What is brightness stabilization for?
Balanced brightness is crucial for brilliant color reproduction. Traditional LCD monitors need one to two hours to even out their brightness. However, even then, they are still sensitive to temperature deviations. Patented electronics regulate the backlight, depending on the model. They ensure constant brightness, regardless of the operating times and temperature.
What does "10 bit color rendering" mean?
In connection with a frame rate control (FRC) of the LCD modules, CG monitors allow for 10 bit color resolution, depending on the module. Screens can therefore display even the finest tone value gradations using a billion colors. This requires corresponding 10 bit support by the application software and graphics card.
Which conditions must be met to run 4K resolutions at 60 Hz?
A graphics card with display port signal version 1.2 is required to run 4K resolutions as 60 Hz.
What is behind the 4K transmission methods SST (Single-Stream Transport) and MST (Multi-Stream Transport)?
MST transmits two halves of an image (right and left), each 2x2K at 30 or 60 Hz. This operating system looks at the halves of the image like separate screens as long as they are not connected to a screen by a driver or accessory software. This method is obsolete in modern 4K monitors because it can process the 4K image in full via display port 1.2. This method of transmission is called SST. In this case, the full image, i.e. the full 4K resolution, is transmitted to the monitor and displayed at 60 Hz.
My graphics card only supports G-Sync – to what extent can I use the FORIS FS2735?
When selecting the different anti-tearing processes, we chose the less hardware-dependent AMD FreeSync. G-Sync would have been available anyway without the EIZO microprocessor. That in-turn would have meant the loss of key image improvements and jeopardized image quality. Therefore, we do not support G-sync.
If you have a high-performance graphics card without FreeSync, you can still use the higher refresh rates of 120 Hz or 144 Hz. The higher refresh rates alone reduce movement artifacts considerably. Upon request, you can still activate the motion blur reduction of the monitor. It does not need special sync technology and pushes switching time below 1 millisecond.

What is the ambient light sensor/EcoView sensor for?
It measures the ambient light and automatically adjusts the brightness of the monitor to ensure that the contrast is as stable as possible. The image brightness is increased in a bright environment and it is reduced in the dark. It is also possible to control the brightness manually.

How can I see the image in portrait format when I rotate the monitor?
The screen is rotated 90° in portrait and pivot/portrait modes. This can be very helpful for image editing or text applications. You need to have a graphics board that supports 90° image rotation to be able to use this function. This is because the image does not automatically rotate along with the screen. The graphics board drivers of renowned graphics boards already include this function, which means that no additional software from EIZO or other third-party providers is required.
What factors must be considered when using ColorNavigator V.6.x?
ColorNavigator V.6.x (CN6) does not uninstall previous versions of ColorNavigator, but instead installs independently of them. As the co-existence of CN6 with previous versions may lead to problems, however, we recommend removing the previous versions. Beforehand, previously used calibrations can be saved and transferred to CN6.
Please note that for technical reasons, the use of CN6 is not possible with some older versions (CG18, CG19, CG21, CE210W, CE240W).
(1) Start ColorNavigator (previous version) and export the "adjustment targets".
(2) Uninstall ColorNavigator (predvious version).
(3) Install ColorNavigator V.6.x
(4) Import the previously exported "adjustment targets" and use them to calibrate the monitor.
Information on older EIZO models is available on the EIZO Global website.
