Chapter 1 Features and Overview
Thank you very much for choosing an EIZO color LCD monitor.
1-1 Features
• 20” wide format LCD (EV2023W)/23” wide format LCD (EV2303W)
• Applicable to the resolution of 1600 × 900 (EV2023W)/Applicable to the resolution of 1920 × 1080 (EV2303W)
• Power saving function
Suppressing the power consumption* reduces the carbon dioxide emissions.
This product is equipped with various power saving functions.
– Power Consumption when main power switch is Off: 0W
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.
– Auto EcoView function
The sensor on the front side of the monitor detects the environmental brightness to adjust the screen brightness automatically
and comfortably.
Excessively high brightness may lead a damage to the natural environment as well as to your eyes. Suppressing the excessively
high brightness will be helpful to reduce the power consumption and the damage to your eyes.
2-8 “Setting On/Off for the automatic brightness adjustment function [Auto EcoView]” (page 22)
– 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.
2-9 “Shifting to the power saving mode when a person leaves the monitor [EcoView Sense]” (page 22)
– EcoView Index function
The green indicator shows the power consumption ratio responding to the brightness of the monitor. You can realize the power
consumption reduction by taking consideration in the ratio of power saving.
