If you place this product on a lacquer-coated desk, the color may adhere to the bottom of the stand due to
the composition of the rubber. Check the desk surface before use.
It takes about 30 minutes (under our measurement conditions) for the monitor display 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. Depending on the image, an afterimage may appear even if it was displayed for
a short period of time. To remove such a phenomenon, change the image or keep the power turned off for
several hours.
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. Depending on the usage pattern, such as usage for
long continuous periods, the lifespan of the backlight may run out sooner, requiring replacement. When the
screen becomes dark or begins to icker, please contact your local EIZO representative.
Do not press on the LCD panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this may result in display malfunctions, such
as interference patterns, etc. If pressure is continuously applied to the LCD panel surface, the liquid crystal
may deteriorate or the LCD panel may be damaged. (If the pressure marks remain on the panel, leave the
monitor with a black or white screen. The symptom may disappear.)

Function Setting
Value Description
Auto EcoView On
Off
The ambient light sensor on the front of the monitor
detects the ambient brightness to automatically adjust
the screen brightness to a comfortable level using Auto
EcoView. The power consumption of the backlight can
be curtailed by adjusting the brightness to an appropriate
level.
This function can also mitigate eye strain and tiredness
caused by a screen that is too bright or too dark.
Note
• Be careful not to block the ambient light sensor on the
lower side of the monitor when using Auto EcoView.
• Even when the Auto EcoView setting is “On”, the
operation switch on the front of the monitor or color
adjustment can be used to change the “Brightness”
to suit your personal preference. Moreover, the
manner in which the Auto EcoView function changes
brightness also differs according to the changed
value.
• When “DICOM” is selected for the color mode, the
Auto EcoView setting is turned “Off”.
EcoView Optimizer 2 On
Off
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.
Note
• The setting is turned “Off” in the following cases:
- When “Movie” or “DICOM” is selected for the color
mode
- During PbyP/PinP display
• When set to “On”, the appearance of pale colors may
change. If this bothers you, set this function to “Off”.
