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 (vari-
ous 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.
Color Management Begins with
the Monitor
The monitor is the core of any professional color man-
agement 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 mul-
tiple proofs just to correct for color discrepancies. You
can proof with confidence right from the start, while
lowering costs, increasing efficiency 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 fac-
tory-adjusted gamma, extensive hardware calibration
capabilities and an exceptionally wide color gamut.
Their outstanding performance and reliability make
them ideal for a wide range of professional environments where
color reproduction is critical, including photography, graphics,
printing and publishing.

Soft Proofing with Adobe RGB
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
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.
Wide Color Gamut Monitors
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.

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 16-bit look-up
table (LUT) to select the
256 most appropriate
tones to achieve the
desired value.
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 provide both
precision and con-
sistency, 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 mea-
surement results of the
gamma value.
Brightness and Color Uniformity with DUE
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) in all Col-
orEdge monitors. DUE utilizes the monitor’s 16-bit look-up table
(LUT) with an extensive palette of 65,281 grayscale tones for each
R, G, and B to ensure a Delta-E difference of 3 or less across the
screen when the monitor leaves the factory.*
*Delta-E difference for the CG303W is 5 or less along the screen perimeter.

16-Bit LUT, 10-Bit Simultaneous Display
Most ColorEdge 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 as many colors as
you get with 8-bit display which results in even smoother color gra-
dations 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.
3D LUT for Better Additive Color Mixture
All ColorEdge models
incorporate a look-up table
(LUT) for accurate color
and grayscale rendering, but
the ColorEdge CG275W,
CG245W, CG243W, and
CG223W utilize an EIZO-
developed 3D LUT. Whereas
a typical 1D LUT adjusts
color on separate tables for
each red, green, and blue, a
3D LUT accomplishes this on a single, mixed-color cubic table. A
3D LUT improves the monitor's additive color mixture (combina-
tion of RGB), a key factor in its ability to display neutral gray tones.
Short- and Long-Term Brightness Stabilization
All models come with a brightness drift correction circuit that
stabilizes the monitor's brightness level right after starting up
as well as a backlight brightness sensor that detects and coun-
teracts brightness changes in the florescent backlight that occur
over time. Furthermore, the CG275W, CG245W, CG243W, and
CG223W incorporate a temperature sensor that prevents changes
in color temperature which can be caused by fluctuations in the
ambient temperature.
Each monitor adjusted individually at the
factory. (For illustrative purposes only. Actual
adjustment is performed in a darkroom.)

Simple and Precise Calibration
The EIZO-
developed
ColorNavigator
software makes
calibration both
simple and accurate.
Instead of having
to judge colors and
do time-consuming
inputting, or hav-
ing 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 16-bit LUT of Col-
orEdge monitors for accurate and reliable calibration in minutes.
The latest version of ColorNavigator is always available as a free
download at www.eizo.com.
Industry’s First Self-Calibrating Monitors
The ColorEdge CG245W
and CG275W come with an
industry-first built-in calibration
sensor. The sensor is housed
within the monitor’s bezel and
swings out only when calibrat-
ing. This eliminates the need
for an external sensor, lets you
calibrate when your computer is off, and saves time by letting you
schedule the monitor to self-calibrate while you are not working.
To ensure predictable and accurate calibration across the screen,
EIZO calibrates the center of the screen at its factory and correlates
the built-in sensor to these results. Furthermore, if you are working
with other ColorEdge monitors and need to standardize calibration,
you can use the bundled ColorNavigator software to correlate the
calibration results of the built-in sensor to the results obtained from
an external calibration device.
Paper White Measurement
ColorNavigator offers a
paper white measurement
function for color match-
ing between the image
on your monitor and the
image on your printouts. By
measuring the white of the
paper to be used for print-
ing, ColorNavigator will
automatically set the target
values for brightness and
white point accordingly.
Light Box Brightness Adjustment
With ColorNavigator and a measurement device, you can set your
light box’s* brightness to the desired value. ColorNavigator can
then take the resulting brightness level and set it as the monitor’s
target calibration value to ensure uniform brightness between your
monitor and light box when color proofing.
*Currently supports JUST Color Communicator 1 and 2 only.
Profile Validation
This function mea-
sures the monitor’s
color patches to
determine the dif-
ference between the
Delta-E value of the
monitor’s profile and
the actual displayed
values of the moni-
tor. 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. ColorNavigator can also measure CMYK color patches
(GRACoL 2006 Coated #1 and FOGRA39) and output them as
Adobe Photoshop or Acrobat files.* The measurement results of
both the monitor and profile 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. ColorNavigator even
exports profile validation results as a PDF for easy distribution
among work sites, printers, or clients.
*Photoshop CS1 or later or Acrobat Professional 7 or later are required for
Macintosh, and Photoshop CS1 or later or Acrobat Professional 8 or later are
required for Windows.
Post-Calibration Color Adjustment
Sometimes due to variations in out-
put from different printers or the
special requirements of a project, it
is necessary to fine-tune an other-
wise perfectly calibrated monitor to
match target colors. ColorNaviga-
tor lets you easily adjust hue and saturation for all six primary and
secondary colors (RGB and CMY), as well as white balance, bright-
ness, black level and gamma, to achieve the closest possible visual
match. For confirmation 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.
