When a monitor has multiple signal inputs, the signal to display on-screen can be changed.

2-3. Switching Display Modes (Color Modes)
This product is preinstalled with color modes for various display purposes.
Switch the mode according to the purpose and content for display. This allows the monitor to display
images in a manner appropriate to the display content.

●●Display Modes
Color Mode

Purpose

User1
User2

Select either of these modes to set a user-defined display mode.

sRGB

This mode is suitable for matching color reproduction with peripheral devices that
support sRGB, such as when printing photos taken using a digital camera.

Paper

This mode uses color tones and contrast similar to that of paper to produce a printed
paper effect. It is suitable for displaying images from media such as books anddocuments.

2-4. Conserving Energy
This monitor is equipped with EcoView functions to enable users to conserve energy.
Use this function to curtail unnecessary power consumption and save on electricity expenses. Saving
power also reduces carbon dioxide emissions.

10

Chapter 2 Basic Adjustment/SettingNote•• The power saving level (Power Reduction, CO2 Reduction, and Eco Performance Level) can be checked on the“EcoView Settings” menu. The more indicators that light up representing the Eco Performance Level, the higher
the power saving level attained.
-- Power Reduction: the reduction in the backlight’s power consumption as a result of the adjusted brightness
value.
-- CO2 Reduction: converted from the “Power Reduction” value, this is an estimate of the quantity of CO2
emissions reduced when using the monitor for 1 hour.
•• The numeric value is a result of calculation based on a default setting (0.000555t-CO2/kWh) determined by aJapanese ministerial ordinance (2006, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Ministry of Environment, civil
code article 3) and may differ depending on country and year.

Function

Description

Auto EcoView

The ambient light sensor on the front of the monitor detects theambient brightness to automatically adjust the screen brightness

Problem
1. The screen is too bright or too dark.

•• Use “Brightness” or “Contrast” in the Setting menu toadjust it (see “Color Adjustment” (page 14)). (The LCD
monitor backlight has a limited life span. If the screen
becomes dark or begins to flicker, contact your local EIZO
representative.)•• If the screen is too bright, try changing the Auto EcoView
setting to “On”. The monitor detects the ambient
brightness to adjust the screen brightness automatically(see “Auto EcoView” (page 11)).

2. Brightness changes on its own.

•• Try changing the Auto EcoView setting to “Off” (see “Auto
EcoView” (page 11)).

3. “Brightness” cannot be adjusted.
•• Cannot increase/decrease setting value( oris displayed in gray)--“Brightness” menu via
operation switch/--“Brightness” menu in color adjustment/•• Cannot increase/decrease setting value( andare displayed in gray)--“Brightness” menu via
operation switch--“Brightness” menu in color adjustment

Possible cause and remedy

When Auto EcoView is set to “On”, “Brightness” may not be
adjustable due to the advanced settings of Auto EcoView.
•• The bright adjustment range of the Auto EcoView function
can be limited to ensure that the screen is neither too
bright nor too dark. When the adjustment range is limited,values outside the range cannot be set. If you want to
set a value outside the range, try changing the following
settings.
--Change the maximum and minimum values for“Brightness” in the Auto EcoView advanced settings.
--Set Auto EcoView to “Off”.
For details on Auto EcoView settings, see “Auto EcoView”(page 11).
•• Brightness adjustment may not be possible when the
installation environment of the monitor is excessively
bright or dark. In this case, try changing the following
settings.
--Change the maximum and minimum values for “Ambient
Light” in the Auto EcoView advanced settings.
--Set Auto EcoView to “Off”.
For details on Auto EcoView settings, see “Auto EcoView”(page 11).

4. Text is blurred.

•• Check whether the PC is configured to meet the resolution
and vertical scan frequency requirements of the monitor(see “1-2. Supported Resolutions” (page 7)).
•• When an image is displayed with a resolution other thanrecommended, text or lines in the displayed image may
blur. In this case, try adjusting “Sharpness” in the Setting
menu (see “Sharpness” (page 17)).

5. Afterimages appear.

•• 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.
Depending on the image, an afterimage may appear even
if it was displayed for a short period of time. To remove
such a phenomenon, change the image or keep the power
turned off for several hours.

6. Green / red / blue / white / dark dots remainon the screen.

•• This is due to LCD panel characteristics and not a
malfunction.

7. Interference patterns or pressure marks
remain on the LCD panel.

•• Leave the monitor with a white or black screen. The
symptom may disappear.
