1 FEATURES
2 IMAGING ADJUSTMENT
- Screen menu -
All of the icons shown in the ScreenManager 'Screen' menu are described
below .
• Allow the monitor to stabilize for at least 30 minutes before making
image adjustments.
Brightness, Contrast, Size, P osition
These functions are used to adjust the brightness, contrast, size and position
of the screen. For more information about how to adjust each of them,
please refer to the 'Quick Setup Guide', page 8.
Geometry , Tilt, Bright Uniformity
E
Image distortion, tilting and/or the imbalance of brightness over the entire
screen may be caused by the Earth's magnetic field. Use the 'Screen' menu’s
geometry (Side-Pincushion, Side-Pin Balance, T rapezoidal, Parallelogram) adjustment function to correct any geometric distortion.
The tilt adjustment function adjusts both the image tilting and the bright
uniformity (the balance of brightness over the entire screen). For information about how to adjust them, please refer to the T roubleshooting on page 33.
Image distortion, tilting and/or the imbalance of brightness may also be
caused by any device that generates a magnetic field. If the above
adjustments are not effective, try the following approaches.
• Check to see if there are any nearby interfering electronic devices such
as another monitor , an electric motor, or a speaker (other than an
optional EIZO i·Sound speaker unit). If so, move the device or move
the monitor .
• It is sometimes possible to correct distortion, tilting or the imbalance of
brightness by reorienting the monitor .

Convergence
Displayed characters and images may appear fuzzy or have tinges of red,
green, or blue if the electron beams do not converge correctly. These can be
adjusted by the convergence adjustment feature in the ScreenManager .
What is convergence?
Convergence is the monitor’s ability to precisely illuminate specific
phosphors and line them up properly in order to produce pure color .
In order to properly adjust convergence, it is best to have an image that
makes it easy to see any convergence error . A black background with
white letters or lines is the best. This could be a DOS text mode or an
image created with a “paint” program.
When adjusting convergence, look at the adjustment across the whole
screen. When adjusting horizontal convergence, look at the left and right
edges of vertical lines or characters. When adjusting vertical
convergence, look at the top and bottom edges of horizontal lines or
characters. Proper adjustment is when the effect of red and blue tinges are
minimized.
• The convergence adjustment adjusts the entire screen. It is not
possible to limit adjustment to specific screen areas.
Moiré Reduction
2 IMAGING ADJUSTMENT
10
What is moiré?
Moiré refers to an interference pattern of dark wavy lines on the screen.
It is not a defect, but rather an interference phenomenon caused by the
relationship between the phosphor layout and the imaging signal. Moiré
is often an indication of a good focus level. Moiré is particularly
noticeable when using a light-gray or every-other-dot pattern background. Although moiré can not be eliminated, it can be reduced with
the moiré reduction feature.
(Every-other-dot pattern)(Moiré)
Moiré can be reduced in a variety of ways.
1) Adjust with the ScreenManager ’ s moiré reduction function.
Adjust so that moiré becomes almost unnoticeable. Before adjusting, set
the desktop to an every-other-dot pattern (see picture, page 10) so that
moiré will be visible. Following the adjustment, change to a different
desktop background to reduce moiré even further .
2) Change the horizontal and vertical dimensions.
Adjust the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the display area as
necessary to reduce moiré.
3) Change the selected desktop or wallpaper pattern.
Use the PC software to change the desktop or wallpaper pattern. Any
solid color pattern is recommended. For detailed information on how to
change these patterns, refer to the documentation for the PC and
operating system.
• The screen image may shake slightly while the ScreenManager
moiré reduction function is ON. Switching the function OFF will
improve image stability and clarity at the expense of slightly greater
moiré.

