I’ve been trying to determine if the results I’m
getting on the CG220 are the norm, and after comparing results with a few other
CG220 users, it appears that we’re all getting the same results. I’m
seeing that when attempting to emulate AdobeRGB, the gamut volume is about
10-12% smaller and the color space appears skewed when viewed against AdobeRGB
in Monaco GamutWorks. Of course, comparing Adobe RGB to the sample CG220 ICC
profile downloaded from Eizo shows a slightly larger gamut volume and an
identical gamut shape to aRGB.
Eizo’s explanation thus far has been that the calibrator
used (i1pro, i1 display and DTP94 on my part) cannot measure the chromaticities
as preceisly and that the variation is acceptable. They note that the Minolta
CS-1000A spectroradiometer yields measured chromaticities closest to real aRGB.
This may be true I suppose, but who uses a CS-1000A for monitor calibration?
The ColorNavigator software apparently doesn’t even support this device.
So, I’ll pose the question again…is anyone out
there able to emulate aRGB on a CG220, yielding a non-skewed gamut area and
volume that comes closer than 10% of aRGB? Am I expecting too much?
