LCD Panel  
In order to suppress the luminosity change by long-term use and to maintain the  
stable luminosity, use of a monitor in lower brightness is recommended.  
The screen may have defective pixels. These pixels may  
appear as slightly light or dark area on the screen. This is  
due to the characteristics of the panel itself, and not the  
product.  
The backlight of the LCD panel has a fixed life span. When the screen becomes  
dark or begins to flicker, please contact your dealer.  
Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as  
this may result in damage to the screen. There will be prints  
left on the screen if the pressed image is dark or black. If  
pressure is repeatedly applied to the screen, it may  
deteriorate or damage your LCD panel. Leave the screen  
white to decrease the prints.  
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 timer to avoid  
displaying the same image for extended periods of time.  
When the monitor is cold and brought into a room or the  
room temperature goes up quickly, dew condensation may  
occur inside and outside the monitor. In that case, do not  
turn the monitor on and wait until dew condensation  
disappears, otherwise it may cause some damages to it.

4. ADJUSTMENT  
4-1. Screen Adjustment  
Allow the LCD monitor to stabilize for at least 20 minutes before making image adjustments.  
The monitor displays the digital input image correctly based on its pre-setting data.  
Screen adjustments for the LCD monitor should be used in suppressing screen flickering and also for  
adjusting the screen to its proper position. There is only one correct position for each display mode. It is  
also recommended to use the ScreenManager function when first installing the display or whenever  
changing the system. For convenience, an easy set-up Program installed on the utility disk to assist in the  
set-up procedure is provided.  
Adjustment Procedure  
1. Press the Auto Adjustment button on the control panel.  
The message "Your setting will be lost, if you press again now." appears and remains on the screen for 5  
seconds. While the message is on the screen, press the Auto Adjustment button again to automatically  
adjust the clock, phase and screen position. If you do not wish to do adjust the screen, do not press the  
Auto Adjustment button again.  
The Auto adjustment function is intended for use on the Macintosh and on AT-compatible PC  
running Windows. It may not work properly in either of the following cases.  
When running an AT-compatible PC on MS-DOS (Not windows). The background color for the  
"wall paper" or "desktop" pattern is set to black.  
If the appropriate screen cannot be made by using the Auto Adjustment button, adjust the screen  
through the following procedures.If the appropriate screen can be made, proceed to step 4.  
2. Run the "Screen Adjustment Program".  
Having read the "Readme.txt" file, run the "Screen Adjustment Program" in the enclosed EIZO LCD  
Utility Disk. Step by step, adjustment is provided by the wizard guide. (If using the Windows, the program  
can be directly run from the menu screen of the CD-ROM.)  
If the user's operating system has no utility disk (e.g. OS/2), we recommend setting the desktop  
pattern to that as shown in the diagram on the following.  
   
3. Adjust by using <Screen> menu in the ScreenManager.  
(1) Vertical bars appear on the screen  
Use the <Clock> adjustment.  
Select the <Clock> and eliminate the vertical bars by using the Right and Left of the Control buttons.  
Do not continuously press the Control buttons, as the adjustment value will change quickly and make it  
difficult to locate the most suitable adjustment point. If the horizontal flickering, blur or bars appear,  
proceed to <Phase> adjustment as follows.  
(2) Horizontal flickering, blurring or bars appear on the screen.  
Use the <Phase> adjustment.  
Select the <Phase> and eliminate the horizontal flickering, blurring or bars by using the Right and Left  
buttons.  
Horizontal bars may not completely disappear from the screen depending on the PC.  
(3) The screen position is incorrect.  
Use the <Position> adjustment.  
The correct displayed position of the monitor is decided because the number and the position of the  
pixels are fixed. The <Position> adjustment moves the image to the correct position.  
Select <Position> and adjust the position of the upper left corner of the image by using the Up, Down,  
Right and Left buttons in order to align the screen.  
If vertical bars of distortion appear after finishing the <Position> adjustment, return to <Clock>  
adjustment and repeat the previously explained adjustment procedure. ("Clock" "Phase" →  
"Position")  
     
4. Adjust the output signal range (Dynamic Range) of the signal.  
Use the <Range Adjustment> of <Screen> menu.  
This controls the level of output signal range to display the whole color gradation (256 colors).  
[Procedure]  
Press the Auto Adjustment button on the control panel while displaying the <Range Adjustment> menu to  
automatically adjust the range. The screen blanks for a moment and adjusts the color range to display the  
whole color gradation of the current output signal.  
5. To smooth the blurred texts of the enlarged screen of the lower resolutions.  
Switch the <Smoothing> setting.  
Select the suitable level from 1 - 5 (Soft - Sharp).  
Select <Smoothing> in the <Screen> menu and adjust by using the Right and Left buttons.  
Since the displayed image is enlarged, the blurred texts may not be necessarily lost completely.  
4-2. Color Adjustment

ScreenManager.  
In the analog input, perform the <Range Adjustment> before making the color adjustments.

