Notice for this monitor
Notice for this monitor
Aside from general purposes like creating documents, viewing multimedia content, this product is also suited to
applications such as graphics creation and digital photo processing, where accurate color reproduction is a priority.
This product has been adjusted specically for use in the region to which it was originally shipped. If the product is
used outside the region, it may not operate as specied in the specications.
This product may not be covered by warranty for uses other than those described in this manual.
The specications noted in this manual are only applicable when the following are used:
· Power cords provided with the product
· Signal cables specied by us
Only use optional products manufactured or specied by us with this product.
It takes about 7 minutes (under our measurement conditions) for the performance of electrical parts to stabilize. Please
wait 7 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.
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 local 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.
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.
• Do not allow liquid to enter the clearance between the panel and the panel frame.
The stains on the cabinet and panel surface can be removed by using the provided ScreenCleaner.

8Chapter 1 Introduction
Attention
Be careful of the following points when using the built-in calibration sensor.
Do not touch the built-in calibration sensor.
It may reduce the measurement accuracy of the built-in calibration sensor, or result in injury
or equipment damage.
Attention
• A high temperature or high humidity environment may affect the measurement accuracy of the built-in calibration
sensor. We suggest storing and using the monitor under the following conditions.
- Temperature 30ºC or less
- Humidity 70% or less
Avoid storing or using the sensor where it may be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Since adjustment accuracy of the monitor by the build-in sensor may be a ected, leave the level of ambient light that
enters the sensor part of the built-in sensor unchanged largely while measuring.
- The use of the monitor hood is recommended.
- While measuring, do not bring the face or the object close to the monitor, do not look into the sensor.
- Set the monitor in the environment so that the light outside does not enter the sensor part directly.
Note
• This monitor supports both portrait and landscape format. You can change the orientation of the Setting menu when
using the monitor screen in vertical display position. (See “Setting Orientation” (page 31))
• When using the monitor screen in a portrait position, the graphics board supporting portrait display is required. When
placing the monitor in a portrait position, the settings of your graphics board need to be changed. Refer to the User’s
Manual of the graphics board for details.
