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.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
Thank you very much for choosing an EIZO color LCD monitor.
1-1. Features
• 31.5″ wide format LCD
• Supports a resolution of 3840 × 2160
• IPS panel with 89˚ horizontal and vertical viewing angles
• Supports four digital signal input interfaces (DisplayPort × 2, DVI-D (Dual Link/Single Link) × 1, HDMI × 1)
- DisplayPort (8-bit support) *1
The DisplayPort input receives both image signals and audio signals via a single DisplayPort cable.
*1 When transmitting an audio signal using the DisplayPort cable, the graphics board must support audio output.
See “6-5. Specications” (page 51).
-HDMI
Supports PC signals via HDMI input.
The HDMI input receives both image signals and audio signals via a single HDMI cable.
• Equipped with “Picture by Picture (PbyP)” and “Picture in Picture (PinP)” functions that allow simultaneous display of multiple signals
Eliminates the need for changing between signals and leads to increased work efciency.
See “2-4. Conguring PbyP/PinP” (page 16).
• The Color Mode 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 “2-3. Switching Display Modes (Color Modes)” (page 15).
• Power saving functions
Suppressing power consumption*2 reduces carbon dioxide emissions. This product is equipped with power saving functions.
- 0 W power consumption when the main power is off
Equipped with a main power switch.
When not using the monitor, the power supply can be shut off with the main power switch.
- Auto EcoView
The ambient light sensor on the front of the monitor detects the ambient brightness to automatically adjust the screen brightness to a comfortable level. Excessively
high brightness may increase power consumption and cause unwanted environmental effects. It may also lead to eye fatigue. The range of automatic adjustment can be
congured to personal preference.
See “Auto EcoView” (page 21).

- 8 -
Chapter 1 Introduction
- EcoView Optimizer 2
The monitor automatically adjusts the screen brightness according to the white level of the input signal. This function can reduce power consumption while maintaining
the brightness specied by the input signal.
See “EcoView Optimizer 2” (page 21).
- EcoView Sense
The sensor on the front of the monitor detects user movement. When the user moves away from the monitor, the monitor shifts to power saving mode automatically and
does not display images on the screen in order to reduce power consumption. The sensitivity of the sensor and time until power saving mode is activated can be set
according to the monitor usage environment and movement of the user.
See “EcoView Sense” (page 22).
*2 Reference values:
Maximum power consumption: 105 W (when a USB device is connected, speaker working)
Standard power consumption: 30 W (brightness 120 cd/m2, when no USB device is connected, speaker not working, at default settings)
• Equipped with a USB Hub function that supports USB 3.0
Achieves high-speed data transfers of up to 5 Gbps, which enables transfers of large amounts of data to and from USB-connected devices in a short amount time.
The USB downstream “CHARGE” port supports quick charging that allows charging of smartphones and tablets in a short time.
See “6-4. Making Use of USB (Universal Serial Bus)” (page 49) and “USB CHARGE Port” (page 31).
• Stand with wide range of movement
The monitor can be adjusted to a position that provides a comfortable and less tiring work environment.
Tilt: 35˚ up/5˚ down, swivel: 344˚, adjustable height: 141 mm (tilt: 35˚) / 139 mm (tilt: 0˚)
• Displays HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Protection) *3 protected contents.
*3 Supports HDCP Version 1.x
• Supports the “ScreenManager Pro” software for adjusting the screen using the mouse and keyboard
This software can be downloaded from our web site (http://www.eizoglobal.com).
• Supports the “EIZO Monitor Congurator” software for creating monitor conguration les
When installing multiple units of this monitor, this software allows users to apply a single conguration le to all monitors at the same time. This increases the efciency of
monitor installation work by eliminating the need for conguring each monitor individually.
For more information, refer to our web site (http://www.eizoglobal.com).

2-5. Conserving Energy
This monitor is equipped with EcoView functions to enable users to conserve energy.
Use this function to curtail unnecessary power consumption and save on electricity expenses. Saving power also reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
Note
• The power saving level (Power Reduction, CO2 Reduction, and Eco Performance Level) can be checked on the “EcoView Settings” menu. The more indicators that light up
representing the Eco Performance Level, the higher the power saving level attained.
- Power Reduction: the reduction in the backlight’s power consumption as a result of the adjusted brightness value.
-CO2 Reduction: converted from the “Power Reduction” value, this is an estimate of the quantity of CO2 emissions reduced when using the monitor for 1 hour.
* The numeric value is a result of calculation based on a default setting (0.000555 t -CO2/kWh) determined by a Japanese ministerial ordinance (2006, Ministry of Economy,
Trade and Industry, Ministry of Environment, civil code article 3) and may differ depending on country and year.
Level of power saving
