Notice for this monitor
Aside from creating documents, viewing multimedia content, and other general purposes, this product is also suited to 
applications such as graphics creation and digital photo processing, where accurate color reproduction is a priority.
This product has been adjusted specifically for use in the region to which it was originally shipped. If the product is 
used outside the region, it may not operate as specified in the specifications.
This product may not be covered by warranty for uses other than those described in this manual.
The specifications noted in this manual are only applicable for power cords and signal cables specified by us.
Use optional products manufactured or specified by us with this product.As it takes about 30 minutes for the performance of electrical parts to stabilize, adjust the monitor 30 minutes or more 
after the monitor power has been turned on.
In order to suppress the luminosity change by long-term use and to maintain the stable luminosity, use of a monitor in 
lower brightness is recommended.
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.
Periodic cleaning is recommended to keep the monitor looking new and to prolong its operation lifetime (refer to 
“Cleaning” (page 4) ).

interference patterns, etc. If pressure is continually applied to the panel, it may deteriorate or damage your panel. (If 
the pressure marks remain on the panel, leave the monitor with a white or black screen. The symptom may disappear.)
Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, as this may result in damage to the panel. Do not attempt

See “3-7. Sets the brightness of the indicator “Indicator”” (page 25) .
• This product is equipped with a calibration sensor, and supports SelfCalibration in which the monitor 
executes calibration independently.
See “Chapter 4 SelfCalibration” (page 29) .
• The provided “ColorNavigator” calibration software enables you to calibrate monitor characteristics and 
generate color profiles
See “1-3. EIZO LCD Utility Disk” (page 10) .
• Supports Color Vision Deficiency Simulation Software “UniColor Pro”
This software can be downloaded from our web site ( http://www.eizo.com).
• Power saving function
Suppressing the power consumption reduces the carbon dioxide emissions. This product is equipped with power 
saving function.
 - Power Consumption when main power switch is Off: 0 W
Equipped with main power switch.
Turning off the main power switch completely shuts off power supply to the monitor while the monitor is not used.
 - EcoView Sense function
The sensor on the front side of the monitor detects the movement of a person. When a person moves away from the 
monitor, it shifts to the power saving mode automatically and does not display the images on the screen. Therefore, 
the function reduces the power consumption.
See “5-2. Setting the power saving mode when a person leaves the monitor “EcoView Sense”” (page 35) .
• HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Interface)
