Color Calibration LCD Monitors
Color as it’s meant to be

Professional Color Quality with Precision Calibration
Professionals doing high quality digital imaging in fields such as graphic arts, photography and printing
require a monitor with superior color accuracy and color management capabilities. The EIZO ColorEdge
series offers three monitors that perform to the highest standards. With different sizes, resolutions and func-
tions to meet varied needs, they all provide total assurance of color accuracy because each unit is individually
calibrated at the factory. They also come supplied with EIZO’s proprietary ColorNavigator™ software, which
utilizes a 10-bit Look-Up Table for fast calibration of brightness, color temperature and gamma. As a result,
you enjoy the benefits of soft proofing and on-screen color checking for a more efficient workflow, as well as
the convenience of a slim-profile monitor.

Factory Adjustment Of Gamma
Each ColorEdge
monitor is adjusted at
the factory to a gamma
level of 2.2. This is ac-
complished by measuring
the R, G and B gamma
values from 0 – 255,
then using the monitor’s
10-bit Look-Up Table
(LUT) with its 1,021-tone
palette to select the 256
most appropriate tones to
achieve the 2.2 value. Us-
ers can also set their own
values from 1.0 to 2.6
with the ColorNavigator
software.
This is important
because accurate, non-
fluctuating gamma values
are necessary for the
proper display of color. If
colors are not based on
specific values and cannot
be adjusted, images will
be displayed differently
by different monitors.
ColorEdge monitors pro-
vide both precision and
consistency, so graphics
professionals can be sure
that the final product will
look exactly the way they
want it to. In fact, each
monitor comes with an
adjustment certificate that
certifies the measurement
results of the gamma value.
Accurate Color Temperature
Another important factor in achieving accurate, natural colors,
especially for midtones, is setting the proper color temperature for
white (white point). ColorEdge monitors are exceptionally versatile in
this regard, providing color temperature adjustment from 4,000 K to
10,000 K in 100 K increments with ColorNavigator software and se-
lect measuring devices. This wide range ensures that users can achieve
the optimum color temperature for any type of work, such as “paper
white” for DTP.
Brightness Stabilization
Constant, non-fluctuating brightness is necessary for the proper
display of color. An EIZO-patented drift correction function quickly
stabilizes the brightness level upon startup or wakeup. In addition, a
sensor measures the backlight brightness of the LCD and compensates
for any brightness fluctuations caused by the ambient temperature or
the passage of time.

Wide Color Space
The CG220 is capable of
displaying the Adobe RGB color
space, meaning it not only covers
the sRGB color space supported
by many computer monitors,
operating systems and digital
cameras, but the ISO-coated and
US web-coated CMYK color
spaces used in printing as well.
This makes it possible to achieve
a standard color space for all
work from photography to printing. The CG210 and CG19 cover a
color space approximately equal to sRGB, giving them color reproduc-
tion capabilities on par with high-end CRT monitors.
14-Bit Processing
The ColorEdge CG220 and CG210 incorporate
a powerful new EIZO-developed ASIC (applica-
tion specific integrated circuit) with 14-bit color
processing capability (16 times more accurate than
10-bit). This allows a larger number of grayscale
increments, for grayscale rendering that is on a par with high-end CRT
monitors. The result is a much greater degree of color detail, especially
in dark areas and shadows.
Portrait Mode Support for
Macintosh and Windows
The ColorEdge CG210 provides built-in support for portrait mode
with the EIZO’s exclusive ActiveRotation II technology. The monitor
includes a gravity sensor, so it “knows” when it is being rotated, and
changes between portrait and landscape modes accordingly. Because it
is hardware-based, ActiveRotation II does not absorb CPU power or
compromise graphics performance. It supports Macintosh OS 9/X and
Windows 2000/XP platforms.
Graphics board support for ActiveRotation II varies by manufacturer and model.
With some graphics boards, it may be necessary to change the resolution on the PC
side or restart the computer after rotating the screen. For details on graphics board
support, please see www.eizo.com/support/compatibility/
SWOP Certification
The ColorEdge CG220 and CG210 are part of the
SWOP-certified Remote Director – a monitor-based proof-
ing system from Integrated Color Solutions, Inc. SWOP
certification means graphics professionals can use this system in place
of hardcopy proofs and perform all color checks on-screen.
5-Year Warranty
EIZO and its authorized distributors offer a five-year
limited warranty for all ColorEdge monitors.

Simple And Precise Calibration
The EIZO-devel-
oped ColorNavigator
software makes cali-
bration 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
directly utilizes the 10-bit Look-Up Table and automatically calibrates
the monitor in less than 10 minutes. ColorEdge monitors support the
latest generation of this software, which gives you a number of other
useful functions, some of which are as follows.
Post-Calibration Color Ad-
justment
Sometimes due to variations in
output from different printers or the
special requirements of a project, it
is necessary to fine-tune an otherwise
perfectly calibrated monitor to match
target colors. ColorNavigator lets
you easily adjust hue and saturation
for all six colors (red, green, blue,
cyan, magenta and yellow), as well as
white balance, brightness, black level
and gamma, to achieve the closest
possible visual match.
Color Profile Generation
ColorNavigator can save up to 20 different calibration profiles.
Any of these can be used for setting the monitor or for generating a
ColorSync or ICM color profile for the computer’s operating system.
For example, if you use one monitor for both web design and printing,
you can save a different calibration profile for each task, then call up
each profile as you need it.
Convenient Calibration Profile Management
ColorNavigator
also makes it easy
to keep track of
calibration profiles.
When you want
to adjust a profile
in order to match
your monitor to
other equipment
such as printers or lightboxes, you can use the Duplicate function
to make a copy of it, then adjust the duplicate profile and give it a
new name. Naturally, you can make as many duplicates, and thus
adjusted profiles, as desired.
Recalibration Reminder
After initial calibration, a moni-
tor 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. If you prefer to calibrate according to
the amount of change that has occurred, you can measure the color
difference (Delta-E) between the original target points and the actual
current points at any time.
0.5 Delta-E Difference
The combination of the monitor’s 10-bit look-up table,
ColorNavigator software, and a calibration device (see page 12 for
details) produces extremely accurate colors with a very low Delta-E
difference of less than 0.5.
Emulation Function
To take full advantage of
the 14-bit internal process-
ing capabilities, EIZO has
equipped the ColorEdge
CG220 with an emula-
tion function. Simply by
obtaining the ICC profile of
another monitor and using
EIZO’s ColorNavigator software, the ColorEdge CG220 can emulate
its color characteristics. This is useful when another monitor is the
standard monitor in a workflow, when different models are used in a
multi-monitor setup, or for a remote proofing environment where the
client, designer and printer want to be sure that their various monitors
are displaying color the same way.
Calibration Parameters
