7Chapter 1  Features and Overview

Chapter	1	 Features	and	Overview
Thank you very much for choosing an EIZO color LCD monitor.
1-1	 Features
• 20” wide format LCD (EV2023W)/23” wide format LCD (EV2303W)
•  Applicable to the resolution of 1600 × 900 (EV2023W)/Applicable to the resolution of 1920 × 1080 (EV2303W)
•  Power saving function
  Suppressing the power consumption* reduces the carbon dioxide emissions.
  This product is equipped with various power saving functions.
– Power Consumption when main power switch is Off: 0W
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.
– Auto EcoView function
The sensor on the front side of the monitor detects the environmental brightness to adjust the screen brightness automatically 
and comfortably. 
Excessively high brightness may lead a damage to the natural environment as well as to your eyes. Suppressing the excessively 
high brightness will be helpful to reduce the power consumption and the damage to your eyes.
2-8 “Setting On/Off for the automatic brightness adjustment function [Auto EcoView]” (page 23)
–  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. 
2-9 “Shifting to the power saving mode when a person leaves the monitor [EcoView Sense]” (page 23)
– EcoView Index function
The green indicator shows the power consumption ratio responding to the brightness of the monitor . You can realize the power 
consumption reduction by taking consideration in the ratio of power saving.
2-10 “Setting On/Off for the power saving level indicator [EcoView Index]” (page 24)