3 COLOR ADJUSTMENT
- Color menu -
Outline
EIZO monitors have incorporated two color adjustment mode, standard
and custom. The “Standard” mode allows the adjustment of the color
spectrum. The “Custom” mode allows extensive controls over the colors of
the displayed image on the screen.
All adjustments for either mode can be made quickly and easily through the
ScreenManager 'Color' Menu - offering a tool to create customized color
environment.
Please find the details of the color mode adjustment capabilities below:
Contents Application
Standard mode
Sets color temperature.
Temperature can be set from 4000K to
10000K, in 500K increments. (Additionally,
industry standard of 9300K is set as default.)
For routine work and
printing.
3 COLOR ADJUSTMENT
12
Custom mode
Sets color temperature.
Allows for specific adjustments to Red,
Green and Blue (R/G/B). This consists of
the Cutoff and Gain functions.
* The color adjustment spectrum may vary between monitors.
** A color calibrator can be used for even higher-precision color
adjustment.
• Each monitor is slightly different, if two monitors are set to the same
color temperature value (i.e. 6500K), they may not necessarily look
the same.
For use when high
precision color
adjustment is necessary
(i.e. when there is a need
to obtain identical colors
on multiple monitors* or
match the display color
with printout color**.)
Adjusting the Standard mode
• Users should allow at least 30 minutes for the monitor to stabilize
before setting the color adjustments or color matching.
Procedure
1) Go to the 'Color' menu.
2) Select the “Standard mode” setting from the 'Color mode' menu.
3) Select the 'Temperature' icon. A color temperature bar will appear .
4) Adjust the temperature by using the right or left Arrow keys.
5) Press the ENTER key to save the data.

C o l o r
T e m p r a t u r e
What is color 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.
5000K: Slightly r eddish white. Often used in printing industry .
6500K: W arm-white tone, similar to white paper or daylight. This
temperature is good for video-image display .
9300K: Slightly bluish white. This is the default setting for your
EIZO monitor .
3 COLOR ADJUSTMENT
13
Adjusting the Custom mode
Cutoff and Gain adjustments
Monitors use red, green and blue (R, G, and B) to convey color
information. They use an additive method to combine different
amounts of the primary colors to produce a desired color . In other
words, monitors start with no light (black) and add percentages of red,
green and blue to make colors. White is usually produced by adding the
same amount of all three colors, where black is usually produced by
adding no color .
However , colors are not only determined by the balance but also the
intensities of R, G, and B (how bright they are) which we call Gain, and
the saturation of R, G and B (how vivid or dull they are) which we call
Cutoff.
• Users should allow at least 30 minutes for the monitor to stabilize
before setting the color adjustments or color matching.
• Before you attempt to change the colors, always start with the color
settings set to the "default settings" by using the 'Reset' function in
the ScreenManager 'Others' menu.
• If only a quick setting is required, that is close to the desired color ,
but not exact, skip making any changes to the Cutoff adjustment
(step 4). If a precise match is desired, adjustment of the Cutoff
levels must be made. We recommend that for exact matching, use a
color calibrator.
Procedure
3 COLOR ADJUSTMENT
14
1) For optimum results, before beginning the custom color adjustment,
go to the 'Screen' menu and set the display to maximum brightness
and contrast. (Use the 'Screen' menu’s 'Brightness' and 'Contrast'
icons.)
2) Then, return to the 'Color' menu and select the 'Custom mode'
setting.
3) Set the color temperature.
a) Select the 'T emperature' icon from the sub menu.
b) Select the temperature as desired by moving the arrow keys in
any direction.
4) Adjust the Cutoff
Cutoff
The Cutoff adjustment is the most powerful adjustment. It alters
the starting point (the black level) and the ending point (the white
level). If the Cutoff level for color is raised or lowered, black,
white, and all levels between are raised or lowered by the same
degree.
Before adjusting the Cutoff, it is best to display a screen with a black
background (such as the DOS command screen).
a) Select 'Cutoff' icon. The screen shown on the left will appear .
b) Adjust each color until you can create a uniform black screen.
5) Adjust the Gain
Gain
The Gain adjustment has no effect on the starting point (the black
level). It changes only the ending point (the white level). The Gain
adjustment is used to fine tune the whites and light grays to a good
balance.
Before adjusting the Gain, it is best to display a screen image that has
a white or grayscale background, such as the operating window for
Windows.
a) Select 'Gain' icon. The screen shown on the left will appear.
b) Adjust each color until you can create a uniform white screen.
E
6) To register the adjustment, select the "Save" icon and then press the
ENTER key . If the settings are not saved, all adjustments will be lost.
7) Finally, readjust the contrast in the 'Screen' menu to get the best
image clarity.
• If an inappropriate adjustment is made, corrections can be made by
repeating the above procedure starting from Step 3 (temperature
setting).
• The values shown in percentages (%) for both the Cutoff and Gain
adjustments represent the current level within the specific adjustment only . The y are availab le only as a reference tool. (To create a
uniform white or black screen, the percentages for each will probably
not be the same.)
