3. (The continuation)
Use of the <Moiré Reduction> adjustment may cause a
slight vibration. To eliminate the vibration, set the
adjustment level to lower percentage or 0%.
If the volume level of the EIZO optional i·Sound speaker
is too high, it may, in some cases, cause a slight
vibration. To eliminate, turn down the volume of the
speaker.
4. 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.
5. Moiré patterns appear.
Reduce the moiré using the <Moiré Reduction>.
Change the horizontal and vertical size 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 PC and operating
system manual.

8. The entire screen appears
too dark or bright.
Adjust the <Contrast> (Contrast and Brightness).
Try changing the setting of the fine contrast by using the
AUTO/FINE MODE button.
Some signal timing can be the cause of this problem. To
correct this, turn off the monitor, then hold down the
“down” arrow key while turning on the monitor again.
This will change the signal timing and brighten the
screen. If the above operation is repeated, the screen
becomes dark again.
Execute the <Color Restoration>.
9. Color is abnormal.
• The entire screen appears
bluish or reddish.
When the monitor is not fully warmed up, the screen may
look slightly colored, e.g. bluish or reddish. This
phenomenon is due to the unstableness of the electron gun
during its warm-up period. Wait for about 30 minutes
until the monitor stabilizes in order to gain its proper
color.
• Color purity is not
uniform.
• Misconvergence of
colors(red, green, blue)
Adjust the <Degauss>.
Return the factory default setting by using <Reset>.
Note that all the ScreenManager parameters will be
returned to the factory default setting. (p. 26)
Adjust the <Uniformity>.
Try adjusting the <Convergence>. The <Convergence>
function adjusts the entire screen. It is not possible to
limit adjustment to specific screen areas.

These are damper wires.
[About Damper wires]
14. Two horizontal hairlines
are visible on the screen.
Damper 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.

15. 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 solved by:
1. Degaussing the screen.
2. 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.
16. USB function cannot be
setup.
Check that the USB cable is correctly connected.
Check that the PC and OS are USB compliant. (Please
consult the manufacturer of each device about USB
support.)
When using the Windows 98/Me/2000, check the BIOS
setting of the PC for the USB. (Refer to the PC manual
for details.)

6. CLEANING
Periodic cleaning is recommended to keep the monitor looking new and to prolong its
operational lifetime. Clean the cabinet and CRT areas as follows:
• Never use thinner, benzene, alcohol (ethanol, methanol, or
isopropyl alcohol), abrasive cleaners, or other strong
solvents, as these may cause damage to the cabinet or CRT.
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.

8. GLOSSARY
ColorTemperature
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: Often used in printing industry.
6,500K: Good for video-image display.
9,300K: Default setting for your EIZO monitor.
Convergence
Convergence is the monitor’s ability to precisely illuminate specific phosphors and
line them up properly in order to produce pure color.
Cutoff and Gain
All colors displayed on the screen are produced by the combination of the light’s
three primary colors, red, green, and blue. For example, white will be displayed
when the amount of luminescence of red, green and blue is at the almost same
rate. Theoretically, black will be displayed when red, green and blue don’t emit
light at all. However, actually, on the screen the amount of luminescence of
each color is not zero and each color emits light slightly. The luminosity of each
color at this time is called cutoff (Black level), and the luminosity of each color
on the basis of the cutoff is called gain.
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.
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 background. Although moiré can not be
eliminated, it can be reduced with the moiré reduction feature.
30 8. GLOSSARY
sRGB (Standard RGB)
“International Standard for Red, Green, and Blue color space”
A color space was defined with the aim of the color matching between
applications and hardware devices, such as monitors, scanners, printers and
digital cameras. As a standard default space, sRGB allows Internet users to
closely match colors.
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.
Uniformity
The uniformity is the purity of the color when a white screen is displayed on
screen. Some monitors have blue or pink tinted areas that exhibit poor white
uniformity. Some monitors have some brighter and darker areas, then this is an
indication of bright uniformity error.
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 on the monitor side.
8. GLOSSARY 31
[Applicable to gray (standard) color version only.]
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
encouraging 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.
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
