10 1 INSTALLATION
What is Resolution?
Resolution is expressed as the number of dots (pixels) displayed on the screen. A
larger number of dots produces a more sharply defined (a higher-resolution)
image.
Note that for a given screen size the dot size decreases as the number of dots
increases: a 640 x 480 (dot x line) resolution uses larger pixels than a 1024 x 768
resolution. The display size of a given font therefore varies according to the
resolution. Higher resolutions allow you to display more information on the
screen.
Horizontal Scan
Frequency (kHz)
1-3. Setting the resolution
The following look-up table shows the maximum (Non-interlaced) vertical refresh
rates for this model with regard to standard resolutions set forth by VESA. The
best way to see if the monitor will work with a given resolution and rate, is to
compare the vertical refresh rate of the graphics board to the monitor’s range (Refer
to the graphics board manual for specifications). If the refresh rate is within the
specified range of the monitor, it should operate properly.
Maximum Vertical Refresh rate (Hz)

What is moiré?
Moirérefers to an interference pattern of dark wavy lines
on the screen. It is not a defect, but rather an interference
phenomenon caused by the relationship between the
phosphor layout and the imaging signal. Moiréis often an
indication of a good focus level. Moiréis particularly
noticeable when using a light-gray or every-other-dot
pattern background. Although moirécan not be elimi-
nated, it can be reduced with the moiréreduction feature.

What is color temperature?
Color temperature is a method to measure the white
color tone, generally indicated in degrees Kelvin. At high
temperatures the white tone appears somewhat blue,
while at lower temperatures it appears somewhat red.
Computer monitors generally give best performance at
high temperature settings.
6,500K: This temperature is good for video-image
display.
9,300K: This is the default setting for your EIZO
monitor.

Gain
Cutoff
Cutoff and Gain adjustments
Monitors use red, green and blue (R, G, and B) to
convey color information. They use an additive method
to combine different amounts of the primary colors to
produce a desired color. In other words, monitors start
with no light (black) and add percentages of red, green
and blue to make colors. White is usually produced by
adding the same amount of all three colors, where black
is usually produced by adding no color.
However, colors are not only determined by the balance
but also the intensities of R, G, and B (how bright they
are) which we call Gain, and the saturation of R, G and
B (how vivid or dull they are) which we call Cutoff.
·If only a quick setting is required, that is close to the
desired color, but not exact, skip making any changes to
the Cutoff adjustment (step 4). If a precise match is
desired, adjustment of the Cutoff levels must be made.
We recommend that for exact matching, use a color
calibrator.
Set-up Procedure
(1) Set the monitor to maximum brightness and contrast.
(2) Return to the “Color”menu and select the “Custom
mode”setting.
(3) Set the color temperature.
(4) Adjust the Cutoff.
(5) Adjust the Gain.
(6) Select the “Save”icon and then pres the enter key.
(7) Readjust the contrast in the Screen menu to get the
best image clarity.

·If an inappropriate adjustment is made, corrections can be made by repeating
the above procedure starting from Step 3 (temperature setting).
·The values shown in percentages (%) for both the Cutoff and Gain adjustments
represent the current level within the specific adjustment only. They are available
only as a reference tool. (To create a uniform white or black screen, the
percentages for each will probably not be the same.)
Adjusts: Cutoff
Cutoff
The Cutoff adjustment is the most powerful adjust-
ment. It alters the starting point (the black level) and
the ending point (the white level). If the Cutoff level
for color is raised or lowered, black, white, and all
levels between are raised or lowered by the same
degree.
Adjusts: Gain
Gain
The Gain adjustment has no effect on the starting point
(the black level). It changes only the ending point (the
white level). The Gain adjustment is used to fine tune
the whites and light grays to a good balance.

What is VESA DPMS?
The acronym VESA stands for “Video Electronics
Standards Association,”and DPMS stands for “Display
Power Management Signaling.”DPMS is a
communication standard that PCs and graphics boards
use to implement power savings at the monitor side.
What is ENERGY STAR?
“ENERGY STAR”is a set of power saving guidelines
issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). The guidelines apply to PC systems and
peripherals.
As an ENERGY STAR®Partner, Eizo Nanao Corporation has
determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR®
guidelines for energy efficiency.

20 3 TROUBLESHOOTING
Problems
9) The entire screen appears too
dark or bright.
10) The screen is tilted/
distorted.
11) The image vibrates on the
screen.
Points to check with possible solutions
Adjust the contrast and brightness using the
ScreenManager. See page 11.
Output level from the computer may not conform the
monitor. Please set the video level using the
ScreenManager. See page 17.
Some signal timing can be the cause of this problem. To
correct this, turn off the monitor, then hold down the
AUTO-SIZING button and “down”arrow key while
turning on the monitor again. This will change the
signal timing and brighten the screen. If the above
operation si repeated the screen becomes dark again.
Adjust with the ScreenManager's tilt and distortion
correcting function until tilt/distorting seems
unnoticeable. See page 11.
Check to see if there are any nearby interfering
electronic devices such as another monitor, an electric
motor, or a speaker (other than an optional EIZO
i·Sound speaker unit.) If so, move the device or move
the monitor.
It is sometimes possible to correct distortion and tilting
by reorienting the monitor.
Use of the “Moiré” adjustment may cause a slight.
vibration. To eliminate the vibration, set the adjustment
level to lower percentage or 0%. See page 12.
Check that the signal cable is properly connected to the
graphics board or PC.
Check that the graphics board is correctly mounted in
the PC.
The monitor may be located close to a device that is
generating a magnetic field. Such devices include
speakers (other than the EIZO optional i·Sound
speaker), electric motors, high-voltage cables, and other
monitors. It may be solved by switching off or moving
the interfering device, or by relocating the monitor.
If the volume level of the EIZO optional i·Sound speaker
is too high, it may, in some cases, cause a slight vibra-
tion. To eliminate, turn down the volume of the speaker.
·An unstable signal from the graphics board may be the cause of the above problem when
using the monitor with a high resolution or in a high refresh mode. (The video signal from
the graphics board might be made irregular due to the use of a high speed dot clock.)
Change the resolution or the refresh rate to another setting.
