Choosing the right monitors for a color management system
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

Wide Color Gamut Monitors
CG301W · CG241W · CG222W · CG221
With a wide color gamut that reproduces nearly 100% of the Adobe RGB color space,
these models not only cover the sRGB color space supported by many computer monitors, operating systems and digital cameras, but practically the entire ISO-coated and US web-coated CMYK color spaces used in printing as well.

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

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.)

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 available with default values. Just select either one and Color­Navigator will begin calibrating. Ideal for users with limited color management 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.)
