NEC LCD2180WGLEDBKSV - MultiSync - 21.3" LCD... User manual

SpectraViewTM LCD Series
Color calibration solution for 19" and 21" high-performance NEC LCDs
PROFESSIONAL

Unparalleled display performance for your
COLOR-CRITICAL
applications.
Designed for professionals with color critical
applications, the SpectraViewII Color Calibration
Solution combines award-winning NEC Display
Solutions LCD monitor technology with a color
measurement sensor and sophisticated software.
The result is a highly accurate, reliable, repeat-
able and feature-rich display calibration and
profiling solution.
Quick and easy measurements. The SpectraViewII
system uses the iOne Display 2, a custom, co-
branded colorimeter from GretagMacbeth, to take
color measurements of the display screen during
calibration. The software analyzes these measure-
ments and sends color adjustment commands
directly to the display monitor. This means that
color adjustments are made in the monitor rather
than in the video graphics adapter, resulting in
full use of the number of colors available on the
graphics adapter and a much brighter image with
the maximum possible color gamut. With Spectra-
ViewII, the video graphics adapter is not used at all
to make any gamma or tone response curve cor-
rections to the display, so the full color resolution
and fidelity of the system is maintained.
10-bit internal look-up tables (LUTs) - Each LCD monitor supported
by SpectraViewII features three internal 10-bit LUTs. These tables
allow very precise adjustments to be made to the display’s tone
response curve without reducing the number of displayable colors.
Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) - SpectraViewII
communicates with the monitors using DDC/CI, which is a two-way
communications link between the video graphics adapter and
display monitor using the normal video signal cable. No extra cables
are necessary. All adjustments to the monitor settings are done
automatically using this communications link.
Multiple calibration sets - Different monitor calibrations can
be instantly loaded, allowing quick and easy switching between
different calibration settings without the need to re-calibrate the
display. Each time a calibration set is loaded, the necessary monitor
settings and ICC/ColorSync profiles are automatically updated.
Calibrated display information - At the end of each monitor cali-
bration, an information window is displayed, which shows the results
of the calibration and includes a wealth of information about the
display such as the measured color gamut, grayscale color tracking,
Delta-E and luminance values. Additional information about the dis-
play monitor such as the model name, serial number and the total
number of hours that it has been in use are also displayed.
Calibration status validation - SpectraViewII will query each cali-
brated monitor to see if any controls have changed since the last
calibration. If anything has changed, the previous calibrated state
can be restored automatically.
Application flexibility - SpectraViewII provides many features and
options that make it flexible enough to be used in a large variety of
applications, including full DICOM support for medical imaging. The
display luminance can be adjusted to either a specific value or to
the maximum possible that the display can achieve.
Network support (Windows only) - SpectraViewII integrates with
the NEC NaViSetTM Administrator network software(available sepa-
rately from your NEC representative) to provide remote network
access and monitoring of display monitors. NaViSet Administrator
is able to read, display and log the current calibration settings
and status of displays on an existing network(LAN). This feature is
particularly useful for large installations where central monitoring
and asset management is needed.
Monitor locking - Once calibrated, the On Screen Manager(OSM)
controls for the display monitors can be locked to prevent acciden-
tal or unauthorized adjustment, which may invalidate the calibrated
state of the monitor.
Monitor profiling - After calibration, the display is automatically
profiled and highly accurate ICC/ColorSync color profiles are gener-
ated and automatically registered with the color management
system. These profiles use the Bradford Chromaticity Adaptation
matrix.
Colorimeter function - The software features a colorimeter func-
tion, which allows direct measurements to be taken by the color
sensor and the results displayed in a variety of different formats.
SpectraViewII Color Calibration Solution Features and Benefits

The 21" NEC MultiSync LCD2180UXWG LED, the
world’s first LED-backlit LCD desktop display,
delivers new levels of image detail and color
scale to professional-level users in the areas of
computer graphics, digital animation, medical
imaging, pre-press production and film, video and
photo editing. Chosen from only the top 5% of
the manufacturer’s production, the LEDs used
for this display meet stringent purity and light
output vs. power requirements.
Using LEDs as the backlight source in lieu of
normal fluorescent tubes, the LCD2180WG LED
reveals an amazingly broad color gamut without
loss of luminance. This state-of-the-art technol-
ogy is able to produce more detail and greater
nuances on digital images than any other LCD or
CRT on the market today.
MultiSync LCD2180WG LED features include:
Wide color gamut achieves more than 100% of NTSC
and Adobe RGB
Variable whitepoint system backlight results in a
broader range between color steps with no loss of
luminance when the whitepoint is adjusted(no loss of
luminance between 5000-9300K)
Built-in color feedback system stabilizes target color
in one minute after power is turned on vs. 30 minutes
in standard desktop LCDs. The system also maintains
the stability of color over time
ColorComp compensates for the differences with the
screen’s white uniformity and improves the color and
luminance uniformity of the display
10-bit internal look-up tables (LUTs) allow the monitor
to display from a color palette of more than 1 billion
colors as well as precise adjustments to be made to
the display’s tone response curve without reducing the
number of displayable colors
Built-in feedback maintains color stability and better
color tracking compared to CCFL
