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 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.
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 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.
