Notice for this monitor

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

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 for power cords and signal cables specied by us.

Use optional products manufactured or specied by us with this product.

As it takes about 30 minutes for the performance of electrical parts to stabilize, adjust the monitor 30 minutes or more after the monitor power has been turned on.

In order to suppress the luminosity change by long-term use and to maintain the stable luminosity, use of a monitor in lower brightness is recommended.

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” on the next page.)

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

The backlight of the LCD panel has a xed life span. When the screen becomes dark or begins to icker, please contact your dealer.

Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this may result in the display malfunction, such as the

interference patterns, etc. If pressure is continually applied to the LCD panel, it may deteriorate or damage your LCD panel. (If the pressure marks remain on the LCD panel, leave the monitor with a white or black screen. The symptom may disappear.)

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

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

Chapter 1 Features and Overview

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

1-1 Features

• 20” wide format LCD (EV2023W)/23” wide format LCD (EV2303W)

• Applicable to the resolution of 1600 × 900 (EV2023W)/Applicable to the resolution of 1920 × 1080 (EV2303W)

• Power saving function

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

–

Power Consumption when main power switch is Off: 0W

Equipped with main power switch. Turning off the main power switch completely shuts off power supply to the monitor while the monitor is not used.

–

Auto EcoView function

The sensor on the front side of the monitor detects the environmental brightness to adjust the screen brightness automatically and comfortably. Excessively high brightness may lead a damage to the natural environment as well as to your eyes. Suppressing the excessively high brightness will be helpful to reduce the power consumption and the damage to your eyes.

2-8 “Setting On/Off for the automatic brightness adjustment function [Auto EcoView]” (page 23)

– EcoView Sense function

The sensor on the front side of the monitor detects the movement of a person. When a person moves away from the monitor, it shifts to the power saving mode automatically and does not display the images on the screen. Therefore, the function reduces the power consumption. 2-9 “Shifting to the power saving mode when a person leaves the monitor [EcoView Sense]” (page 23)

–

EcoView Index function

The green indicator shows the power consumption ratio responding to the brightness of the monitor. You can realize the power consumption reduction by taking consideration in the ratio of power saving.

2-10 “Setting On/Off for the power saving level indicator [EcoView Index]” (page 24)

• FineContrast function

2-3 “To select the display mode (FineContrast mode)” (page 18)
