Notice for this monitor
Aside from creating documents, viewing multimedia content, and other general purposes, 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 for power cords and signal cables specied by us.
Use optional products manufactured or specied by us with this product.
As it takes about 30 minutes for the performance of electrical parts to stabilize, adjust the monitor 30 minutes or more
after the monitor power has been turned on.
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.
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. However, missing pixels or lit pixels may appear on
the LCD panel, this is not malfunction. Percentage of effective dots: 99.9994% or higher.
The backlight of the LCD panel has a xed life span. When the screen becomes dark or begins to icker, please contact
your dealer.
Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this may result in the display malfunction, such as the
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 white or black 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 inside and outside the monitor. In that case, do not turn the monitor on and wait until dew condensation
disappears, otherwise it may cause some damages to the monitor.

monitor individually
• Portrait/Landscape display available (rotate 90˚ clockwise)
• Monitor hood attached
• The function indicator below the front buttons lights to improve operability in dark places.
See “3-7. Sets the brightness of the indicator “Indicator”” (page 25).
• This product is equipped with a calibration sensor, and supports SelfCalibration in which the monitor
executes calibration independently.
See “Chapter 4 SelfCalibration” (page 29).
• The provided “ColorNavigator” calibration software enables you to calibrate monitor characteristics and
generate color proles
See “1-3. EIZO LCD Utility Disk” (page 10).
• Supports Color Vision Deciency Simulation Software “UniColor Pro”
This software can be downloaded from our web site (http://www.eizo.com).
• Power saving function

Equipped with main power switch.
Turning off the main power switch completely shuts off power supply to the monitor while the monitor is not used.
- EcoView Sense function
The sensor on the front side of the monitor detects the movement of a person. When a person moves away from the
monitor, it shifts to the power saving mode automatically and does not display the images on the screen. Therefore,
the function reduces the power consumption.
See “5-2. Setting the power saving mode when a person leaves the monitor “EcoView Sense”” (page 35).
• HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Interface)
