Setting Menu Functions

Signal

The signal settings are used to configure advanced settings for input signals, such as the color format and input range.

Signal Information

You can check the information for the input signal.

Input Color Format

Settings: "Auto" / "YUV 4:2:2*1" / "YUV 4:4:4*1" / "YUV*2" / "RGB"

  1. Only enabled during HDMI input
  2. Only valid for DisplayPort or USB-C input

The color space of the input signal can be specified.

Try changing this setting if colors are not displayed correctly. Normally, select "Auto".

YUV Color Matrix

Settings: "Auto" / "BT.601" / "BT.709" / "BT.2020"

Select the YUV format of the input signal. Use this setting for gradation collapse or other occurrences where the screen is displayed incorrectly because of a problem with the input signal.

Input Range

Settings: "Auto" / "Full" / "Limited (109% White)" / "Limited"

Depending on the external device, the black and white levels in the video signal output to the monitor may be restricted. If the signal is displayed on the monitor in its restricted form, the blacks will be faint, the whites dull, and contrast will be reduced. The video range displayed on the monitor can be switched to make these signals the actual contrast ratio of the monitor.

Color

The setting details differ depending on the color mode selected.

When Color Mode is Standard Mode (User / sRGB)

Each color mode setting can be adjusted according to personal preference.

Attention
  • The same image may be seen in different colors on multiple monitors due to differences between individual monitors. Make fine color adjustment visually when matching colors on multiple monitors.
Note
  • Use the values in "Brightness" and "Temperature" as a guide.
Color Mode

Settings: "User" / "sRGB" / "CAL1" / "CAL2" /"CAL3" / "CAL4" / "CAL5" / "CAL6" / "CAL7" / "CAL8"

Switch to the desired mode according to the monitor application.

Note
Brightness

Settings: "40 ³¦»å/㎡" – "330 ³¦»å/㎡"

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

Note
  • If a value that cannot be set is selected, the value will appear in magenta. In such a case, change the value.
Temperature

Settings: "Native" / "4000 K" - "10000 K" / "D50" / "D65" / "User"

Adjusts the color temperature.

The color temperature is used to express the chromaticity of "White". The value is expressed in degrees "K" (Kelvin).

The screen becomes reddish at a low color temperature, and bluish at a high color temperature, like the temperature of a flame.

Specify a color temperature in units of 100 K, or select a standard name.

Note
  • Select "Native" to display the original colors of the LCD panel.
  • "Gain" allows you to perform more advanced adjustment. When gain is changed, the color temperature is changed to "User".
  • The gain preset values are set for each color temperature setting value.
Gamma (EOTF)

Settings: "1.6" - "2.7" / "sRGB"

Adjusts the gamma.

The brightness of the monitor varies depending on the input signal, however, the variation rate is not simply proportional to the input signal. The control performed to keep the balance between the input signal and the brightness of the monitor is called Gamma correction.

Set the gamma, or select a standard name.

Color Gamut

Settings: "Native" / "sRGB"

Set the color reproduction area (color gamut) of the monitor.

"Color Gamut" is the range of colors that can be represented. Multiple standards are defined.

Note
  • Select "Native" to display the original color gamut of the LCD panel.
  • The method of displaying colors outside the monitor's displayable range within the defined color gamut can be set. For more information, see Advanced Settings - Gamut Clipping.
Advanced Settings - Hue

Settings: "-100" – "100"

The hue can be adjusted.

Note
  • Using this function may make some color gradations unavailable for display.
Advanced Settings - Saturation

Settings: "-100" – "100"

The saturation can be adjusted.

Note
  • Using this function may make some color gradations unavailable for display.
  • The minimum value (-100) changes the screen to monochrome.
Advanced Settings - Gamut Clipping

Settings: "On" / "Off"

The method of displaying colors outside the monitor's displayable range within the color gamut specified in accordance with Color Gamut can be set.

Note
  • The diagrams shown above are conceptual diagrams, and they do not display the actual color gamut of the monitor.
  • This setting will be disabled if "Native" is selected at Color Gamut.
Advanced Settings - Gain

Settings: "0" – "2000"

The brightness of each color component red, green, and blue is called Gain. The chromaticity of "white" can be changed by adjusting the gain.

Note
  • Using this function may make some color gradations unavailable for display.
  • The gain value changes according to the color temperature.
  • When gain is changed, the color temperature is changed to "User".
Advanced Settings - 6 Colors

Settings: "-100" – "100"

The hue, saturation and lightness (brightness) can each be adjusted for the colors Magenta, Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, and Blue.

Reset

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

When Color Mode is Advanced Mode (CAL1 / CAL2 / CAL3 / CAL4 / CAL5 / CAL6 / CAL7 / CAL8)

Displays the color adjustment status using the color management software "ColorNavigator 7".

Color Mode

Settings: "User" / "sRGB" / "CAL1" / "CAL2" /"CAL3" / "CAL4" / "CAL5" / "CAL6" / "CAL7" / "CAL8"

Switch to the desired mode according to the monitor application.

Note
Reset

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

Screen

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

Picture Expansion

Settings: "Auto*1" / "Full Screen" / "Aspect Ratio" / "Dot by Dot"

  1. Only enabled during HDMI input

The screen size of the monitor display can be changed.

Note
  • Setting example

Preferences

The monitor’s settings can be configured to suit the usage environment or personal preference.

Menu Rotation

Settings: "0°" / "90°"

When the monitor is used in a portrait position, the direction of the Setting menu can also be changed.

Note
  • Check whether the cables are connected properly.
  • It is necessary to configure the settings of the external device to use the monitor in a portrait position. For details, refer to our web site (www.eizoglobal.com ).

Power Save

Settings: "On" / "Off"

This function allows you to set the monitor to the power saving mode, depending on the state of the external device connected to it.

The monitor changes to power saving mode about 15 seconds after signal input ceases to be detected. When the monitor has shifted to power saving mode, images are not displayed on the screen.

Note
  • At the time of shifting to power saving mode, a message that indicates the transition is displayed five seconds in advance.
  • When not using the monitor, you can turn off the main power supply or disconnect the power plug so that the power is cut completely.
  • Even if the monitor shifts to power saving mode, devices connected to the USB downstream port will still work. In addition, power is supplied to devices connected to the USB-C connector. Therefore, power consumption of the monitor varies depending on the connected devices, even in power saving mode.

Indicator

Settings: "Off" / "1" – "7"

The brightness of the power button and the control buttons when the screen is displayed can be set. (Default setting: 4)

Beep

Settings: "On" / "Off"

Input Skip

Settings: "Skip" / "-"

This function allows skipping of input signals that will not be used when the input signals are switched.

Note
  • Not all input signals can be set to "Skip".

Mode Skip

Settings: "Skip" / "-"

This function allows skipping of modes that will not be used when selecting modes. Please use this function if display modes are limited, or if you want to prevent randomly changing the display status.

Note
  • Not all modes can be set to "Skip".

  • Regarding the custom keys, see Custom Key Settings.

USB Selection – HDMI / DisplayPort / USB-C

Settings: "USB-1 (USB-C)" / "USB–2"

If two external devices are connected to a single monitor, then the input signals and USB upstream ports can be linked. This means that the USB port will automatically switch when the input signal is switched. There is no need to re-connect the USB cable even when calibrating a single monitor using two external devices. In addition, USB devices such as a mouse or keyboard can be connected to the monitor and used with two external devices.

Default settings differ depending on the input signal.
