Correct again.

I have to disagree here, Chris. CN does NOT gray balance the Eizo in any
way, shape or form. It merely sets the gamma of each channel but does NOT
gray balance them, as basICcolor Display v3+ does. Which is why, in my view,
CN software has limited valued.

Right. The Eizo CG21 is in a class of its own.

It's noticeable here too.

Correct.

Makes sense.
