4-1. Screen Adjustment
Allow the LCD monitor to stabilize for at least 20 minutes before making image adjustments.
The monitor displays the digital input image correctly based on its pre-setting data.
Screen adjustments for the LCD monitor should be used in suppressing screen flickering and also for adjusting the screen to its proper position. There is only one correct position for each display mode. It is also recommended to use the ScreenManager function when first installing the display or whenever changing the system. For convenience, an easy set-up Program installed on the utility disk to assist in the set-up procedure is provided.
Adjustment Procedure
1. Press the Auto Adjustment button on the control panel.
The message "Your setting will be lost, if you press again now." appears and remains on the screen for 5 seconds. While the message is on the screen, press the Auto Adjustment button again to automatically adjust the clock, phase and screen position. If you do not wish to do adjust the screen, do not press the Auto Adjustment button again.
The Auto adjustment function is intended for use on the Macintosh and on AT-compatible PC
running Windows. It may not work properly in either of the following cases. When running an AT-compatible PC on MS-DOS (Not windows). The background color for the "wall paper" or "desktop" pattern is set to black.
If the appropriate screen cannot be made by using the Auto Adjustment button, adjust the screen through the following procedures.If the appropriate screen can be made, proceed to
step 4.
2. Run the "Screen Adjustment Program".
Having read the "Readme.txt" file, run the "Screen Adjustment Program" in the enclosed EIZO LCD Utility Disk. Step by step, adjustment is provided by the wizard guide. (If using the Windows, the program can be directly run from the menu screen of the CD-ROM.)
If the user's operating system has no utility disk (e.g. OS/2), we recommend setting the desktop
pattern to that as shown in the diagram on the following.

(1) Vertical bars appear on the screen
Use the <Clock> adjustment.
Select the <Clock> and eliminate the vertical bars by using the Right and Left of the Control buttons. Do not continuously press the Control buttons, as the adjustment value will change quickly and make it
difficult to locate the most suitable adjustment point. If the horizontal flickering, blur or bars appear, proceed to <Phase> adjustment as follows.
(2) Horizontal flickering, blurring or bars appear on the screen. Use the <Phase> adjustment.
Select the <Phase> and eliminate the horizontal flickering, blurring or bars by using the Right and Left buttons.
Horizontal bars may not completely disappear from the screen depending on the PC.

The correct displayed position of the monitor is decided because the number and the position of the pixels are fixed. The <Position> adjustment moves the image to the correct position.
Select <Position> and adjust the position of the upper left corner of the image by using the Up, Down, Right and Left buttons in order to align the screen.
If vertical bars of distortion appear after finishing the <Position> adjustment, return to <Clock> adjustment and repeat the previously explained adjustment procedure. ("Clock" "Phase"

10. GLOSSARY

Clock
With the analog input signal display, the analog signal is converted to a digital signal by the LCD circuitry. To convert the signal correctly, the LCD monitor needs to produce the same number clock pulse as the dot clock of the graphics system. When the clock pulse is not correctly set, some vertical bars of distortion are displayed on the screen.
DVI
(Digital Visual Interface) A digital flat panel interface. DVI can transmit digital data from the PC directly without loss with the signal transition method "TMDS". There are two kinds of DVI connectors. One is DVI-D connector for digital signal input only. The other is DVI-I connector for both digital and analog signal inputs.
DVI DMPM
(DVI Digital Monitor Power Management) The Power management system for the digital interface. The "Monitor ON" status (operation mode) and the "Active Off" status (power-saving mode) are indispensable for the DVI-DMPM as the monitor's power mode.
Gain Adjustment
Adjusts each color parameter for red, green and blue. The color of the LCD monitor is displayed through the color filter of the LCD panel. Red, green and blue are the three primary colors. The colors on the monitor are displayed by combining these three colors. The color tone can change by adjusting the illumination amount passed through each color's filter.
Gamma
Generally, the relationship that the light intensity values of a monitor change nonlinearly to the input signal level is called "Gamma Characteristic". On the monitor, low gamma values display the whitish images and high gamma values display the high contrast images.
Phase
The phase adjustment decides the sampling timing point for converting the analog input signal to a digital signal. Adjusting the phase after the clock adjustment will produce a clear screen.
Range Adjustment
The Range Adjustment controls the level of output signal range to display the whole color gradation.
Resolution
The LCD panel consists of a fixed number of pixel elements which are illuminated to form the screen image. The EIZO L578/L778 display panel consists of 1280 horizontal pixels and 1024
Page 44
vertical pixels. At a resolution of 1280 x 1024, all pixels are displayed as a full screen.
sRGB
(Standard RGB) "International Standard for Red, Green, and Blue color space" A color space was defined with the aim of the color matching between applications and hardware devices, such as monitors, scanners, printers and digital cameras. As a standard default space, sRGB allows Internet users to closely match colors.
Temperature
Color Temperature is a method to measure the white color tone, generally indicated in degrees Kelvin. At high temperatures the white tone appears somewhat blue, while at lower temperatures it appears somewhat red. Computer monitors generally give best performance at high temperature settings.
5,000 K: Slightly reddish white. 6,500 K: Warm-white tone, similar to white paper or daylight. 9,300 K: Slightly bluish white.
TMDS
(Transition Minimized Differential Signaling) A signal transition method for the digital interface.
VESA DPMS
(Video Electronics Standards Association - Display Power Management Signaling) The acronym VESA stands for "Video Electronics Standards Association", and DPMS stands for "Display Power Management Signaling". DPMS is a communication standard that PCs and graphics boards use to implement power savings on the monitor side.

Congratulations!
You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.
Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?
In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.
What does labelling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for international and environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).
Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.
The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its operational policy.
The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.
Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.
You will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product on the right. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

Environmental Requirements
Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.
The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.
Cadmium**
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.
The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.
Mercury**
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.
The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labelled unit.
CFCs (freons)
The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning.
The relevant TCO'99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.
