* Do not remove the tilt-swivel stand.

Using the monitor in this way blocks the ventilation slots and

prevents proper airflow, leading to fire or other damage.

• Do not remove the tilt-swivel stand.

The stand is required to maintain clearance for the ventilation

slots on the bottom of the cabinet. Removing the stand will

block these slots and may result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not touch the plug with wet hands.

Touching the plug with wet hands is dangerous and can cause

electrical shock.

• At the end of the day or if you plan to leave the monitor

unused for an extended period, after turning off the power

switch disconnect the power cord from the wall socket so

that no power connections are made.

• Unplug the monitor before cleaning it.

Cleaning the monitor while it is plugged into a power outlet may

result in electric shock.

PRECAUTIONS

For users of the EIZO optional i·Sound™ sound

unit and i·Station™ USB hub

• When adjusting the viewing angle of the monitor,

do not do so by handling the sound unit or USB

hub.

Adjusting the monitor in this way may break the unit or

cause bodily injury.

Others

• Do not install the monitor within an area subject to strong

magnetic fields (for example, in the vicinity of a speaker,

except the optional i·Sound unit, or a high-voltage

transformer). Magnetic fields can cause noise, image

shaking, and other distortions.

• Generally, for maximum viewing comfort position the

monitor slightly below eye level. Staring at the monitor

for prolonged periods can cause eye strain. Be sure to take

adequate rests. (A 10-minute rest period each hour is

suggested.)

• Do not remove the covers to the power terminal for the

optional i·Sound speaker unit for any reason except to

monitor’s power indicator (LED) will light up (green). The monitor

will warm up briefly, then display an image. Whenever you finish

your operation, turn off the PC and the monitor.

•

If an image does not appear, make sure that all connections have been

made properly. Refer to the“TROUBLESHOOTING” section on page

44 for additional advice.

1-2 Using the AUTO-SIZING Button

After connecting the monitor to the PC, first press the AUTO-SIZING

button on the front panel. The AUTO-SIZING function centers the

displayed image, aligning the image’s borders with respect to the monitor

frame.

INSTALLATION

When the timing of the computer is same as the preset timing or has been

recognized before, the following message will appear and remain on the

screen for 5 seconds. While the message is on the screen, push the button

again to automatically adjust the screen position. If not wishing to do adjust

the screen, do not push the button again or press the control pad. The

message will disappear.

In general, press the AUTO-SIZING button whenever changing the graphics

board or the resolution or when image size and/or position is incorrect.

ADJUSTMENTS & SETTINGS USING THE SCREENMANAGER

Uniformity

“Uniformity” function adjusts the bright/white

uniformity of the screen influenced by the earth

magnetism or other environmental factors. There are

two adjustment modes in the “Uniformity” function;

“Standard” and “Custom”. If some color patches

remain in the corners after the standard adjustment

(selection of the best uniformity point), use the

“Custom” for finer adjustments.

Standard

1) Select the “Uniformity” function. At “Standard”,

the icons, N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, and NW

represent a broad direction the screen is facing.

Select the direction the screen is facing until the

imbalance of brightness/whiteness over the entire

screen will be minimized. Default setting is “no

gauss”. Press enter as you finish.

2) To register the adjustment, select the “Save” icon

and then press the ENTER key. If the settings are

not saved, all adjustments will be lost.

•

Choosing the direction at the “Standard”

adjustment may not offer its best uniformity

because of other environmental effects.

the “Others” menu, all the data except for one of the

uniformity adjustment return to the default.

• After performing the above adjustment, the screen

images somewhat tilts. This can be corrected by

using the “Tilt” adjustment function.

ADJUSTMENTS & SETTINGS USING THE SCREENMANAGER

Convergence

Displayed characters and images may appear fuzzy or have

tinges of red, green, or blue if the electron beams do not

converge correctly. These can be adjusted by the conver-

gence adjustment feature in the ScreenManager.

What is convergence?

Convergence is the monitor’s ability to precisely illuminate specific

phosphors and line them up properly in order to produce pure color.

In order to properly adjust convergence, it is best to have an image that

makes it easy to see any convergence error. A black background with

white letters or lines is the best. This could be a DOS text mode or an

image created with a “paint” program.

When adjusting convergence, look at the adjustment across the whole

screen. When adjusting horizontal convergence, look at the left and right

edges of vertical lines or characters. When adjusting vertical convergence,

look at the top and bottom edges of horizontal lines or characters. Proper

adjustment is when the effect of red and blue tinges are minimized.

