6-2. Imaging problems
Problem
1. The screen is too bright or too dark.
2. Characters are blurred.
3. Afterimages appear.
4. White dots or defective dots remain on the
screen.
5. Interference patterns or pressure marks
remain on the screen.
Possible cause and remedy
• Use "Brightness" in the Adjustment menu to adjust it. (The
LCD monitor backlight has a limited life span. When the
screen becomes dark or begins to flicker, contact your
local EIZO representative.)
• Check whether the PC is configured to meet the resolution
and vertical scan frequency requirements of the monitor
(see "Compatible Resolutions" in the "Instructions for
Use".).
• Afterimages are particular to LCD monitors. Avoid
displaying the same image for a long time.
• Use the screen saver or power saving function to avoid
displaying the same image for extended periods of time.
• This is due to LCD panel characteristics and is not a
failure.
• Leave the monitor with a white or black screen. The
symptom may disappear.
