The "Standard" mode allows the adjustment of the color spectrum. The "Custom" mode allows extensive controls over the colors of the displayed image on the screen. All adjustments for either mode can be made quickly and easily through the ScreenManager 'Color' Menu - offering a tool to create customized color environment. Please find the details of the color mode adjustment capabilities below: Contents Application For routine work and Standard mode printing. (Additionally, industry standard of 9300K is set as default. ) Custom mode Sets color temperature. when there is a need to obtain identical colors on multiple monitors* or match the display color with printout color**. ) * The color adjustment spectrum may vary between monitors. ** A color calibrator can be used for even higher-precision color adjustment. · Each monitor is slightly different, if two monitors are set to the same color temperature value (i. e. 6500K), they may not necessarily look the same. 10 3 COLOR ADJUSTMENT Adjusting the Standard mode Color Temprature E · Users should allow at least 30 minutes for the monitor to stabilize before setting the color adjustments or color matching. Procedure 1) Go to the 'Color' menu. 2) Select the "Standard mode" setting from the 'Color mode' menu. 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. This is the default setting for your EIZO monitor. 3 COLOR ADJUSTMENT 11 Adjusting the Custom mode Cutoff and Gain adjustments Monitors use red, green and blue (R, G, and B) to convey color information. They use an additive method to combine different amounts of the primary colors to produce a desired color. In other words, monitors start with no light (black) and add percentages of red, green and blue to make colors. White is usually produced by adding the same amount of all three colors, where black is usually produced by adding no color. However, colors are not only determined by the balance but also the intensities of R, G, and B (how bright they are) which we call Gain, and the saturation of R, G and B (how vivid or dull they are) which we call Cutoff. · Users should allow at least 30 minutes for the monitor to stabilize before setting the color adjustments or color matching. · Before you attempt to change the colors, always start with the color settings set to the "default settings" by using the 'Reset' function in the ScreenManager 'Others' menu. · If only a quick setting is required, that is close to the desired color, but not exact, skip making any changes to the Cutoff adjustment (step 4). If a precise match is desired, adjustment of the Cutoff levels must be made. We recommend that for exact matching, use a color calibrator. Procedure 1) For optimum results, before beginning the custom color adjustment, go to the 'Screen' menu and set the display to maximum brightness and contrast. [. . . ] The colour-generating layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium. Mercury** Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics components concerned with the display unit. [. . . ]
