6-2. Imaging problems
Problem
Possible cause and remedy
1. The screen is too bright or too dark.
•
Use “Brightness” in the Adjustment menu to adjust it. (The
LCD monitor backlight has a limited life span.) When the
screen becomes dark or begins to flicker, contact your
local EIZO representative.)
2. Characters are blurred.
•
Check whether the PC is configured to meet the resolution
and vertical scan frequency requirements of the monitor
(see
“2-1. Setting Resolution” (page 13)
3. Afterimages appear.
•
Afterimages are particular to LCD monitors. Avoid
displaying the same image for a long time.
•
Use the screen saver or power saving function to avoid
displaying the same image for extended periods of time.
4. Green/red/blue/white dots or defective
dots remain on the screen.
•
This is due to LCD panel characteristics and is not a
failure.
5. Interference patterns or pressure marks
remain on the screen.
•
Leave the monitor with a white or black screen. The
symptom may disappear.
6. Noise appears on the screen.
•
When entering the signals of HDCP, the normal images
may not be displayed immediately.
7. (DisplayPort input)
Display position of the windows changes.
•
When the signal is switched, the position of the window
may be changed. In the Adjustment menu, set “DP Power
Save” to “Off” (see
“5-4. Setting DisplayPort Power Save”
8. (DisplayPort or HDMI input) The color
shown on the display is not correct.
•
Use “Screen” - "Color Space" under the Adjustment menu
to adjust it.
•
For HDMI signal input, change the “Signal Format” setting
(see
“To switch signal formats” (page 14)
).
9. An image does not display on the entire
screen.
•
Change the “Screen Size” setting (see
).
