Hello,
I made some testing with the CG220 yesterday.
The AdobeRGB is nearly possible, there is a preset to set the Monitor to it.
I tried something completly different...
I turned all throttles to the end and got an ECI-RGB:

For that, I calibrated the Display with the Eizo ColorNavigator. After that I used the Color Correction functionality to raise all Colors to the top.
Doing that I made my first Profile invalid, since it doesn't represent the seen colors anymore. So I went to Profilemaker and made a second profile without calibrating, just measuring the existing values.
The result is the above linked fullgamut profile.
But it's somehow impossible to work with this profile (maybe because of irational green values) but the Colors are absolutely amazing ;-)
In german there is an idiom:
Crying colors are out, roaring colors are in.
With an moderate profile (105 cd/m2, 5600K G=1.8) you can get the following values for an FOGRA mediawedge, simulating ISOcoated in Photoshop with absolut colorimetric RI and paper simulation switched on.
The Value for the paper isn't measureable, since every measuring of a target, which is lighter than the calibration white, sets this measuring to Lab 100/0/0
The measuring is a littlebit tricky, since there is no tool to valuate a displays to CMYK targets.
But that's what I want to know, when I'm asking myself if a display is able to be a softproof.
