About the LCD Panel

It takes about 30 minutes (under our measurement conditions) for the monitor display 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 prevent a loss in the screen quality caused by long-term use and to maintain stable use.
When the screen image is changed after displaying the same image for extended periods of time, an afterimage may appear. Use the screen saver or power save 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.
If the monitor displays continuously over a long period of time, smudges or burn-in may appear. To maximize the life of the monitor, we recommend the monitor be turned off periodically.
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. Depending on the usage pattern, such as usage for long continuous periods, the lifespan of the backlight may run out sooner, requiring replacement. When the screen becomes dark or begins to flicker, please contact your local EIZO representative.
Do not press on the LCD panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this may result in display malfunctions, such as interference patterns, etc. If pressure is continuously applied to the LCD panel surface, the liquid crystal may deteriorate or the LCD panel may be damaged. (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 LCD panel with any sharp objects, at this may result in damage to the LCD panel. Do not attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch the panel.

About the Installation

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.
