This new criterion will help professional creatives in discerning which monitors meet an established set of requirements for image display.
The main requirements of TÜV Rheinland’s Color Accuracy are the following.
- Accurate color display including verification of the sRGB and Adobe RGB preset modes
- Color stability when the monitor is in use
- Brightness and color uniformity
- Minimal color shift when the screen is viewed from an angle
In addition, if a monitor meets the requirements for stable color shortly after being powered on then it is also designated with the grade “Quick Stability.”
The four EIZO monitors that received TÜV Rheinland’s Color Accuracy certification are the ColorEdge CG318-4K, CG248-4K, CG277, and CG247. All four models carry the Quick Stability grade.
“TÜV Rheinland’s Color Accuracy represents a significant leap forward by establishing a clear criterion for color accuracy across the graphics market when evaluating a monitor, said Kazuhide Shimura, managing officer and general manager of product & business development at EIZO. “As the first company to obtain certification, we are pleased to offer graphics professionals a choice of monitors they can rely on for their color-critical work.”
