• The specifications noted in this manual are only applicable when the following are used:
  • Power cords provided with the product
  • Signal cables specified by us

• If you place this product on a lacquer-coated desk, the color may adhere to the bottom of the stand due to the composition of the rubber. Check the desk surface before use.
• It takes about 3 minutes (under our measurement conditions) for the performance of electrical parts to stabilize. Please wait 30 minutes or more after the monitor power has been turned on, and then adjust the monitor.
• Monitors should be set to a lower brightness to reduce changes in luminosity caused by long-term use and maintain a stable display.
• When the screen image is changed after displaying the same image for extended periods, an afterimage may appear. Use the screen saver or power save function to avoid displaying the same image for extended periods.
• If the monitor displays continuously over a long period, dark smudges or burn-in may appear. To maximize the life of the monitor, we recommend the monitor be turned off periodically.
• Periodic cleaning is recommended to keep the monitor looking new and to prolong its operation lifetime (refer to “Cleaning” (page 4)).
• The LCD panel is manufactured using high-precision technology. Although missing pixels or lit pixels may appear on the LCD panel, this is not a malfunction. Percentage of effective dots: 99.9994% or higher.
• The backlight of the LCD panel has a fixed lifetime. When the screen becomes dark or begins to flicker, please contact your local EIZO representative.
• Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this may result in display malfunctions, such as interference patterns, etc. If pressure is continually applied to the panel, it may deteriorate or damage your panel. (If the pressure marks remain on the panel, leave the monitor with a black or white screen. The symptom may disappear.)
• Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, as this may result in damage to the panel. Do not attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch the panel.
• When the monitor is cold and brought into a room or the room temperature goes up quickly, dew condensation may occur on the interior and exterior surfaces of the monitor. In that case, do not turn the monitor on. Instead, wait until the dew condensation disappears, otherwise it may cause some damage to the monitor.
