  Fine Contrast
 
This function that allows the user to set the appropriate screen parameters for almost any application or file type including text based documents, DVDs, and digital images. Fine Contrast offers five modes: Text, Picture, Movie, Custom, and sRGB. Each mode has default settings for such parameters as brightness, color temperature, and saturation, which can be further adjusted in the ScreenManager® OSD menu. Toggling between the different modes is done by pressing a button on the front panel.

Suggested Use
Text Word processing, spread sheets, e-mail
Picture Photographs, illustrations, and other still images
Movie DVDs and streaming video

sRGB Color matching, viewing web sites

 
  Furthermore, with the bundled EIZO original utility software "ScreenManager Pro for LCD1," any application can be assigned a Fine Contrast mode through the Auto Fine Contrast function. When that application is selected with the mouse or keyboard, the screen automatically changes to the assigned mode.

ScreenManager Pro for LCD also includes a unique WindowMovie mode. With this mode, video playback software can be displayed in a bright overlay window, and the brightness setting for the rest of the screen altered by the user2. This allows for watching video in a brightly lit window, while devoting the rest of the screen to another task such as writing e-mail. Auto Fine Contrast can also be used to assign WindowMovie mode to video playback software.

1Graphics board supporting gamma adjustment, DirectDraw, and DirectDraw Overlay are required for WindowMovie Mode.
   

 
  DesktopViewer/PRINT Image Matching
 
EIZO's new DesktopViewer provides a wide range of advanced imaging functions. DesktopViewer can display still images (jpeg, tiff, or bitmap) or animated images (AVI, MPEG, and other file types supported by Windows MediaPlayer 6.0), or any selected area of the screen in an overlay window up to the panel's maximum brightness.2
   

 
  DesktopViewer Features


An image can be dragged and dropped inside the DesktopViewer window and then be freely enlarged or reduced. A color editing function allows for altering brightness, contrast, chroma, hue and gamma values.

Uses the graphics card's video memory, capturing an image and changing its size is performed more quickly and smoothly than with conventional software.
For business presentations or showroom use, DesktopViewer includes a slideshow function that shows all images in a specified folder. The user can set both the window size and time each image is displayed.

 
DesktopViewer comes with 5 user selectable modes

P.I.M. For color matching with P.I.M. or EXIF 2.2-enabled digital cameras

 
  PRINT Image Matching II and Exif 2.2 Support
 
The FlexScan supports both Seiko Epson Corporation's P.I.M. II and JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association) and JCIA's (Japan Camera Industry Association) Exif 2.2 standards. These standards allow digital camera manufacturers to assign image specific parameters for printing such as gamma, color space matrix, contrast, chroma, and exposure mode to assure high quality digital prints that match the original shots as closely as possible. By utilizing the P.I.M. mode, color management between the FlexScan L768 and P.I.M. II and Exif 2.2-enabled digital cameras and printers is greatly simplified.
