Color as it’s meant to be
Adobe RGB color space reproduction —
connecting the photographer, designer,
and printer
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.
Soft Proofing with Adobe RGB
Wide Color Gamut Monitors
The benefits of color management quickly become apparent
once a system is put into place. 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

The Hardware: Consummate Performance and Functionality
Factory Adjustment Of Gamma
Brightness and Color Uniformity with DUE
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
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.*

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,

Sensor
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.)
Color Vision Deficiency Simulation
CG301W·CG241W·CG222W
To accommodate the more than 200 million people worldwide
with a color vision deficiency, care must be taken when choosing
color schemes, otherwise important details may not be discernible.
These models instantly simulate how still and moving images ap-
pear to people with red-green color vision deficiency (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.)

With 10-bit processing, the error rate is high in low tonal areas during calcula-

fewer conversion errors.

The Software: Extensive Calibration Capabilities
Simple and Precise Calibration
Profile Validation
The EIZO-developed ColorNavigator software makes calibra-
tion 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 moni-
tors for accurate and reliable calibration in minutes.
This function
measures the moni-
tor’s color patches to
determine the dif-
ference between the
Delta-E value of the
monitor’s profile and
the actual displayed
Preset or User-Assigned Values
values of the moni-
tor. This allows for

of calibration or checking to see how much the monitor’s colors have
varied since it was last calibrated. The measurement results of both

CIELAB or XYZ values, and the difference between them expressed
in Delta-E. The Delta-E variation can be shown in a graph and com-
pared with previous results

Recalibration Reminder
Calibration Parameters
30 cd/m2– 200 cd/m2† in 5 cd/m2 increments.
Setting to the monitor’s minimum and maximum
values is also possible.
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 first 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.)
