  • Page 24: Convergence

    Convergence 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.
  • Page 25: Color Adjustment - Color Menu

    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.
  • Page 26: Adjusting The Standard Mode

    Adjusting the Standard Mode • Users should allow at least 30 minutes for the monitor to stabilize before setting the color adjustments or color matching. Procedure 1) Go to the “Color” menu. 2) Select the “Standard mode” setting from the “Color mode” menu.

    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).
  • Page 28 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.
  • Page 29 • 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.) •...

    There are two power-save settings for the monitor. “VESA DPMS” system works with the VESA DPMS signal. “EIZO MPMS” system works with a screen saver software and Energy Saver for Macintosh which blanks the screen (totally black screen). Set the monitor to match the PC’s power saving software, as follows.
  • Page 32 1) First, make the appropriate settings for the PC. (See note, page 30.) 2) Then select “VESA DPMS”. 3) Set the delay period, which is the interval that the monitor will wait after receiving a power saving signal from the PC, before entering into Mode 1 or Mode 2.
  • Page 33 Mode 1 operates for a user-definable period in “Duration” (in 0-60 minutes) before the monitor enters Mode 2. If the keyboard or the mouse are not in use during this period, the monitor will then enter PowerManager Mode 2. 15 W...
  • Page 34 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.

    6) “No signal detected” error message appears. TROUBLESHOOTING Points to check with possible solutions The termination switch on the rear of the monitor should be set to 75 position (default) for connection to a single monitor. If it is set to the position when using a single monitor, some problems like 1) ~ 4) may occur.
  • Page 45 Adjust the contrast and brightness using the ScreenManager’s “Screen” menu. See page 20. Some signal timings can be the cause of this problem. To correct this, turn off the monitor, then hold down the AUTO-SIZING button and “down” arrow key while turning on the monitor again.
  • Page 46 • An unstable signal from the graphics board may be the cause of the imaging problem 4) when using the monitor with a high resolution or in a high refresh mode. (The video signal from the graphics board might be made irregular due to the use of a high speed dot clock.) Change the resolution or the refresh rate to another setting.
  • Page 47 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 48: Color Problems

    (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. Please wait for about 30 minutes until the monitor stabilizes in order to gain its proper color.

    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.
