Choosing the right monitors for a
color management system
The importance of color management
In today’s digital production environment, there
are many opportunities for discrepancies in color to
arise along the path from the computer to the printer.
This is because input devices (cameras, scanners, etc.),
display devices (monitors) and output devices (various
kinds of printers) may all be set to different color
spaces. Such discrepancies can be avoided by employing a color
management system that ensures every device in the production
chain is set to a common color space.
reliability make them ideal for a wide range of professional
environments where color reproduction is critical, including
photography, graphics, printing and publishing.
Color management begins with
the monitor
The monitor is the core of any professional color
management system. If color is displayed accurately on
the monitor, and color matching has been done with
the output device, then you no longer have to make
multiple proofs just to correct for color discrepancies.
You can proof with confi dence right from the start,
while lowering costs, increasing effi ciency and
improving quality control.
ColorEdge – the right monitors for
color management
Effective color management requires monitors
with accurate color reproduction and gradation
characteristics. With ColorEdge monitors you
get factory-adjusted gamma, extensive hardware
calibration capabilities and an exceptionally wide
color gamut. Their outstanding performance and

The Hardware: Consummate Performance and Functionality
Factory Adjustment Of Gamma
The gamma level for
each ColorEdge monitor
is adjusted at the factory.
This is accomplished by
measuring the R, G, and
B gamma values from
0 – 255, then using the
monitor’s 12-bit or 10-bit
look-up table (LUT) to
select the 256 most
appropriate tones to
achieve the desired value.
This is important
Each monitor adjusted individually at the
factory. (For illustrative purposes only. Actual
adjustment is performed in a darkroom.)

monitors. ColorEdge
monitors provide both
precision and consistency, so graphics
professionals can be sure
that the fi nal product
will look exactly the way
they want it to. In fact,
each monitor comes with
an adjustment certifi cate
that certifi es the measurement results of the
gamma value.
16-Bit Internal Process ing
CG301W · CG241W · CG222W · CG221 · CG211
In any color-critical work, the monitor’s ability to produce
black is a great differentiator. With most LCD monitors,
the darkest area of the screen — or black level — is usually
too bright. This leads to banding and washing out of dark grays and
dark colors. With 16-bit internal processing, these models not only
come very close to producing a true black, but the lowest grayscale
tones can be distinguished from one another for a greater level of
detail in dark areas. (CG210-N and CG19 have 14-bit and 10-bit
internal processing respectively.)
With 10-bit processing, the error rate is high in low tonal areas during calculation. With 16-bit processing, accuracy is signifi cantly improved resulting in
fewer conversion errors.

Brightness and Color Uniformity with DUE
CG301W · 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.*

*Delta-E dif ference for the CG301W is 5 or le ss along t he screen perime ter.
Short- and Long-Term Brightness Stabilization
Stable brightness is a key factor
in achieving accurate color. However,
fl uctuations 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 fl uctuate,
as can the inevitable deterioration of
the backlight’s fl uorescent lamp over

Color Vision Defi ciency Simulation
CG301W · CG241W · CG222W
To accommodate the more than 200 million people worldwide
with a color vision defi ciency, care must be taken when choosing
color schemes, otherwise important details may not be discernible.
These models instantly simulate how still and moving images appear to people with red-green color vision defi ciency (protanopia
and deuteranopia) through internal hardware conversion and EIZO
proprietary software. (Compatible with Windows Vista and XP, and
with Macintosh OS X 10.3.9 or later.)

The Software: Extensive Calibration Capabilities
Simple and Precise Calibration
The EI ZO-developed ColorNavigator software makes calibration both simple and accurate. Instead of having to judge colors and
do time-consuming inputting, or having a specialist do it for you, all
you need to do is input target values for brightness, white point and
gamma. ColorNavigator works with a wide range of measurement
devices to directly utilize the 12- or 10-bit LUT of ColorEdge monitors for accurate and reliable calibration in minutes.
Preset or User-Assigned Values
Preset Values
Printing and
Photography/Graphic
Design settings are

values. Just select
either one and ColorNavigator will begin

users with limited

knowledge, this takes
the guesswork out of
assigning values.
User-Assigned
Values
Experienced
users can assign the
desired values for
brightness, white
point, and gamma
and then calibrate.
Profi le Validation
This function
measures the monitor’s color patches to
determine the difference between the
Delta-E value of the
monitor’s profi le and
the actual displayed
values of the monitor. This allows for
verifying the results
of calibration or checking to see how much the monitor’s colors have
varied since it was last calibrated. The measurement results of both
the monitor and profi le for each color patch are indicated in either
CIELAB or XYZ values, and the difference between them expressed
in Delta-E. The Delta-E variation can be shown in a graph and compared with previous results
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.

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. By measuring the
white of the paper to be used
for printing, ColorNavigator
will automatically set the target
values for brightness and white
point accordingly.
Recalibration Reminder
After initial calibration, a monitor needs to be recalibrated at
regular intervals to maintain color accuracy. ColorNavigator includes
a recalibration reminder that will appear after a certain number of
user-determined hours. When the monitor is fi rst calibrated, the date
and time are saved. After the time you set has elapsed, an LED on the
front panel lights up, and a reminder message appears the next time
ColorNavigator starts up. (Not available with the CG19.)
