(The brightness and contrast functions are also available in the ScreenManager “Screen” menu.) See the diagram described below for adjustment directions.
2-2 Imaging Adjustment - Screen Menu - E All of the icons shown in the ScreenManager “Screen” menu are described below. • Allow the monitor to stabilize for at least 30 minutes before making image adjustments. Function Contrast/ Brightness Adjusts: a) Contrast b) Brightness · If you use the white text against a black background like DOS text, we recommend that you set the brightness to its maximum setting because a dark setting will result in eye strain due to high character contrast.
Function Parallelogram/ Trapezoidal · Tilts: image sides to sides · Expands: top side/bottom side, shrinking the other side Tilt Tilts: the image Uniformity Adjusts: the uniformity Convergence Adjusts: Adjusts: horizontal convergence vertical convergence What is convergence? Convergence is the monitor’s ability to precisely illuminate specific phosphors and line them up properly in order to produce pure color. • The convergence adjustment adjusts the entire screen.
2-3 Color Adjustment - Color Menu - E Outline EIZO monitors have incorporated two color adjustment modes, standard and custom. The “Standard” mode allows the adjustment of the color spectrum. The “Custom” mode allows extensive controls over the colors of the displayed image on the screen. Please find the details of the color mode adjustment capabilities below: Content Application Standard mode Sets color temperature. Temperature can be set from 4,000K to 10,000K, in 500K increments.
Adjusting the Standard Mode Function Color Temperature (left/right) Color Temperature Adjusts: (Standard Mode) What is color 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. 5,000K: Slightly reddish white. Often used in printing industry.
Function B N C / A U TO D -S U B White Window Pattern 1) Open a www browser, e.g. Internet Explorer, and the Pattern.html in the utility disk. · For compensation, if this file is not available, please open a window on the Windows or Macintosh OS for alternative use. Set the background to black, and open a white window whose size is more than 1/5 and less than 1/2 of the whole display area. Refer to the picture on the left. 2) Press the Color Correction icon.
Adjusting the Custom Mode Cutoff and Gain adjustments Monitors use red, green and blue (R, G, and B) to convey color information. They use an additive method to combine different amounts of the primary colors to produce a desired color. In other words, monitors start with no light (black) and add percentages of red, green and blue to make colors. White is usually produced by adding the same amount of all three colors, where black is usually produced by adding no color.
Function E Color Temperature Color Temperature Adjusts: (Custom Mode) a) Select the “Temperature” icon from the sub menu. b) Select the temperature as desired by moving the arrow keys in any direction. Cutoff Adjusts: Cutoff (select colors: up/down) (change percentages: right/left) Cutoff The Cutoff adjustment is the most powerful adjustment. It alters the starting point (the black level) and the ending point (the white level).
2-4 Power-save Setup - PowerManager menu - What is PowerManager? The PowerManager feature automatically reduces the monitor’s power consumption during idle periods, in accordance with the PCs ScreenSaver software. There are two PowerSaving modes in the EIZO PowerManager: Mode 1 and Mode 2. Even if the monitor is in a power saving mode, it will return to a normal display immediately when the mouse or keyboard is operated. The EIZO PowerManager functions comply with EIZO MPMS and VESA DPMS standard.
Set-up Procedure Set the monitor’s power-save environment to match the PC’s ScreenSaver software. • For the PC setup, please refer to the user’s manuals for the PC and graphics board. There are two power-save settings for the monitor. “VESA DPMS” system works with the VESA DPMS signal. “EIZO MPMS” system works with a screen saver software and Energy Saver for Macintosh which blanks the screen (totally black screen). Set the monitor to match the PC’s power saving software, as follows.
VESA DPMS System 1) First, make the appropriate settings for the PC. 2) Then select “VESA DPMS”. 3) Set the delay period, which is the interval that the monitor will wait after receiving a power saving signal from the PC, before entering into Mode 1 or Mode 2. VESA DPMS power saving method VESA DPMS utilizes four signals: ON, STANDBY, SUSPEND, and OFF. The monitor detects these signals from the graphics board and executes power saving accordingly, as illustrated below.
EIZO MPMS System E 1) First make the appropriate ScreenSaver settings (Macintosh/Energy Saver) for the PC. 2) Then select “EIZO MPMS”. 3) Set the delay time, which is the interval between the time that the ScreenSaver (Macintosh/EnergySaver) blanks the screen and the time that the monitor enters Mode 1. 4) Set the Mode 1 duration time which is the user definable time (0-60 minutes) before the monitor enters Mode 2.
What is VESA DPMS? 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 at the monitor side. What is EIZO MPMS? EIZO MPMS, "EIZO Monitor PowerManager Signaling", also enables to execute power saving at the monitor side.
2-5 Other Settings - Others Menu - E All of the icons shown in the ScreenManager “Others” menu are described below. Function Degaussing degausses What is degaussing? “Degaussing” refers to the process of removing magnetic-field effects from the monitor. Operation of the monitor within a magnetic field may adversely effect color purity. Degaussing can be used to correct the problem. • The degauss circuitry takes about 30 minutes to regain maximum power following degaussing.
Function Manual The monitor will not detect signals automatically in this mode. Select the active input by pressing the input signal selection button on the monitor’s front panel. · The Input Priority function does not automatically reactivate when the monitor has been in the power saving mode. · The Input selection button on the front panel can be used to select either D-Sub or BNC as the active input at any time.
