I am certain that this one of the best monitors on the market, I've
just hit a usability issue.
I think I calibrated everything to 5000K.
I also measured the ambient light at 5000K, give or take so little
that it doesn't really matter. Room lit by soft daylight.
I had one monitor left, one monitor right, real physical colorchecker
in my hands.
I had a second pair of eyes, wearing a skirt, looking over my
shoulder. I've learnt to trust female eyes when it comes to colour.
I was disturbed enough so I checked my own colorchecker against the
synthetic chart by measuring the red square, the diiference was
negligible.
The thing is, the cheap-and-cheerful Samsung, according to female eyes
MADE THE GRADE !!!. I prefer the neutrals on the Eizo by far, and
think the blues were perceptibly bettter, she still says the Samsung
is better for colour. We both agree there is an issue on the red
patch, on the Eizo. The hue seems very slightly wrong.
I suspect an incompatibility of my i1 Pro spectro with the CG210.
Life would be easier if Eizo bundled a spectro and software that works
for any screen, that is respected and updated by a third party, eg
Optix or ColorEyes. Add your own favorite, if you really insist. As
they don't bundle, you use whatever you have. Using two different
pieces of software on two monitors attached to the same card is
already asling for trouble IMHO.
Please remember that this is "fast work", not careful testing. It's
just a quick glance at a product. What Joe User would do. It's all my
-and her- opinion. But we do agree, don't we, that color is subjective
?
Let me repeat again: I am certain that this one of the best monitors
on the market, I've just hit a usability issue.
