Notice for this monitor
This product is suited to purposes like displaying video games and viewing multimedia content.
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 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. When the screen becomes dark or begins to icker,
please contact your EIZO representative.
Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this may result in display malfunctions, such
as interference patterns, etc. If pressure is continually applied to the panel, it may deteriorate or damage
your panel. (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 panel with any sharp objects, as this may result in damage to the panel. Do
not attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch the panel.
Notice for this monitor
3
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
Attention
• Chemicals such as alcohol and antiseptic solution may cause gloss variation, tarnishing, and fading of the cabinet
or panel, and also quality deterioration of the image.
• Never use any thinner, benzene, wax, and abrasive cleaner, which may damage the cabinet or panel.
Note
• The optional ScreenCleaner is recommended for cleaning the cabinet and panel surface.
If necessary, the stains on the cabinet and panel surface can be removed by moistening part of a soft
cloth with water.
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.
