Unparalleled display
performance for color-criti-
cal applications. Designed
for professionals with color
critical applications, the
SpectraViewII Color Cali-
bration 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, repeatable and fea-
ture-rich display calibration
and profiling solution.
Quick and easy measure-
ments. The SpectraViewII
system, available for Mac
OS and Windows, uses a custom-calibrated, co-branded
colorimeter based on the iOne Display 2 from GretagMac-
beth, to take color measurements of the display screen during
calibration. The software analyzes these measurements 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 graph-
ics adapter and a much brighter image with the maximum
possible color gamut. With SpectraViewII, the video graph-
ics adapter is not used at all to make any gamma or tone
response curve corrections to the display, so the full color
resolution and fidelity of the system is maintained.
SpectraViewII
TM LCD Series
Color calibration solution for 19" - 26" professional LCDs ideal for color-critical applications
Professional Desktop

10-/12-bit Internal Look Up Tables (LUTs) - Each LCD monitor
supported by SpectraViewII features three internal 12-bit LUTs
(10 bits on LCD2180WGLED model). These tables allow precise
adjustments to be made to the display’s tone response curve with
minimal reduction to the number of displayable colors. Since the
tone response curve correction is stored within the display and
not on the host system’s video graphics card LUT, the display can
be calibrated on one machine and then used on another and still
maintain calibration as long as a digital video signal is used.
Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) - Spectra-
ViewII communicates with the monitor using DDC/CI, which is a
two-way communications link between the video graphics adapter
and display monitor using the standard video signal cable. No ex-
tra 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 moni-
tor settings and ICC/ColorSync profiles are automatically updated.
Calibrated display information - At the end of each monitor
calibration, 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 informa-
tion about the display 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 imag-
ing. The display luminance can be adjusted to either a specific
user-defined value or set to the maximum the display can achieve.
In addition, custom target response curves can be created in addi-
tion to presets such as L* and SMPTE.
Network support (Windows only) - SpectraViewII integrates with
the NEC NaViSet™ Administrator network software (available sep-
arately from your NEC representative) to provide remote network
access and monitoring of display monitors. NaViSet Administra-
tor 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 monitor-
ing and asset management is needed.
Monitor locking - Once calibrated, the On Screen Display (OSD®)
controls for the display monitors can be locked to prevent ac-
cidental 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
generated and automatically registered with the color manage-
ment 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 21.3" NEC MultiSync®LCD2180WG 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 anima-
tion, 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 technology 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 107% size/100% coverage of Adobe RGB
Variable whitepoint system backlight is achieved by varying the relative in-
tensity of the red, green and blue LEDs and results in no loss of luminance or
available LUT levels when the whitepoint is adjusted between 5000-9300K)
Built-in color feedback system stabilizes target color in one minute after
power is turned on vs. up to 30 minutes for standard desktop LCDs. The
system also maintains the stability of color over time
ColorComp™compensates for the differences with the screen’s white uni-
formity 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 com-
pared to CCFL
True 10-bit digital video input designed for compatibility with future 10-bit
video cards and operating systems
XtraView+™technology allows for 176° viewing angle from all directions

When combined with the SpectraViewII Color Calibration Solu-
tion, select 19" - 26" NEC LCDs deliver the utmost in desktop
color performance. The 19" NEC MultiSync LCD1990SXi, 20"
LCD2090UXi and 21" LCD2190UXi, along with the widescreen
24" LCD2490WUXi and 26" (25.5" VIS) LCD2690WUXi , have
not only revolutionized the way flat-panel monitors are engineered
and designed, but how they can be used. With their multitude
of leading-edge capabilities, combined with groundbreaking
minimalist design, these monitors could easily be considered the
most intelligent visual display solutions to date. Not only are
these monitors smart investments for you and your company, their
advanced functionality and productivity-enhancing technologies
illustrate their unique brilliance.
Features and benefits of these displays include:
X-Light Pro™ technology maintains a consistent light output for
the useful life of the display as well as correcting for short-term
fluctuations. By using an internal luminance and color sensor
that constantly monitors and corrects the light output of the
LCD backlight, the display can be used for color-critical ap-
plications within minutes of powering on (LCD2490WUXi and
LCD2690WUXi)
ColorComp reduces uniformity imperfections by compensating for
differences in color and luminance across the screen area. Each
display is individually characterized during production by measur-
ing hundreds of points across the screen at different gray levels
in order to build an internal three-dimensional correction matrix.
This is then used to compensate for the screen uniformity, not
only as a function of position on the display screen, but also as a
function of gray level.
Internal 12-bit Look Up Tables (LUTs) allows the display of 16.7
million colors out of a palette of 69 billion, thus providing for
more points of shading between white and black and virtual elimi-
nation of color banding and posterization effects
In-plane switching (IPS) type LCD module boasts the best possible
color and grayscale accuracy and minimal gamma (brightness
tone) shift at off angles, making these LCDs more suitable for
demanding, color-critical applications
Ambix3™ technology provides the widest range of computer video
compatibility between analog and digital systems, and enables
you to switch between three inputs
