8. GLOSSARY
Color Temperature
Color temperature is a method to measure the white color tone, generally indicated in
degrees Kelvin. At high temperatures the white tone appears somewhat blue, while at
lower temperatures it appears somewhat red. Computer monitors generally give best
performance at high temperature settings.
5,000K: Often used in printing industry.
6,500K: Good for video-image display.
9,300K: Default setting for your EIZO monitor.
Cutoff and Gain
All colors displayed on the screen are produced by the combination of the light's three
primary colors, red, green, and blue. For example, white will be displayed when the
amount of luminescence of red, green and blue is at the almost same rate.
Theoretically, black will be displayed when red, green and blue don't emit light at all.
However, actually, on the screen the amount of luminescence of each color is not zero
and each color emits light slightly. The luminosity of each color at this time is called
cutoff (Black level), and the luminosity of each color on the basis of the cutoff is
called gain.
Convergence
Convergence is the monitor's ability to precisely illuminate specific phosphors and
line them up properly in order to produce pure color.
Degaussing
“Degaussing” refers to the process of removing magnetic-field effects from the
monitor. Operation of the monitor within a magnetic field may adversely effect color
purity. Degaussing can be used to correct the problem.
Moiré Reduction
Moiré refers to an interference pattern of dark wavy lines on the screen. It is not a
defect, but rather an interference phenomenon caused by the relationship between the
phosphor layout and the imaging signal. Moiré is often an indication of a good focus
level. Moiré is particularly noticeable when using a light-gray or every-other-dot
pattern background. Although moiré cannot be eliminated, it can be reduced with the
moiré reduction feature.
8. GLOSSARY 33
English
Resolution
Resolution is expressed as the number of dots (pixels) displayed on the screen.
A larger number of dots produces a more sharply defined (a higher-resolution) image.
Note that for a given screen size the dot size decreases as the number of dots
increases: a 640 x 480 (dot x line) resolution uses larger pixels than a 1024 x 768
resolution. The display size of a given font therefore varies according to the
resolution. Higher resolutions allow you to display more information on the screen.
sRGB (Standard RGB)
“International Standard for Red, Green, and Blue color space” A color space was
defined with the aim of the color matching between applications and hardware
devices, such as monitors, scanners, printers and digital cameras. As a standard
default space, sRGB allows Internet users to closely match colors.
Uniformity
The uniformity is the purity of the color when a white screen is displayed on screen.
Some monitors have blue or pink tinted areas that exhibit poor white uniformity.
Some monitors have some brighter and darker areas, then this is an indication of
bright uniformity error.
VESA DPMS
The acronym VESA stands for “Video Electronics Standards Association,” and DPMS
stands for “Display Power Management Signaling.” DPMS is a communication
standard that PCs and graphics boards use to implement power savings on the
monitor side.

[Applicable to gray (standard color version only).]
Congratulations!
You have just purchased a TCO’99 approved and labelled product!
Your choice has provided you with a product developed for
professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing
the burden on the environment and also to the further development
of environmentally adapted electronics products.
Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?
In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging
the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers
and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are
used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to
satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging
substances sooner or later enter nature.
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are
important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments.
Since all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic
and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics
equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.
What does labelling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for international
and environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a
joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska
Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens
Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).
Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission
of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.
The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals,
brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among
other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have
an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company
implements its operational policy.
The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain
period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages.
The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.
Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the
reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.
You will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product on the
right. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

Environmental Requirements
Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings.
Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in
a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain
bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of
environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the
PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in
fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have
been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may
occur.
The relevant TCO’99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams
must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame
retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.
Cadmium**
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain
computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.
The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display
screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.
Mercury**
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system
and is toxic in high doses.
The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also
demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components
associated with the labelled unit.
CFCs (freons)
The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during
the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing
printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the
stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks
of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.
Lead**
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the
nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning.
The relevant TCO’99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet
been developed.
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
