Thanks for the clarification Edmund. Now I recall your earlier posting.
Sorry for asking what you already answered.
My initial experience with the CG210 has, sadly, been pretty awful.
I unpacked and set it up per the instructions in the setup guide as monitor
2 on my Windows XP machine. (I still have my trusty Sony CRT as my main
monitor).
The monitor is not being recognized by ColorNavigator as an adjustable
monitor. I get an error message when ColorNavigator starts up saying there
is no adjustable monitor present.
After spending many hours with Eizo tech support (who don't seem
particularly adept at methodical problem diagnosis) and installing and
uninstalling ColorNavigator (v3 and v4), Gretag, Monaco, etc.... no joy. I
even tried ColorEyes. It doesn't recognize the monitor as being DDC capable
either. It's pretty clear that Windows XP device manager sees the proper
entries. There's no conflict with Gretag or Monaco (because I removed them)
and yet ColorNavigator just won't talk to the monitor. They're sending
another monitor.
Not a good experience so far for a monitor that is almost $3K

In what way ? CG210 monitor calibrated with ColorNavigator was not
accurate w.respect to Macbeth chart colors. Same monitor calibrated
with BasicColor 3.1 showed excellent subjective accuracy on those
colors. Why ? I dunno - maybe ColorNavigator doesnt like my eyeonepro
spectro ? I am confident about the strongly perceptible discrepancy
because I had the color checked by a second pair of female eyes. I
also checked the ambient light temperature while doing the evaluation.
As this device is specifically marketed as a color management monitor,
and was displaying less accurate colors than a much cheaper device
when calibrated with the bundled software, I judge the ColorNavigator
software version I evaluated to be dysfunctional. Maybe the new
version is adequate. In any case The hardware is very good.
as for L*, I think it will help for banding, it is the newest trendy
thing and journalists like me like to write about new and trendy stuff
