Eizo FlexScan L34 - Manual (Page 2)

Digital FlexScan
Auto Adjustment and the EIZO ScreenManager TM
To simplify any screen adjustment, EIZO has
incorporated an Auto Adjustment function
similar to the one found in our CRT monitor
range. The D
3 ASIC takes a sampling of the
computer's timing and calculates the best
screen position. If further adjustments are
desired, the EIZO ScreenManager can be
used to refine the image.
* EIZO has also included a software adjustment program on a
floppy disk for fast, convenient setup.
Standard PC Compatible Interface
The L23 and L34 support a wide range of
standard analog RGB input signals. These
are calculated by the microprocessor and
D
3 ASIC and are digitally processed to create
the perfect image. The L23 and L34 require
no special graphics boards or dedicated
controllers to drive them and they can be
connected with ease in the same manner as a
standard CRT monitor.
Multiple Input Signals Supported
The EIZO D
3 ASIC automatically adjusts
and amplifies the input signal to the best level
in order to optimize the screen performance
for various kinds of input signals from a
resolution of 640
✕ 480 to 1024 ✕ 768.
Dual Inputs and Input Priority Switch
As with most EIZO FlexScan CRT monitors,
the L23 and L34 are equipped with dual
input connectors and an input priority
function. This means that two computers
can be simultaneously connected to the L23
or L34 and priority can be given to either
computer. Switching between the two
computers can be done conveniently using a
button on the front panel. Each input can
support Plug & Play(VESA DDC 1/2B )
independently.
Space-Saving Cable Design
One of the benefits that LCDs offer is their
compact, space-saving design. The L23 and
L34 occupy only about 40% of the depths of
CRTs with the equivalent screen size.
This is most noticeable in
their unobtrusive cable
hook-up design, making
them ideal for an office
environment where space
is at a premium.
Energy Saving
Newly developed LCD power circuits lower
the power consumption of the L23 and L34
to a mere 30 Watts when in regular use.
With the built-in PowerManager
TM function,
power consumption drops to less than 5
Watts when the displays are turned on but
not in use. The lower heat emissions lessen
the need for office air conditioning and
contribute to a reduction in electricity
consumption.
Compliance With Global Ergonomic Standards
To add to the superior quality and safety of
the L23 and L34, we have complied with the
following international certifications:
V TU
..
V Rheinland/Ergonomie for the control
of radiation (MPR II ), and
V ISO 9241-3 and -8 for character definition
and color uniformity.
V TCO 95 for the control of electromagnetic
waves, energy reduction, electrical safety in
the work environment, and recyclability.
V CE mark to effect electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) in the crowded office
environment.
Safety-Lock Device
The L34 comes equipped with a safety-lock
device for security.
Digital Image Control
New Brightness Control
EIZO's customized brightness control uses a
microprocessor and an inverter to control the
oscillation of the CCFL (Cold Cathode
Fluorescent Light ) backlight. This system
makes it possible for a high brightness level of
200 cd/m
2 to remain stable with a wide (20 -
100%) adjustment range.
Auto Brightness Control System
To eliminate any brightness fluctuation, the
EIZO Auto Brightness Control System
directly monitors changes in the surrounding
and backlight temperatures and
automatically adjusts the divergence to the
brightness default setting or the user defined
level.
Variable Border Intensity
For maximum viewing comfort, EIZO has
incorporated a function that allows the user
to change the border intensity level in 64
graduations. So, when using the L23 or L34
in display modes smaller than the panel's
capacity, such as 640
✕ 480 or 800 ✕ 600,
the user can reduce the contrast level between
the background and the cabinet.
Full Screen Mode
In any application which uses 640
✕ 480 or
8000 ✕ 600 display modes, the EIZO D 3
ASIC has a specific interpolation function
that allows for these modes to be displayed to
almost a full screen.
Advanced Ergonomic Design
Ergonomic issues have increasingly been
important factors in the design of EIZO
monitors, and the L23 and L34 incorporate
many collective advantage over traditional
monitors : a more compact and space-saving
design, lighter weight, lower power use, and
lower EMI (Electromagnetic Interference )
emissions. Additionally, our expertise in the
field of making a better working environment
has led us to incorporate further quality,
usability and safety features.
Image Quality
High contrast, distortion free images are
displayed on the anti-glare screens of the L23
and the L34, providing a superior image
quality and sharper definition of text for
improved viewing characteristics.
Wide Viewing Angle
The L23 and L34 utilize liquid crystal panels
which have 140
º horizontal, and110 º and
120 º vertical wide viewing angles
respectively, making the screens visible from a
variety of angles.
Wide Angle Adjustment
Both the L23 and L34 are ideal for an office
environment where space is limited. The tilt
and swivel stand can be rotated up and down
and to the left and right, allowing for a wide
sphere of adjustment possibilities and viewing
comfort.
D 3 (D-cubed) Technology
The EIZO original D 3 ASIC (Application
Specific Integrated Circuit) greatly
improves the control of the brightness level
and color reproduction for superior image
quality on the L23 and L34.
D 3 encompasses EIZO's advanced skill in
three key areas of digital display
technology: Digital Signal Processing,
Digital Image Control and Digital
FlexScan.
Since the early 1980's, we have been producing quality digital products and
incorporating digital technology into our superior, high quality CRT
monitors. As we enter a new interface era, EIZO is proud to introduce the
L23 and the L34 as our latest offerings in the flat panel market segment.
Both models incorporate our original D 3 technology which represents the
accumulation of EIZO's expertise in digital and analog display
technology, and provides the differentiation that will create a strong
impact in the display monitor industry.
Digital Signal Processing
Automatic Contrast Adjustment
When input signal levels of an LCD monitor
are too high or too low, it is difficult to
reproduce exact colors. EIZO has
incorporated an automatic contrast adjustment
function that amplifies the video input for
excellent color reproduction.
True Color Capability
The EIZO D
3 ASIC incorporates FRC (Frame
Rate Control ) circuitry which expands the
color capabilities beyond the panel's capacity
of 260,000 colors to 16 million colors.
