    PRECAUTIONS IMPORTANT! * This product has been adjusted specifically for use in the region to which it was originally shipped. The performance of the product, (i.e. picture geometry, picture positioning and color convergence and purity in the case of color monitors) is optimally adjusted to the earth's magnetic field of the specific destination.
  • Page 5 WARNING • If the monitor begins to emit smoke, smells like something is burning, or makes strange noises, disconnect all power connections immediately and contact your dealer for advice. Attempting to use a malfunctioning monitor can be dangerous. • Do not dismantle the cabinet or modify the monitor. Dismantling the cabinet or modifying the monitor may result in electric shock or burn.
  • Page 6 • Use the enclosed power cord. If using the power cord other than the enclosed one, use the following cord. In USA and Canada: In Europe: Failure to do so may cause fire or electric shock. • Do not overload your power circuit, as this may result in fire or electric shock.
  • Page 7 • Handle with care when carrying the monitor Note that the monitor is heavier at the front than at the rear. Do not move it alone. Always work with another person. The screen is optically coated to reduce glare. Keep hard objects (such as buttons, tie pins, and other clothing accessories) away from the screen surface to prevent scratches.
  • Page 8 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.

    - Screen menu - All of the icons shown in the ScreenManager “Screen” menu are described below. • Allow the monitor to stabilize for at least 30 minutes before making image adjustments. Brightness, Contrast, Size, Position These functions are used to adjust the brightness, contrast, size and position of the screen.

  • Page 20: Geometry, Tilt, Uniformity

    • 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, tilting or the imbalance of brightness/whiteness by reorienting the monitor.

  • Page 21: Convergence

    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 convergence 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.

  • Page 22: Moiré Reduction

    Moiré Reduction 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.

    5000K: Slightly reddish white. Often used in printing industry. 6500K: Warm-white tone, similar to white paper or daylight. This temperature is good for video-image display. 9300K: Slightly bluish white. This is the default setting for your EIZO monitor. SCREEN ADJUSTMENT...

  • Page 25: Adjusting The Custom Mode

    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.
  • Page 26 a) Select the “Temperature” icon from the sub menu. b) Select the temperature as desired by moving the arrow keys in any direction. 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.

    • When the monitor is in a power saving mode, the optional EIZO i·Sound speaker unit will turn off.

  • Page 29: Set-Up Procedure

    Set-up Procedure Set the monitor’s power-save environment to match the PC’s ScreenSaver software. • For the PC setup, please refer to the user’s manuals for the PC and graphics board. There are two power-save settings for the monitor. “VESA DPMS” system works with the VESA DPMS signal. “NUTEK”s system works with a screen saver software and Energy Saver for Macintosh which blanks the screen (totally black screen).
  • Page 30 VESA DPMS System 1) First, make the appropriate settings for the PC. (See note, page 29.) 2) Then select “VESA DPMS”. 3) Set the delay period, which is the interval that the monitor will wait after receiving a power-save signal from the PC, before entering into Mode 1 or Mode 2.
  • Page 31 NUTEK System 1) First make the appropriate ScreenSaver settings (Macintosh/Energy Saver) for the PC. 2) Then select “NUTEK”. 3) Set the delay time, which is the interval between the time that the ScreenSaver (Macintosh/EnergySaver) blanks the screen and the time that the monitor enters Mode 1.

  • Page 32: Autopower Function

    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 NUTEK? NUTEK is the acronym for the Swedish National Board for Industrial and Technical Development, an organization that works to promote...

  • Page 36: Troubleshooting

    3-1 Troubleshooting This page presents problems that can be corrected by the user. If a problem persists even after applying the suggested remedies, contact an EIZO dealer. Problems caused by incorrectly setting of the termination switch Problems 1) Misconvergence of colors.

  • Page 37: Imaging Problems

    Problems “ Out of range ” error message appears. (Example) • Error messages will remain on the screen for 30 seconds, and then disappear. An error message may not appear at all if the signal frequency is extremely high or extremely low.
  • Page 38 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 vibration. To eliminate, turn down the volume of the speaker.
  • Page 39 See page 22. • 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).
  • Page 40 Problems 3) Misconvergence of colors. (red, green, blue) 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.
  • Page 41 • 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.
  • Page 42 Problems 7) Faint black vertical lines are visible on the screen. (only T68) • For problems with the USB function, refer to the troubleshooting on page 47. TROUBLESHOOTING Points to check with possible solutions • The aperture grille may be misaligned. Shock or vibration during transport may, in some cases, cause the aperture grille to fall out of alignment.

  • Page 43: Getting The Most From Your Monitor

    (Example) Connect one PC to the monitor’s D-Sub connector and another to the BNC connector. The BNC connection should be made with an EIZO BNC cable, available as an option. • Be sure that the monitor and the PC are both switched off before connecting them.

    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.
