Notice for this monitor
Notice for this monitor
This product is suited to general purposes like creating documents, viewing multimedia content.
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

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.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
Thank you very much for choosing an EIZO color LCD monitor.
1-1. Features
• 26.5” square format LCD (1 : 1 aspect ratio)
• Supports a resolution of 1920 × 1920
Greater vertical work space compared to WUXGA displays. Supports display of vertical A4 size documents in
actual size.
• IPS panel with 89˚ horizontal and vertical viewing angles
• Applicable to DisplayPort (applicable to 8 bit)*1
The DisplayPort input receives both an image signal and an audio signal via a single DisplayPort cable.
*1 When transmitting an audio signal using the DisplayPort cable, the graphics board must be compatible
with audio output (see “6-7. Specications” (page 40)).
• The FineContrast function allows the user to select the display mode optimum to the displayed
image.
- The Paper mode reproduces a printed paper effect on the monitor. In Paper mode, the amount
of blue light emitted from the screen is reduced by changing the color tone and controlling the
brightness.
See “To select the display mode (FineContrast Mode)” (page 13).
• Supports the “ScreenManager Pro for LCD (DDC/CI)” software for adjusting the screen using the
mouse and keyboard
This software can be downloaded from our web site (http://www.eizoglobal.com).
- EyeCare Filter
Texture of the paper is reproduced by displaying a translucent image in the foreground of the desktop.
By using this function with the Paper mode, the screen looks more like paper.
See “To select the display mode (FineContrast Mode)” (page 13).
• Supports the power management software “EIZO EcoView NET”
For more information, refer to our web site (http://www.eizoglobal.com).
• Power saving function
Suppressing the power consumption*2 reduces the carbon dioxide emissions. This product is equipped with
power saving function.
- 0 W power consumption when the main power is off
Equipped with main power switch.
When the monitor is not required, the power supply can be shut off using the main power switch.
- Auto EcoView
The ambient light sensor on the front side of the monitor detects the environmental brightness to adjust
the screen brightness automatically and comfortably. Excessively high brightness may increase power
consumption and cause unwanted environmental effects. It may also lead to fatigue of your eyes. Use the
Auto EcoView to reduce the brightness.
See “4-3. Enabling / Disabling Automatic Brightness Adjustment” (page 24).
- EcoView Sense
The sensor on the front side of the monitor detects the movement of a person. When a person moves
away from the monitor, the monitor shifts to the power saving mode automatically and does not display
the images on the screen. Therefore, the function reduces the power consumption. The sensitivity and
time until the power saving mode is activated can be set according to the monitor usage environment and
movement of the user.
See “4-4. Setting the power saving mode when a person leaves the monitor” (page 25).
*2 Reference values:
Maximum power consumption: 64 W (When a USB device is connected, speaker working)
Standard power consumption: 25 W (Brightness 120 cd/m2, when no USB device is connected, speaker
not working, at default settings)
• Displays HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Protection) protected contents.