•

The convergence adjustment adjusts the entire screen. It is not

possible to limit adjustment to specific screen areas.

Moiré

What is moiré?

Moiré refers 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.

Moiré is often an indication of a good focus level. Moiré is particularly

noticeable when using a light-gray or every-other-dot pattern back-

ground. Although moiré can not be eliminated, it can be reduced with

the moiré reduction feature.

In order to adjust the moiré, follow the procedure below.

1) Set the desktop to an every-other-dot pattern.

2) Select “On” in the ScreenManager’s “Moiré

Reduction” menu.

3) Adjust so that moiré becomes almost unnoticeable

using the four arrow keys.

4) Change to a different desktop background to

reduce moiré even further.

ADJUSTMENTS & SETTINGS USING THE SCREENMANAGER

2-3 Color Adjustment - Color Menu -

Outline

EIZO monitors have incorporated two color adjustment modes, standard

and custom. The “Standard” mode allows the adjustment of the color

spectrum. The “Custom” mode allows extensive controls over the colors

of the displayed image on the screen.

Please find the details of the color mode adjustment capabilities below:

Content

Application

Standard mode

Sets color temperature.

For routine work and

printing.

Temperature can be set from 4,000K to

10,000K, in 500K increments.

(Additionally, industry standard of

9,300K is set as default.)

Custom mode

For use when high

precision color

Sets color temperature.

adjustment is necessary

(i.e. when there is a need

to obtain identical colors

on multiple monitors* or

match the display color

with printout color**.)

Allows for specific adjustments to Red,

Green and Blue (R/G/B). This consists of

the Cutoff and Gain functions.

* The color adjustment spectrum may vary between monitors.

** A color calibrator can be used for even higher-precision color

adjustment.

•

Each monitor is slightly different, if two monitors are set to the same

color temperature value (i.e. 6,500K), they may not necessarily look

the same.

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.

5,000K: Slightly reddish white. Often used in printing industry.

6,500K: Warm-white tone, similar to white paper or daylight. This

temperature is good for video-image display.

9,300K: Slightly bluish white. This is the default setting for your

EIZO monitor.

ADJUSTMENTS & SETTINGS USING THE SCREENMANAGER

Adjusting the Custom Mode

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.

•

Users should allow at least 30 minutes for the monitor to stabilize before

setting the color adjustments or color matching.

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.

Procedure

1) For optimum results, before beginning the custom color adjustment,

go to the “Screen” menu and set the display to maximum brightness

and contrast. (Use the “Screen” menu’s “Brightness” and “Contrast”

icons.)

2) Then, return to the “Color” menu and select the “Custom mode”

setting.

3) Set the color temperature.

a) Select the “Temperature” icon from the sub menu.

b) Select the temperature as desired by moving the arrow keys in any

direction.

ADJUSTMENTS & SETTINGS USING THE SCREENMANAGER

4) Adjust the Cutoff

Cutoff

The Cutoff adjustment is the most powerful adjustment. 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.

Before adjusting the Cutoff, it is best to display a screen with a black

background (such as the DOS command screen).

a) Select “Cutoff” icon. The screen shown on the left will appear.

b) Adjust each color until you can create a uniform black screen.

•

If color adjustment is not set in accordance with the instructions, color

tones may change when Contrast/Brightness is adjusted.To avoid this,

please first set the desired color temperature, then use Cutoff/Gain for

fine adjustments.

5) Adjust the 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.

Before adjusting the Gain, it is best to display a screen image that has

a white or grayscale background, such as the operating window for

Windows.

a) Select “Gain” icon. The screen shown on the left will appear.

b) Adjust each color until you can create a uniform white screen.

6) To register the adjustment, select the “Save” icon and then press the

ENTER key. If the settings are not saved, all adjustments will be lost.

7) Finally, 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).

ADJUSTMENTS & SETTINGS USING THE SCREENMANAGER

•

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.)

These diagram explains how the color curves were changed for the

best adjustment in steps 4 and 5.

Adjust the white level so

that the high end of the

curve for each color

(R,G,B) is equal as see

3 .

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 EIZO MPMS?

EIZO MPMS, "EIZO Monitor PowerManager Signaling", also

enables to execute power saving at the monitor side. EIZO MPMS

recognizes the video signals from the PC when the PC is in a power

saving mode, and reduces energy consumption of the monitor.

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.

2-5 Other Settings - Others Menu -

All of the icons shown in the ScreenManager “Others” menu are

described below.

