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 trafc control systems,
etc.)
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

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 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. 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.

DICOM
Select either of these modes to set a user-dened display mode.
This mode is suitable for matching color reproduction with peripheral devices that
support sRGB, such as when printing photos taken using a digital camera.
This mode uses color tones and contrast similar to that of paper to produce a printed
paper effect. It is suitable for displaying images from media such as books and
documents.
This mode displays moving images brightly and with a clear-cut three-dimensional
appearance. It is suitable for playing back video content.
Select this mode to simply display medical purpose digital images based on DICOM

.
Attention
• This is not intended to be used for diagnostic purposes.
Note
• “Screen InStyle” allows you to select the color mode automatically according to the application in use.
• In Paper mode, the amount of blue light emitted from the screen is reduced by changing the color tone and
controlling the brightness.
2-4. Conserving Energy
This monitor is equipped with EcoView functions to enable users to conserve energy.
Use this function to curtail unnecessary power consumption and save on electricity expenses. Saving
power also reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
Chapter 2 Basic Adjustment/Setting
13
Note
• The power saving level (Power Reduction, CO2 Reduction, and Eco Performance Level) can be checked on the
“EcoView Settings” menu. The more indicators that light up representing the Eco Performance Level, the higher
the power saving level attained.
- Power Reduction: the reduction in the backlight’s power consumption as a result of the adjusted brightness
value.
- CO
Reduction: converted from the “Power Reduction” value, this is an estimate of the quantity of CO2
2
emissions reduced when using the monitor for 1 hour.
• The numeric value is a result of calculation based on a default setting (0.000555t-CO2/kWh) determined by a
Japanese ministerial ordinance (2006, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Ministry of Environment, civil
code article 3) and may differ depending on country and year.

Description
The ambient light sensor on the front of the monitor detects
the ambient brightness to automatically adjust the screen
brightness to a comfortable level using Auto EcoView. The
power consumption of the backlight can be curtailed by
adjusting the brightness to an appropriate level.
This function can also mitigate eye strain and tiredness
caused by a screen that is too bright or too dark.
Use the “Advanced Settings” to set the automatic adjustment
range to suit the monitor’s usage environment or personal
preference.
Note
• Be careful not to block the ambient light sensor on the
lower side of the monitor when using Auto EcoView.
• Even when the Auto EcoView setting is “On”, the
operation switch on the front of the monitor or color
adjustment can be used to change the “Brightness” to
suit your personal preference. Moreover, the manner in
which the Auto EcoView function changes brightness
also differs according to the changed value.
• When “DICOM” is selected for the color mode, the Auto
EcoView setting is turned “Off”.
