NEC Multisync LCD2180wg 21 in. LCD Display

Overview

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, repeatable and feature-rich display calibration and profiling solution.

Quick and easy measurements. The SpectraViewII system uses the Eye-One Display 2, a colorimeter manufactured by GretagMacbeth, 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 graphics adapter and a much brighter image with the maximum possible color gamut. With SpectraView II, the video graphics 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.

Features

• Wide color gamut achieves all of SMPTE-C and more than 100% of NTSC and Adobe RGB

• Variable whitepoint system backlight

• Built-in color feedback system

• ColorComp

• 10-bit internal look-up tables (LUTs)

• Built-in feedback

• XtraView+TM technology

• Environmentally friendly and RoHS compliant

• Passive cooling system

• Dual DVI connectivity

• 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 ton 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 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 information 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.
• 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 separately 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 accidental 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 management system. These profiles use the Bradford Chromaticity Adaptation matrix.
• Colorimeter function - The software features a colorimeter function, which allows direct measurements to be taken by the color sensor and the results displayed in a variety of different formats.
