1000:1 Contrast Ratio
This outstanding contrast performance makes images on dark
backgrounds appear more vivid, brings out the subtle differences in
similar shades of color, and ensures that colors retain their richness
even in brightly lit rooms.

With high brightness of 450 cd/m

, the same as high quality LCD
TVs, these monitors present a clear view even in bright environments.
This performance is made possible by a direct backlighting system,
which also provides higher power efficiency and better uniformity.
14-Bit Processing for Accurate Color Reproduction
These widescreen monitors incorporate a powerful new EIZO-
developed ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) with 14-bit
color processing capability (16 times more accurate than 10-bit). This
allows a larger number of grayscale increments, for smooth grayscale
rendering. The result is a much greater degree of color detail, espe-
cially in dark areas and shadows.

With 10-bit processing, the error rate is high in low tonal areas during calcula-
tion. With 14-bit processing, accuracy is significantly improved resulting in
fewer conversion errors.
Fine Contrast Mode Selection
For optimum viewing of all types of content, the Fine Contrast
function allows the selection of five imaging modes: Text, Picture,
Movie, Custom, and sRGB. Each mode has its own settings for im-
age parameters such as color temperature, gamma and brightness.
You can navigate between the modes simply by pressing a button on
the front panel. For further convenience, a Fine Contrast mode can
be assigned to any application with the bundled ScreenManager
®
Pro
for LCD utility software. When the application is opened, the screen
automatically changes to its assigned mode.
Detailed Color Control
Gamma, saturation, hue, gain, and color temper-
ature from 4,000 K to 10,000 K can all be adjusted
in the OSD menu for accurate, natural display of
color. For fine-tuning of even a single color, the hue
and saturation settings for red, green, blue, cyan,
magenta, and yellow can be adjusted independently.
ArcSwing 2 Stand
The ArcSwing 2 stand is a significant
improvement over conventional monitor
stands, adjusting through a large arc-
shaped range of movement. You can
position it at eye level or at a low
angle akin to reading a book, for
best viewing no matter how and
where you are using the monitor. In
addition, this stand features a sturdy
base and a compartment for cable management.
Touch Sensitive Switches
You have quick ac-
cess to a variety of
functions via highly
sensitive electrostatic
“touch” switches on the front panel.
Presenting a sophisticated appearance, they are also easier to engage
than the small buttons of most LCD monitors.
