EIZO representative.
Do not press on the LCD panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this may result in display malfunctions, such as interference patterns, etc. If pressure is continuously applied to the LCD panel surface, the liquid crystal may deteriorate or the LCD panel may be damaged. (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 LCD panel with any sharp objects, as this may result in damage to the LCD panel. Do not attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch the panel.

About the Installation
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.
If you place this product on a lacquer-coated desk, the color may adhere to the bottom of the stand due to the composition of the rubber. Check the desk surface before use.
About the Maintenance
Periodic cleaning is recommended to keep the monitor looking new and to prolong its operation lifetime (refer
to “Cleaning” (page 4)).

Cleaning

The stains on the cabinet and LCD panel surface can be removed by using the provided ScreenCleaner.
Attention
Chemicals such as alcohol and antiseptic solution may cause gloss variation, tarnishing, and fading of the cabinet or LCD panel, and also quality deterioration of the image.
Never use thinner, benzine, wax, or abrasive cleaner as they may damage the cabinet or LCD panel surface.

To Use the Monitor Comfortably

An excessively dark or bright screen may affect your eyes. Adjust the brightness of the monitor according to the environmental conditions.
Staring at the monitor for a long time tires your eyes. Take a 10-minute rest every hour.

Chapter 1 Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the monitor and the name of each control.

1-1. Features

Large built-in high resolution 4K LCD that is advantageous for
video production
31.1-inch widescreen monitor with support for DCI 4K resolution (4096 × 2160) Supports the digital cinema standard for DCI 4K resolution of 4096 × 2160. In addition to 4K videos, which have a high resolution that is more than 4x greater than full HD, multiple full HD videos can be displayed at the same time.
Faithful reproduction of video colors with a wide color gamut display 99 % of DCI is covered, for a highly accurate color management environment.
Achieves a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1*1 A high contrast ratio allows black to be displayed in a rmer tone.
*1 Standard value. Not a guaranteed value.
Built-in IPS LCD panel with 178° horizontal and vertical wide viewing angles

Support for HDR (High Dynamic Range) video

Complies with the international HDR standards for movies and broadcasts Supports both the HDR "PQ format" for streaming and movie production, and the HDR "Hybrid Log Gamma format" for broadcasts. The "PQ format" complies with the ITU-R BT.2100*2 and SMPTE ST2084*3 international HDR standards, and the "Hybrid Log Gamma format" complies with the ITU-R BT.2100 international HDR standard. This makes it possible to use the monitor for the color grading of a wide range of HDR content, such as movies and broadcasts.
*2 ITU-R is the International Telecommunication Union-Radio communication Sector. *3 SMPTE is the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers.
• High brightness and high contrast ratio
High brightness and a high contrast ratio are achieved by installing a dedicated IPS LCD panel and a dedicated backlight unit with a high level of brightness.
Built-in color mode function Reproduces a color temperature, gamma, and color gamut compliant with ITU-R BT.2100 and other
standards. See “Color Mode” (page 16).

Various functions that support color grading work

Dedicated video production functions, such as a Gamut Warning function and a Luminance Warning function See “Chapter 3 Advanced Adjustments/Settings” (page 13).
4K Zoom function
When a 4K2K signal (a signal with a resolution of 4096 × 2160 or 3840 × 2160) is displayed on the monitor, the specied area can be doubled in size. This is convenient for checking details in an
image. See “Zoom” (page 21).
User-dened custom key function
Work efciency can be improved by assigning frequently used functions to the buttons on the front
of the monitor. See “Chapter 4 Custom Key Settings” (page 27).
Supports the "ColorNavigator NX" color management software
Use ColorNavigator NX to adjust the display according to various video production standards. Since adjustment results are assigned to each color mode in the monitor, the display can be switched with the buttons on the front of the monitor for easy color management.
See “Chapter 6 Calibration” (page 33).
Displays HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Protection) protected content
Monitor hood included as standard
Includes a monitor hood that effectively prevents reections from external light, such as the reected glare of a light. The monitor hood uses magnets for easy attachment and removal.

Equipped with a USB Hub function

• Supports USB 3.0 Achieves high-speed data transfers of up to 5 Gbps, which enables transfers of large amounts of data to and from USB memory devices in a short amount time. Also, the USB downstream port supports quick charging, so you can recharge your smartphone or tablet in a short period of time.
See “8-2. Making Use of the USB Hub Function” (page 38) and “USB CHARGE Port” (page 24).