Degaussing

The monitor automatically degausses every time the power is turned ON

and every time it is reactivated from the PowerManager power saving

Mode 2. A degaussing function is provided in the ScreenManager for use

at other times. Note that the image vibrates slightly while degaussing is in

progress, but will return to normal when degaussing is completed.

•

The degauss circuitry takes about 30 minutes to regain maximum

power following degaussing before it can work again.

What is degaussing?

“Degaussing” refers to the process of removing magnetic-field effects

from the monitor. Operation of the monitor within a magnetic field

may adversely effect color purity. Degaussing can be used to correct the

problem.

Input Priority

This function is used to select which PC will have priority to control the

monitor when utilizing two PCs.

There are three settings available:

“D-Sub”, “BNC” or “Manual”. The default priority setting is “D-Sub”.

The monitor constantly checks the input signals and switches

automatically in accordance with the “Input Priority” settings (see chart

on next page). Once a priority is set, whenever a change of signal is

detected at the selected input, the monitor will switch the input to that

signal.

In the case of only one signal being present at either input, the monitor

automatically detects and displays that signal.

to 75 Ω for a connection to a single monitor. See

page 11.

6) The characters and images

have a slight shadow on their

right side.

Change the mode of “Signal Filter 1” function in

the ScreenManager “Others” menu. See page 37.

This may be solved by changing the refresh rate.

7) The characters and images

have several vertical bars on

their right side.

Decrease the vertical bars at the “Signal Filter 2”

function in the ScreenManager “Others” menu.

See page 37.

8) Moiré patterns are

distracting.

Go to the ScreenManager’s “Screen” menu.

Switch on the moiré reduction feature and adjust

as necessary. See page 24.

Change the horizontal and vertical dimensions of

the display area.

Change the selected desktop or wallpaper pattern

to any solid color pattern. For detailed

information on how to change these patterns, refer

to the documentation for the PC and operating

system.

9) The image is flickering.

Flicker will occur with interlaced scanning, or

non-interlaced scanning with a low refresh rate.

All EIZO monitors are capable of reproducing

high refresh rates for non-interlaced scanning. If a

problem occurs when using a non-interlaced

signal, try adjusting the graphics board to increase

the refresh rate (if possible). Refer to the graphics

board manual for information.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Non-Interlaced / Interlaced

In a “non-interlaced” scan, the electric guns draw the entire image in one vertical

pass, with each pass covering every horizontal line.

In a “interlaced” scan, the guns draw the entire image by scanning vertically twice.

At the first scanning, the guns draw every other horizontal line. At the second, they

draw the other lines. Thus, in a “interlaced scan”, the image flickers more visibly

when compared with a “non-interlaced” scan.

Flicker

The term “flicker” refers to noticeable shimmering that occurs when the image on the

screen is redrawn (“refreshed”) too slowly. A refresh rate of 80 Hz means the image

is redrawn 80 times per second. Most people will notice flicker at image refresh rates

as high as 60 or 70 Hz, whereas refresh rates of 72 Hz or above usually is not

noticeable. Flicker is known to be the cause of visual fatigue.

n Color problems

Problems

Points to check with possible solutions

1) The entire screen appears

bluish or reddish.

The CRT is not warmed up. Allow 30 minutes for

the monitor to stabilize.

2) Color purity is not uniform.

Degauss the screen. (Use the degaussing feature in

the ScreenManager’s “Others” menu. See page

35.)

3) Misconvergence of colors.

(red, green, blue)

Allow 30 minutes for the monitor to warm up.

Adjust the convergence using the Convergence

feature in the ScreenManager’s Screen menu. See

page 24.

This problem can occur when using a BNC

connection and the termination switch is set

incorrectly. The termination switch should be set

to 75 Ω for connection to a single monitor.

Explanation of the Characteristics of CRTs

When the monitor is not fully warmed up, the screen may look slightly colored, e.g.

reddish or bluish. This phenomenon is due to the unstableness of the electron gun

during its warm-up period. Please wait for about 30 minutes until the monitor

stabilizes in order to gain its proper color.

Problems

Points to check with possible solutions

1) The monitor beeps or hums.

The monitor emits a humming noise when

executing automatic degaussing at power-ON.

This is not a problem.

The monitor beeps at any time. This is not a

problem. See page 36 for full details.

2)• Control Pad “ENTER key”

does not operate.

The Adjustment Lock is probably on. To unlock:

switch off the monitor power, then hold down the

AUTO-SIZING button and switch the monitor

back on. See page 19.

