User manual EIZO COLOREDGE CG18

[. . . ] When all devices share a common color space, colors match at every stage of production; knowing that color is being accurately displayed naturally improves efficiency. A wide-gamut ColorEdge monitor at the center of a system using Adobe RGB as the common color space is the ideal way to ensure accurate color reproduction across all digital platforms. Such a color management environment fully supports soft proofing at every step of production, from initial photography to final printing.

This is accomplished by measuring the R, G, and B gamma values from 0 ­ 255, then using the monitor's 12-bit or 10bit look-up table (LUT) Each monitor adjusted individually at the to select the 256 most factory.

Actual adjustment is performed in a darkroom. ) appropriate tones to achieve the desired value. Gamma Correction This is important because accurate, nonfluctuating gamma values are necessary for the proper display of color. If colors are not based on specific values and cannot be adjusted, images will be displayed differently by different monitors. ColorEdge monitors provide both precision and consistency, so graphics professionals can be sure that the final product will look exactly the way they want it to. In fact, each monitor comes with an adjustment certificate that certifies the measurement results of the gamma value. Color Seepage Tonality Breakup ON-SCREEN IMAGE Smooth Grayscale Display Brightness and Color Uniformity with DUE CG301W · CG243W · CG241W · CG222W · CG221 · CG211 Fluctuations in brightness and chroma on different parts of the screen are a common trait of LCD monitors. To counteract this, EIZO incorporates a Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE). DUE utilizes the monitor's 12-bit look-up table (LUT) with an extensive palette of 4, 081 grayscale tones for each R, G, and B, and internal calculation accuracy of 16 bits to ensure a Delta-E difference of 3 or less across the screen when the monitor leaves the factory. * With Digital Uniformity Compensation Without Digital Uniformity Compensation GAMMA CURVE Color-separated image with Delta-E*ab distribution across the screen of the ColorEdge CG221 (gray level 128 measured) *Delta-E difference for the CG301W is 5 or less along the screen perimeter. Brightness Brightness Ideal Gamma Curve Uncorrected Gamma Curve Ideal Gamma Curve Short- and Long-Term Brightness Stabilization Stable brightness is a key factor in achieving accurate color. However, fluctuations in backlight brightness normally occur from startup and can last for up to two hours. Furthermore, changes in ambient temperature can cause brightness levels to fluctuate, as can the inevitable deterioration of the backlight's fluorescent lamp over Brightness (cd/m 2 ) ColorEdge 256 Tones 256 Tones Preset Value Without Brightness Drift Correction Minutes Backside of Panel Main Board Hole for Light Transmission 16-Bit Internal Processing CG301W · CG243W · CG241W · CG222W · CG221 · CG211 In any color-critical work, the monitor's ability to produce black is a great differentiator. 4, 000 K ­ 10, 000 K in 100 K increments x Value, y Value 1. 0 ­ 2. 6 in 0. 1 increments and L* Post-Calibration Color Adjustment Sometimes due to variations in output from different printers or the special requirements of a project, it is necessary to fi ne-tune an otherwise perfectly calibrated monitor to match target colors. ColorNavigator lets you easily adjust hue and saturation for all six primary and secondary colors (RGB and CMY), as well as white balance, brightness, black level and gamma, to achieve the closest possible visual match. For confi rmation of calibration results or to achieve more accurate manual adjustments, a test pattern screen with a grayscale ramp, low tones, high tones and gamma values can be displayed. Brightness White Point Gamma With the CG222W and CG221, it may not be possible to set the brightness to the maximum value (200 cd/m2) depending on LCD panel performance. With the CG19, choosing 6-Color Adjustment after calibrating will disable the black level adjustment function, and gamma will only be adjustable from 1. 8 to 2. 6 in increments of 0. 2.

For details please visit www. eizo. com) Paper White Measurement ColorNavigator offers a paper white measurement function for color matching between the image on your monitor and the image on your printouts. For other monitors, the warranty period of the backlight is warranted only if they are used within the recommended brightness of up to and including 80 cd/m 2 for the CG222W; 100 cd/m 2 for the CG221 and CG211; 120 cd/m 2 for the CG301W, CG243W, and CG241W with the color temperature for the aforementioned models between 5, 000 K ­ 6, 500 K and limited to three years from the date of purchase subject to the usage time being less than or equal to 10, 000 hours. With current LCD technology, a panel may contain a limited number of missing or flickering pixels. Accessories Monitor Hoods EIZO's monitor hoods reduce screen glare and include a sliding top cover so they can remain in place when the monitor is calibrated. 6 Panel Protectors CG243W · CG241W · CG211 · CG19 These protection sheets are easy to place over the screen surface, allow a minimum of 87% light transmission, and prevent dust and scratches.
