Attention

It takes about 30 minutes for the monitor display to stabilize. Please wait 30 minutes or more after power to the monitor has been turned on before adjusting the monitor.
The same image may be observed in different colors on multiple monitors due to monitor-specific characteristics. Make fine color adjustments visually when matching colors across multiple monitors. Follow the procedure below to adjust and match colors across multiple monitors.
Display a white screen on each monitor.
Use one of the monitors as a visual reference point to make adjustments to "Brightness", "Temperature", and "Gain" on the other monitors.
When Auto EcoView is set to "On", the same brightness setting is shared by all of the color modes and cannot be set individually for each color mode.

Color Mode

Settings: "User1" / "User2" / "Eco" / "sRGB" / "Paper" / "Movie" / "DICOM"

Switch to the mode that suits the usage of the monitor.

The color mode settings can also be adjusted according to personal preference. Select the color mode for adjustment and perform adjustment using the relevant functions.

Note

For details on the adjustment status of each color mode, see Switching Display Modes (Color Modes).

Brightness

Settings: "0" – "100"

The screen brightness is adjusted by changing the brightness of the backlight (light source from the LCD back panel).

Note

If the image is too dark even when the brightness is set to 100, adjust the contrast.

Contrast

Settings: "0" – "100"

You can adjust the brightness of the screen by varying the video signal level.

Note

When the contrast is set to 50, all color gradations will be displayed.
When adjusting the monitor, it is recommended to perform brightness adjustment, which does not lose gradation characteristics, prior to contrast adjustment.
Perform contrast adjustment in the following cases:
If the image is too dark even when the brightness is set to 100 (Set the contrast to higher than 50.)

Temperature

Settings: "Off" / "4000 K" – "10000 K" (in increments of 500 K, including 9300 K)

Adjusts the color temperature.

The color temperature is normally used to express the hue of "White" and/or "Black" with a numerical value. The value is expressed in degrees "K" (Kelvin).

The screen becomes reddish at low color temperatures and bluish at high color temperatures, similar to the temperatures of a flame. A gain preset value is set for each color temperature setting value.

Note

The value shown in "K" is available only as a reference.
"Gain" allows you to perform more advanced adjustment.
If set to "Off", the image is displayed in the preset color of the LCD panel (Gain: 100 for each RGB channel).
When the gain is changed, the color temperature setting changes to "Off".

Gamma

Settings: "1.8" / "2.0" / "2.2" / "2.4"

Adjusts the gamma.

While the brightness of the monitor varies depending on the video level of the input signal, the variation rate is not directly proportional to the input signal. Maintaining the balance between the input signal and brightness of the monitor is referred to as "Gamma correction".

Note

If "sRGB" is selected for the color mode, "sRGB" is displayed for the gamma value.
If "Paper" is selected for the color mode, "Paper" is displayed for the gamma value.
If "Movie" is selected for the color mode, "Movie" is displayed for the gamma value.
If "DICOM" is selected for the color mode, "DICOM" is displayed for the gamma value.

Advanced Settings - Overdrive

Settings: "Enhanced" / "Standard" / "Off"

This function allows you to set the overdrive intensity based on the use of the monitor.

Advanced Settings - Hue

Settings: "-50" – "50"

Adjusts the hue.

Note

Using this function may prevent some color gradations from being able to be displayed.

Advanced Settings - Saturation

Settings: "-50" – "50"

Adjusts the color saturation.

Note

Using this function may prevent some color gradations from being able to be displayed.
The minimum value (-50) changes the screen to monochrome.

Advanced Settings - Gain

Settings: "0" – "100"

The brightness of each red, green, and blue color component is referred to as "Gain". The hue of "white" can be changed by adjusting the gain.

Note

Using this function may prevent some color gradations from being able to be displayed.
The gain value changes according to the color temperature.
When the gain is changed, the color temperature setting changes to "Off".

Reset

Resets any color adjustments for the currently selected color mode back to the default settings.

Signal

Set the details regarding input signal, such as the screen size and color format.

Picture Expansion

Settings: "Full Screen" / "Aspect Ratio"

The screen size of the monitor display can be changed.

"Full Screen"
Displays images in full screen. Since aspect ratios are not maintained, images may be distorted in some cases.
"Aspect Ratio"
Displays images in full screen. Since aspect ratios are maintained, blank horizontal or vertical borders may appear.

Note

Setting example

Sharpness

Settings: "0" – "2"

When a low-resolution image is displayed using picture expansion mode ("Full Screen" or "Aspect Ratio"), the text and lines of the image may appear blurry. This blurriness can be reduced by configuring the settings for sharpness.

Input Color Format

Settings: "Auto" / "YUV" / "RGB"

The color format of the input signal can be specified.

Try changing this setting if colors are not displayed correctly.

Input Range

Settings: "Auto" / "Full" / "Limited"

Depending on the video reproduction device, there may be a restriction on black and white video signal levels output to the monitor. This kind of signal is called "Limited range". On the other hand, unlimited signals are called "Full range".

"Auto"
Input signal brightness range is automatically judged and is displayed appropriately (recommended setting). Depending on the video reproduction device, Limited range and Full range may not be able to be judged by the monitor. In such a case, selecting "Full" or "Limited" will allow it to be displayed appropriately.
"Full"
To be selected in case of Full range signals. Appropriate display can be obtained when this is selected, in case both blacks and whites are corrupted.
"Limited"
To be selected in case of Limited range signals. In case this is selected, the output signal range is expanded from 0 to 255 to obtain an appropriate display when black is pale and white is dull.

Note

When "Input Color Format" is selected in "YUV", the setting is automatically set to "Limited". Additionally, when "Auto" is selected and the monitor determines the input color format to be YUV, the setting is automatically set to "Limited".

Preferences

The monitor settings can be configured to suit your usage environment or preferences.

Menu Rotation

Settings: "0°" / "90°" / "270°"

If you purchased the free mount specification model and the monitor is used in a portrait position, the direction of the Setting menu can also be changed.

Note

If you purchased the free mount specification model, you will need to adjust the PC settings to display the monitor in portrait mode. For details, refer to our web site.
How to check: Go to www.eizoglobal.com and type "vertical rotation" in the search box on the web site.
The menu cannot be rotated 180°. When rotating a monitor 180°, perform the adjustments/settings for the monitor before rotating it.