• AUTO-SIZING button

does not operate.

3) AUTO-SIZING button does

not work properly.

The Auto-sizing function is intended for use on the

Macintosh and on IBM compatibles running

Windows. It may not work properly if either of

the following applies.

- You are running an AT-compatible PC on

MS-DOS (not Windows).

- The background color for the “wallpaper” or

“desktop” pattern is set to black.

Some signals from graphics boards may not

function properly.

• A solid-color screen (i.e. red, green, blue) may appear for an instant while

performing the auto-sizing function, this phenomenon is not a failure.

4) Characters are too large.

Change the resolution of the graphics board to a

higher setting. (Refer to the manual for the

graphics board or PC.)

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 × 480 (dot × line) resolution uses larger pixels than a 1024 × 768

resolution. The display size of a given font therefore varies according to the resolu-

tion. Higher resolutions allow you to display more information on the screen.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Changing the resolution

If you are using a Macintosh, you can change the resolution from the APPLE menu by

selecting “Option” from “Monitor” or “Sound & Display.” If you are using a PC

other than a Macintosh, refer to the manual for your PC or graphics board for

information. Please refer to both the graphics board and monitor manuals for the

scanning frequency compatibility.

Problems

Points to check with possible solutions

5) Two horizontal hairlines are

visible on the screen.

These are dampening wires. Dampening wires are

used to support the CRT’s aperture grille, and are

visible as thin dark lines across the screen. All

EIZO aperture-grille type CRTs include two such

horizontal wires.

The aperture grille itself is a grid of taut metal

filaments that spans the entire screen from top to

bottom.

6) Faint black vertical lines are

visible on the screen.

The aperture grille may be misaligned. Shock or

vibration during transport may, in some cases,

cause the aperture grille to fall out of alignment.

The problem will appear as one or more faint

black lines across the screen.

If this problem occurs, it may be able to solved by:

•

degaussing the screen, or

lightly tapping (do not hit) the side of

the monitor.

If neither of these methods works, try executing

the following procedure.

1) Display a bright white field over the area where

the black line(s) appear, with a black field over

the unaffected areas. (Do this by opening a

bright-white window on top of a black desktop

or wallpaper background. Position the window

so that it just covers the area of misalignment.)

2) Set brightness and contrast to maximum values,

and keep the display ON until the problem is

corrected. Try tapping the side of the display

lightly to help expedite realignment. The white

field will heat up the misaligned area of the

grille, returning it to proper alignment.

•

For problems with the USB function, refer to the troubleshooting on page 43.

immediately. Have the unit checked by a qualified service engineer

before using it again.

Using the monitor in this condition could cause serious injury or

equipment damage.

CAUTION

•

To ensure safety, always unplug the monitor before cleaning it.

Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

Periodically clean the area around the plug.

Buildup of dust, water, or oil on the plug may result in fire.

Never use thinner, benzene, or other strong solvents, abrasive

cleaners, or alcohol (ethanol, methanol, or isopropyl alcohol) as

these may cause damage to the cabinet or CRT.

Periodic cleaning is recommended to keep the monitor looking new and

to prolong its operational lifetime. Clean the cabinet and CRT areas as

follows.

Cabinet

To remove stains, wipe the cabinet with a soft, lightly moistened cloth

using a mild detergent. Do not spray wax or cleaner directly onto the

cabinet.

CRT Surface

The monitor comes with a special cloth specifically designed to remove

fingerprints and dust from the screen. The cloth is washable, and will

remain effective regardless of the number of times it is washed. If the

supplied cloth is not available, you can clean the CRT surface with

cotton or lens paper.

If necessary, stubborn stains can be removed by moistening part of a

cloth with water to enhance its cleaning power.

Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO’99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you

with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the

burden on the environment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted

electronics products.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encourag-

ing the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as

computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful

substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far

possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially

damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.

There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are

important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments.

Since all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic

and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics

equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for international

and environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a

joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska

Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens

Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).

Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability,

emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals,

brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among

other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to

have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company

implements its operational policy.

The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain

period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages.

The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the

reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product.

Environmental requirements

Flame retardants

Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings.

Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a

computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain

bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of

environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the

PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-

eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been

found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.

The relevant TCO’99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams

must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame

retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain

computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The

relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display

screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system

and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not

contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or

electronics components associated with the labelled unit.

CFCs (freons)

The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during

the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing

printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the

stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of

skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.

Lead**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the

nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO’99 requirement

permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.
