Hardware support for portrait mode without the need for specialty software. Ideal for long text documents, web pages, etc., ActiveRotation quickly converts analog and digital signals to portrait mode. It accomplishes this with no reduction in drawing speed or system stability, and eliminates problems of compatibility with other application software. ActiveRotation is powered by an EIZO ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) developed in-house. Active Rotation II is similar and offers the same function and purpose, however it features a gravity sensor allowing the image shown on screen to automatically change between portrait and landscape formats when the monitor is being rotated.

The introduction of light against a surface otherwise devoid of light (i.e. black). to form colors. On an LCD monitor, the color illuminated on the screen is an example of additive color mixture.

An RGB color space that was introduced in 1998 by Adobe Systems Inc. Adobe RGB color space is an improvement on the gamut of the sRGB color space, primarily within cyan and green tones. Increasingly, scanners and digital cameras for consumer use are compatible with the Adobe RGB color space. When Adobe RGB is used for the image data, the monitors used to display these images also need to support the wide color reproduction area of Adobe RGB. Select models of EIZO's ColorEdge and FlexScan series reproduce most of the Adobe RGB color space.

A touch screen technology used with select EIZO LCD monitors. Voltage is uniformly applied from the four corners of the panel sensor across all areas of the screen. When a finger or pen touches the surface, a change in the electric current proportional to the distance from the four corners occurs. The controller measures the change and calculates the coordintates to locate the touch.

An ergonomic stand developed by EIZO. The ArcSwing stand includes tilt, height adjustment, and forward/backward motion for an arc-shaped range of movement. This flexibility allows for quickly and easily adjusting the height, angle, and distance to accommodate the user's posture and viewing position.

A function that automatically adjusts the clock, phase, and screen position of a FlexScan LCD monitor to their ideal levels. Auto Adjustment is activated by pressing a button on the monitor's front panel.

An EIZO patented technology, Auto Brightness Stabilization is a drift correction circuit that stabilizes the screen brightness level within minutes after startup or coming out of power saving mode. Without this technology, brightness takes up to two hours to stabilize.

A sensor on the front of select EIZO monitors that measures ambient light and optimizes the screen's brightness to levels akin to viewing a sheet of paper under typical office lighting conditions. Since the screen is never too bright, eye strain is reduced while power consumption is cut compared to operating the monitor with Auto EcoView turned off and set to the default factory brightness of 100%. Whereas most brightness sensors use just one reference point to determine the ideal screen brightness, Auto EcoView uses two — one for light and one for dark ambient environments. This allows a monitor with Auto EcoView turned on to more accurately achieve the ideal brightness in both brightly and dimly lit rooms.

A function that allows the user to assign any Fine Contrast mode to an application. When that application is activated, the screen will automatically change to the assigned mode. Auto Fine Contrast is a part of EIZO's ScreenManager Pro for LCD software (compliant with Windows Vista/XP/2000 only).