10. GLOSSARY  
Clock  
With the analog input signal display, the analog signal is converted to a digital signal by the LCD  
circuitry. To convert the signal correctly, the LCD monitor needs to produce the same number  
clock pulse as the dot clock of the graphics system. When the clock pulse is not correctly set, some  
vertical bars of distortion are displayed on the screen.  
DVI  
(Digital Visual Interface)  
A digital flat panel interface. DVI can transmit digital data from the PC directly without loss with  
the signal transition method "TMDS". There are two kinds of DVI connectors. One is DVI-D  
connector for digital signal input only. The other is DVI-I connector for both digital and analog  
signal inputs.  
DVI DMPM  
(DVI Digital Monitor Power Management)  
The Power management system for the digital interface. The "Monitor ON" status (operation  
mode) and the "Active Off" status (power-saving mode) are indispensable for the DVI-DMPM as  
the monitor's power mode.  
Gain Adjustment  
Adjusts each color parameter for red, green and blue. The color of the LCD monitor is displayed  
through the color filter of the LCD panel. Red, green and blue are the three primary colors. The  
colors on the monitor are displayed by combining these three colors. The color tone can change by  
adjusting the illumination amount passed through each color's filter.  
Gamma  
Generally, the relationship that the light intensity values of a monitor change nonlinearly to the  
input signal level is called "Gamma Characteristic". On the monitor, low gamma values display the  
whitish images and high gamma values display the high contrast images.  
Phase  
The phase adjustment decides the sampling timing point for converting the analog input signal to a  
digital signal. Adjusting the phase after the clock adjustment will produce a clear screen.  
Range Adjustment  
The Range Adjustment controls the level of output signal range to display the whole color  
gradation.  
Resolution  
The LCD panel consists of a fixed number of pixel elements which are illuminated to form the  
screen image. The EIZO L578/L778 display panel consists of 1280 horizontal pixels and 1024  
 
vertical pixels. At a resolution of 1280 x 1024, all pixels are displayed as a full screen.  
sRGB  
(Standard RGB)  
"International Standard for Red, Green, and Blue color space" A color space was defined with the  
aim of the color matching between applications and hardware devices, such as monitors, scanners,  
printers and digital cameras. As a standard default space, sRGB allows Internet users to closely  
match colors.  
Temperature  
Color Temperature is a method to measure the white color tone, generally indicated in degrees  
Kelvin. At high temperatures the white tone appears somewhat blue, while at lower temperatures it  
appears somewhat red. Computer monitors generally give best performance at high temperature  
settings.  
5,000 K: Slightly reddish white.  
6,500 K: Warm-white tone, similar to white paper or daylight.  
9,300 K: Slightly bluish white.  
TMDS  
(Transition Minimized Differential Signaling)  
A signal transition method for the digital interface.  
VESA DPMS  
(Video Electronics Standards Association - Display Power Management Signaling)  
The acronym VESA stands for "Video Electronics Standards Association", and DPMS stands for  
"Display Power Management Signaling". DPMS is a communication standard that PCs and  
graphics boards use to implement power savings on the monitor side.

Congratulations!  
You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you  
with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing  
the burden on the environment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted  
electronics products.  
Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?  
In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of  
goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipment are  
concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture.  
Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these  
potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.  
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the  
viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of electricity  
generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive  
waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby  
consumes a lot of energy.  
What does labelling involve?  
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for international and environmental  
labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish  
Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature  
Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).  
Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electric and  
magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.  
The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and  
chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be  
prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to  
in each country where the company implements its operational policy.  
The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of inactivity,  
shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the  
computer shall be reasonable for the user.  
Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electric and  
magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.  
You will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product on the right. The complete  
environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

Environmental Requirements  
Flame retardants  
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to  
prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of  
flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are  
chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing  
bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive  
damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been  
found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.  
The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain  
flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed  
circuit boards since no substitutes are available.  
Cadmium**  
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer displays.  
Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.  
The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the  
electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.  
Mercury**  
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in  
high doses.  
The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that  
mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labelled unit.  
CFCs (freons)  
The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture  
and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break  
down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of  
ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.  
Lead**  
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system  
and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning.  
The relevant TCO'99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.  
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.  
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are haevy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