Function Signal Filter 1 This monitor provides signal filter adjustments according to the characteristics of each graphics board for displaying the image properly. If the characteristics of the graphics board does not match those of the monitor, the characters and images displayed may have a slight shadow on their right side (refer to figure below). If these phenomenon is noticeable, use the “Signal Filter 1” functon. Select from mode 1 or mode 2, whichever displays the image better.
Function Setup Procedure (1) Select the “Off Timer” icon and press the Enter button to display “Off Timer” select menu. (2) Select “Enable” and press the enter button. (3) Press the right/left key to adjust how long (1 to 23 hours) the monitor should be in the “On Period”. Then, press the enter button to return to the “others” menu. (4) Select the “Exit” icon and push the Enter button to exit the ScreenManager.
E Function Reset Use this function to return all ScreenManager parameters (size, position, geometry, color, PowerManager, etc.) to their factory default settings. Default settings are as follows. Screen: • Contrast: • Brightness • Moiré: 100 % 50 % OFF Color • Standard/9,300 K PowerManager • VESA DPMS/5 sec.
3 GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR MONITOR 3-1 i·Sound™ Sound Unit The i·Sound is a separately sold speaker system which connects directly to the monitor and can be used to support multimedia applications. The unit includes a microphone function and a headphone jack. For further details, please consult an authorized EIZO dealer near you. 3-2 Making use of USB (Universal Serial Bus) - For USB compliant system environmentsThis monitor provides a hub which supports the USB standard.
(For Windows 98) 1) Connect the upstream port of the monitor to the downstream port of the USB compliant PC or another hub using the EIZO USB cable (MD-C93). • When connecting the USB cable, check that the shape of the connector at the USB cable side matches the shape at the connecting side. Upstream connector Upstream Port: Connect the USB compliant PC or another hub using the EIZO USB cable (MD-C93). 2) “EIZO USB Hub” appears on the screen.
Connect the USB compliant peripherals to the downstream ports of the monitor: (Connection examples) Front port (Example) Rear port (Example) USB Specifications 38 3 USB standard Rev. 1.0 complied self-powered hub USB Monitor Control Class Standard Rev. 1.0 complied Downstream power supply 500 mA for each (Max.) Communication speed 12 Mbps (full), 1.
Troubleshooting Problems Points to check with possible solutions 1) USB function cannot be setup. Check that the USB cable is correctly connected. Check that the PC and OS is compliant to the USB. (For the USB support of the system, consult the manufacturer of each system.) Check the PC’s BIOS setting for the USB. (For details, refer to the manual of the PC.) 2) • PC hangs. Check that the USB cable is correctly connected. Conect the peripherals to other downstream ports.
4 TROUBLESHOOTING This page presents problems that can be corrected by the user. If a problem persists even after applying the suggested remedies, contact an EIZO dealer. n Problems caused by incorrectly setting of the termination switch Problems 1) Misconvergence of colors. 2) Focus is dull. 3) PowerManager does not work properly in VESA setting. 4) Slight shadow appears on the edges of the screen image or text. (Only for the BNC connections.
Problems 7) “Out of range” error message appears. (Example) Points to check with possible solutions Use the graphics board’s utility software to change the frequency setting. (Refer to the manual of the graphics board.) • Whenever an error signal message appears, the signal frequency will be displayed in red. • Error messages will remain on the screen for 30 seconds, and then disappear. An error message may not appear at all if the signal frequency is extremely high or extremely low.
Problems Points to check with possible solutions 3) The screen is tilted/distorted. Adjust with the ScreenManager’s tilt and distortion correcting function until tilt/distortion seems unnoticeable. See page 20. Check to see if there are any nearby interfering electronic devices such as another monitor, an electric motor, or a speaker (other than an optional EIZO i·Sound speaker unit). If so, move the device or move the monitor.
Problems 5) The image has a background shadow. E Points to check with possible solutions Try adjusting the convergence in the ScreenManager’s Screen menu. See page 20. This problem can occur when using BNC connection and the termination switch is set incorrectly. The termination switch should be set to 75 Ω for a connection to a single monitor. See page 10. 6) The characters and images have a slight shadow on their right side.
Non-Interlaced / Interlaced In a “non-interlaced” scan, the electric guns draw the entire image in one vertical pass, with each pass covering every horizontal line. In a “interlaced” scan, the guns draw the entire image by scanning vertically twice. At the first scanning, the guns draw every other horizontal line. At the second, they draw the other lines. Thus, in a “interlaced scan”, the image flickers more visibly when compared with a “non-interlaced” scan.
Problems 4) Color correction does not work properly. Points to check with possible solutions E Allow 30 minutes for the monitor to warm up. Color Correction does not work properly when the input signal level is lower than 0.5 Vp-p or higher than 1.0 Vp-p. The size of the window may not be appropriate. Use the Pattern.html file for setup or adjust the size of the window. The termination switch on the rear of the monitor should be set to 75 Ω position (default) when connecting the monitor with BNC cable.
5 CLEANING WARNING • Keep liquids away from the monitor. Spillage into the cabinet may result in fire, electric shock, or equipment damage. If an object or liquid falls/spills into the cabinet, unplug the monitor immediately. Have the unit checked by a qualified service engineer before using it again. Using the monitor in this condition could cause serious injury or equipment damage. CAUTION • To ensure safety, always unplug the monitor before cleaning it. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
