Automate your calibration with the sensor that is housed within
the monitor's front bezel and swings up onto the screen only
when calibrating. This sensor eliminates the need for a third-
party calibration device and even operates in portrait mode.
Available with the CG series only.
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 16-bit
look-up table (LUT) to select the 256 most appropriate tones to
achieve the desired value.
Using the DisplayPort input, the monitors offer 10-bit
simultaneous color display* from a 16-bit look-up table which
means they can show more than one billion colors simultaneously.
This is 64 times more colors than you get with 8-bit display which
results in even smoother color gradations and reduced Delta-E
between two adjacent colors.
*A graphics board and software which support 10-bit output are also
necessary for 10-bit display. 10-bit display is only available through the
DisplayPort input.
Using either the OSD menu or the bundled ColorNavigator
software, you can schedule the monitor to self-calibrate at
specific times. Even if the monitor is switched off or not
connected to a computer, it will stick to its preset schedule and
self-calibrate.
A wide color gamut reproduces almost the entire Adobe RGB
color space* so images shot in RAW can be converted to Adobe
RGB or images shot in Adobe RGB will be displayed correctly.
The colors seen in photos of vibrant blue skies and lush green
forests will be reproduced faithfully in a way that cannot be
on monitors with an sRGB color space. The wide color gamut
also ensures that the monitors reproduce almost the entire ISO-
coated and US web-coated CMYK color spaces used in printing.
*Not applicable to the CS230.
CG series monitors can be correlated to the measurement
results of an external calibration sensor. After correlating, the
built-in sensor will automatically recalibrate to the settings.
This is convenient if the monitor is used in a work environment
with other monitors and one measurement device must be used
as a standard for all calibration.
With the CX and CS series, a third-party sensor is required for
calibrating the monitor, but the monitor’s built-in correction
sensor maintains the calibration settings. The correction sensor
is housed within the monitor's upper bezel and appears only
after a specific amount of time determined by the user has
elapsed. Even if the monitor is switched off or not connected to
a computer, it will stick to its preset schedule and self correct.
The 178° viewing angles afforded by the IPS panel technology
allows two or more people to view the screen at once with little
change in color or contrast.
