PRECAUTIONS

LCD Panel

In order to suppress the luminosity change by long-term use and to maintain the stable luminosity, use of a monitor in
lower brightness is recommended.

The screen may have defective pixels. These pixels may appear as slightly light or dark areas on the screen. This is due
to the characteristics of the panel itself, and not the product defect.

The backlight of the LCD panel has a fi xed life span. When the screen becomes dark or begins to fl icker, please contact
your dealer.

Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this may result in damage to the screen. There will be prints
left on the screen if the pressed image is dark or black. If pressure is repeatedly applied to the screen, it may deteriorate
or damage your LCD panel. Leave the screen white to decrease the prints.

Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, such as a pencil or pen as this may result in damage to the
panel. Do not attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch the LCD panel.

When the monitor is cold and brought into a room or the room temperature goes up quickly, dew condensation
may occur inside and outside the monitor. In that case, do not turn the monitor on and wait until dew condensation
disappears, otherwise it may cause damage to the monitor.

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.

5-4 Glossary

Clock

The analog input monitor needs to reproduce a clock of the same frequency as the dot clock of the graphics system in
use, when the analog input signal is converted to a digital signal for image display.
This is called clock adjustment. If the clock pulse is not set correctly, some vertical bars appear on the screen.

DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

DVI is a digital interface standard. DVI allows direct transmission of the PC’s digital data without loss.
This adopts the TMDS transmission system and DVI connectors. There are two types of DVI connectors. One is
a DVI-D connector for digital signal input only. The other is a DVI-I connector for both digital and analog signal
inputs.

DVI DMPM (DVI Digital Monitor Power Management)

DVI DMPM is a digital interface power-saving function. The “Monitor ON (operating mode)” and “Active Off
(power-saving mode)” are indispensable for DVI DMPM as the monitor’s power mode.

Gain

This is used to adjust each color parameter for red, green and blue. An LCD monitor displays the color by the light
passing through the panel color fi lter. Red, green and blue are the three primary colors. All the colors on the screen
are displayed by combining these three colors. The color tone can be changed by adjusting the light intensity (volume)
passing through each color’s fi lter.

Gamma

Generally, the monitor brightness varies nonlinearly with the input signal level, which is called “Gamma
Characteristic”. A small gamma value produces a low-contrast image, while a large gamma value produces a high­contrast image.

Chapter 5 Reference

29

Phase

Phase means the sampling timing to convert the analog input signal to a digital signal. Phase adjustment is made to
adjust the timing. It is recommended that phase adjustment be made after the clock is adjusted correctly.

Range Adjustment

Range adjustment controls the signal output levels to display every color gradation. It is recommended that range
adjustment be made before color adjustment.

Resolution

The LCD panel consists of numerous pixels of specifi ed size, which are illuminated to form images. The EIZO
M1900 monitor consists of 1280 horizontal pixels and 1024 vertical pixels. At a resolution of 1280 × 1024, all pixels
are illuminated as a full screen (1:1).

sRGB (Standard RGB)

International standard for “color reproduction and color space” among peripheral devices (such as monitors, printers,
digital cameras, scanners). sRGB allows Internet users to closely match colors as a simple color matching means for
the Internet use.

Temperature

Color temperature is a method to measure the white color tone, generally indicated in degrees Kelvin. The screen
becomes reddish at a low temperature, and bluish at a high temperature, like the fl ame temperature.
5000K: Slightly reddish white
6500K: Warm white like paper white
9300K: Slightly bluish white

TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling)

A signal transmission system for digital interface.

VESA DPMS (Video Electronics Standards Association - Display Power Management Signaling)

VESA provides the standardization of signals from PC (graphics board) for power saving of PC monitors. DPMS
defi nes the signal status between PC and monitor.

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-infl uencing emissions, radioactive
waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offi ces 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 fi elds, energy consumption and electrical and fi re safety.

The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and
chlorinated fl ame 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 fi elds, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

You will fi nd a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product on the right. The complete
environmental criteria document may be ordered from:
