Notice for this monitor

This product is suited to general purposes like creating documents, viewing multimedia content (Assuming usage of approximately 12 hours per day). If using this product for the following kinds of applications, where an extremely high degree of reliability and safety is required, then measures should be in place to maintain safety while using this product.

• Transportation equipment (ships, aircraft, trains, and automobiles)

• Safety devices (Disaster prevention systems, security control systems, etc.)

• Life-critical devices (medical devices, such as life-support devices and operating room devices)

• Nuclear energy control devices (Nuclear energy control systems, security control systems of nuclear facilities, etc.)

• Major system communication devices (operation control systems of transportation systems, air trafc control systems, etc.)

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.

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.

Notice for this monitor

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.

Cleaning

The stains on the cabinet and LCD panel surface can be removed by moistening part of a soft cloth with water.

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.

Note

• It is recommended that ScreenCleaner (available as an option) be used to clean the cabinet and 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

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. Specications” (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 specied 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.
