Hi all,
and excuse me for little delay with reply (LaCie 321 Gamut thread) and
thanks
for input.
I make few screen shots with relation to some threads here, and few
profiles for download:

To Roger:
No, Eizo is delivering CG220 with standard device GM Display 2 to me
(CG21 has been delivered with CX1, which i suppose is standard Gretag
too, but not sure).
Because i have CG220 in test for some days, and i have both devices, i
take measurement with Eye-One Display 2 and with Eye-One Pro.
You can
see - there are remarkable differences between gamuts - must say, that
i do not anticipate this. Both gamuts are smaller than AdobeRGB,
although both are very close to AdobeRGB a significantly greater than
others LCD (in this case LaCie) - but note, that
this is testing device with "unclear" history and state, rotating
through editors and customers.
To Marco:
I take screen shots with LaCie and Apple Cinema 20 gamuts - in this
case
LaCie is winner, even in blue and red areas. If you want, profiles are
for
download.
Your question about MonacoXR was answered by another user.
To Thomas and about CG220 "full gamut"
Problem with "full throttle" you mentioned is that profile generated
with ColorNavigator is not catch this extra settings.
ColorNavigator workflow is:
1 - hardware calibration of CG220 internal circuits to achieve
predefined values (gamma, luminance etc.)
2 - measuring of particular monitor colors and creating profile with
deviations included
After profile creation, you have two choices:
- fine tuning of color temperature, gamma etc, (Eizo sometimes calling
this step as craftsman settings)
after this step ColorNavigator is performing step 2, and measure actual
colors - means, these settings (changes) ARE reflected if profile
(which can be simply verified in ColorSync utility e.g.)
- change hue and saturation of six primary colors in extremely huge
limits
after this step ColorNavigator is NOT performing color measure, and
this change is NOT reflected in profile; in fact, both profiles (with
or without saturation change) are same. This is why you must create
profile in third party application and why you get "irrational green
values". But if you do this, you are somewhat missing main advantages
of Eizo hardware calibration.
Must say, that i am not sure if this feature is useful, and for who is
useful. Yes, you can get more saturated colors on the screen, but you
don't have "feedback" in monitor profile. When you need use profile for
back transformation (e.g. screen shots), you get wrong results. And
what worse - you will see saturated colors even in images with
"normal" colors, means you can not use that monitor for common editing.
You can make these settings e.g. for movie watching, or so, but for
real work with images i think this is useless.
Maybe i am missed some important .. i know that between users of this
lists if few peoples from Eizo, so maybe you can more clarify purpose
of this setting (hue and saturation of six primary colors).
Best regards to list
