Notice for this monitor

This product is suited to purposes like displaying video games and viewing multimedia content.

This product has been adjusted specically for use in the region to which it was originally shipped. If the product is

used outside the region, it may not operate as specied in the specications.

This product may not be covered by warranty for uses other than those described in this manual.

The specications noted in this manual are only applicable when the following are used:

· Power cords provided with the product

· Signal cables specied by us

Only use optional products manufactured or specied by us with this product.

It takes about 30 minutes 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 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.

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 xed lifetime. When the screen becomes dark or begins to icker, 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.

To reduce motion blur

Reduces image blurs (motion blurs) which occur when displaying animated images.

Motion blur occurs when the eye recognizes liquid crystal transitions which come from changing screens

(frames). When “Turbo 240” is set to “On”, the backlight ickers in sync with liquid crystal transition

*1

so the

change cannot be seen, thereby achieving clear images with less blur.

*1 This monitor converts 120 Hz input signals into 240 Hz within the panel, and doubles the refresh rate to draw two

images per frame. At the rst display the screen is refreshed, and at the second display the screen is displayed

correctly. When “Turbo 240” is set to “On”, the backlight is turned off for the rst display.

Procedure

1. Choose “Color” from the Setting menu, and press

.

2. Choose “Advanced Settings” from “Color”, and press

.

3. Choose “Turbo 240” from the “Advanced Settings” menu, and press

.

The “Turbo 240” menu appears.

4. Select “On” or “Off” with or , and press .

5. Press

to exit.

Attention

• When the Turbo 240 setting is changed, the screen is not displayed for about a second.

• Eye fatigue may occur if the eye senses the ickering of the backlight. In such a case, turn the setting to “Off”.

• When the “Turbo 240” setting is “On”, the screen is less bright than when the setting is “Off”.

• When the color mode is “FPS1” or “FPS2”, the “Turbo 240” setting is xed as “On”.

• When the color mode is “Web”, the “Turbo 240” setting is xed as “Off”.

Note
