Hi All,
Within the debate on the merits etc of the NEC and Sprectraview were
some comments and questions regarding the Samsung XL range.
Before answering any questions, we must declare a direct interest.
Targetcolour has been commissioned by Samsung to become manufacturers
representative for the XL and colour critical display ranges. We
shall act as independent colour advisors, providing testing and
support resources to Samsung in order to better serve the graphics
industry. Suffice to say Samsung are now monitoring this forum and take
your comments very seriously.
For the record we have evaluated both the XL 20 and XL 24 monitors and
>have found, through extensive tests, both ³Best Practice² methods of
calibration and avenues that must be further explored in order to
improve overall product performance. The bottom line is that this is
a very good monitor; capable of rivalling any other system we have
seen claiming wide gamut colour, at half the price. Testing data and
initial results to follow.
The criteria for the evaluation of this product shall focus on its
abilities for soft proofing for the graphics industry. Softproofing
to known print standards to aid the Advertising, Publishing and print
marketplace, where we feel the greatest need exists. Open to other opinions
of course.
The first thing we would like to do is to include everyone¹s
suggestions in our testing methods. This is your opportunity as a
collective group to shape how we test and what criteria is important
in evaluating any monitor without fear of a contaminated result or opinion.

the industry. The results shall be published and access shown on this
forum as soon as the data has been prepared.
