This product has been adjusted specically for use in the region to which it was originally shipped. If the
product is used outside the region, it may not operate as specied in the specications.
This product may not be covered by warranty for uses other than those described in this manual.
The specications noted in this manual are only applicable when the following are used:
• Power cords provided with the product
• Signal cables specied by us
Only use optional products manufactured or specied by us with this product.
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.
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, dark smudges or burn-in may appear. To
maximize the life of the monitor, we recommend the monitor be turned off periodically.
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 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, at this may result in damage to the LCD
panel. Do not attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch the panel.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Thank you very much for choosing an EIZO color LCD monitor.
1-1. Features
• 24.1″ wide format LCD
• Supports a resolution of 1920 × 1200
• Applicable to DisplayPort (applicable to 8 bit)
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 DtisplayPort cable, the graphics board must be compatible with audio
output (see “6-7. Specications” (page 45)).
• The Color Mode 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. In Paper mode, the amount of blue light
emitted from the screen is reduced by changing the color tone and controlling the brightness.
See “To select the display mode (color mode)” (page 14).
• 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.
See “Auto EcoView” (page 28).
- 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 specied by the input signal.
See “EcoView Optimizer 2” (page 29).
- 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 29).
*2 Reference values:
Maximum power consumption: 36 W (Brightness Max., when a USB device is connected, speaker working, at
default settings)
Standard power consumption: 12 W (Brightness 120 cd/m
at default settings)
• Supports portrait and landscape formats
• Displays HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Protection) protected contents.

, when no USB device is connected, speaker not working,
Note
• This monitor supports the portrait display. This function allows you to change the orientation of the Setting menu when
using the monitor screen in vertical display position (see “3-5. Setting Orientation” (page 24)).
• When using the monitor screen in a portrait position, the graphics board supporting portrait display is required. When
placing the monitor in a portrait position, the settings of your graphics board need to be changed. Refer to the User’s
Manual of the graphics board for details.
