Expanded Color Space Meets Professional Needs
 Graphics
professionals are well aware that a totally digital
workflow and the ability to do soft proofing results
in higher efficiency and lower costs. Many also want
to switch to space-saving LCD monitors, but are
hesitant to do so because of concerns regarding the
color accuracy required for professional color work.
EIZO's solution is the ColorEdge CG220: an LCD
monitor that covers the Adobe RGB color space. It
thus encompasses not only the sRGB color space,
widely supported by many computer monitors,
operating systems and digital cameras, but also the
ISO-coated and US web-coated CMYK color spaces used
in printing. This ultra-high-performance monitor
finally provides all the color reproduction
capabilities graphics professionals have been
seeking, in the compact LCD format.
Advantages of Adobe RGB
In order to realize the advantages of
soft proofing, a color management system for sharing
accurate colors among photographers, graphic artists
and printers is a necessity. The most efficient way
to achieve this is for all parties to use a
standardized color space with a wide range of
colors. The ColorEdge CG220 now makes it possible to
adopt the Adobe RGB extended color space, which has
become the de facto standard for professional color
processing. It ensures guaranteed color reproduction
across all digital platforms, providing a color
management environment that fully supports soft
proofing, from the photography stage to final CMYK
printing.
(A) Adobe RGB (white wire frame)
encompasses the ISO coated color space (multicolor
solid). (B) sRGB (white wire frame) does not cover
many of the green, cyan, and yellow areas of the ISO
coated color space (multicolor solid).
Color Management
A common color space throughout
the workflow lets you switch from hardcopy proofing
to soft proofing.
By covering the Adobe RGB
color space, the ColorEdge CG220 is not subject to
influence from the OS color engine or software, and
allows final color checks in Adobe RGB. This offers
a great advantage over sRGB monitors, whose smaller
palette is not capable of accurately reproducing
colors in certain areas of the spectrum, notably
emerald greens and cyans. Retouching images with
these monitors requires numerous printouts to
achieve accurate color matching. By enabling
onscreen retouching and color confirmation, the
ColorEdge CG220 makes your work faster, easier and
more accurate.

14-Bit Processing |
| |
The ColorEdge CG220 incorporates a powerful new EIZO-developed
ASIC (Application 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.
14-bit v. 10-bit Processing
With 10-bit processing, the error rate
is high in low tonal areas during calculation. With
14-bit processing, accuracy is significantly
improved resulting in fewer conversion errors.
Emulation Function
To take full advantage of the 14-bit internal
processing capabilities, EIZO has equipped the
ColorEdge CG220 with an emulation 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.

Factory Adjustment of Gamma |
| |
Each ColorEdge CG220 monitor is adjusted at the
factory to a gamma level of 2.2. This is
accomplished by measuring the R, G and B gamma
values from 0 to 255, then using the monitor’s
Look-Up Table (LUT) with its 1,021-tone palette to
select the 256 most appropriate tones to achieve the
2.2 value. The benefit of factory adjustment is that
precise, non-fluctuating gamma values are necessary
for the accurate display of colors. If colors are
not based on specific values and cannot be adjusted,
images will be displayed differently by different
monitors. The ColorEdge CG220 provides both
precision and consistency, so you can be sure that
the final product will look exactly the way you want
it to.

22.2-Inch
Screen Supports 1920 × 1200 Resolution |
| |
The extra-wide 22.2-inch screen supports 1920 × 1200
resolution (16:10 aspect ratio), meaning that it can
display a two-page A4 spread with no clipped edges.
In an application such as Adobe® InDesign®,
the tool palettes can be displayed at the same time
without overlapping.

Conventional monitor: working space and
tool palettes overlap. |
ColorEdge CG220: full working space and tool
palettes are displayed simultaneously with
no overlap. |

High Brightness with
No Loss of Detail |
| |
With conventional LCD monitors, when the brightness
is raised, small details in the image are lost, but
the ColorEdge CG220 gives you the best of both
worlds – high brightness and sharp detail. This
remains true even when viewing from off-center,
thanks to the LCD panel's 170° viewing angle and
minimal color shift.

Auto Brightness
Control |
| |
This EIZO-patented circuit stabilizes brightness
soon after startup or coming out of power save mode.
Additionally, this circuit eliminates brightness
fluctuation by detecting changes in the surrounding
backlight temperatures and automatically adjusting
the divergence to the brightness default setting or
user-defined level. |
