10-/12-bit Internal Look Up Tables (LUTs)
- Each LCD monitor
supported by SpectraView
II
features three internal 12-bit LUTs
(10 bits on LCD2180WGLED model). These tables allow precise
adjustments to be made to the display’s tone response curve with
minimal reduction to the number of displayable colors. Since the
tone response curve correction is stored within the display and
not on the host system’s video graphics card LUT, the display can
be calibrated on one machine and then used on another and still
maintain calibration as long as a digital video signal is used.
Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI)
- Spectra-
View
II
communicates with the monitor using DDC/CI, which is a
two-way communications link between the video graphics adapter
and display monitor using the standard video signal cable. No ex-
tra cables are necessary. All adjustments to the monitor settings
are done automatically using this communications link.
Multiple calibration sets
- Different monitor calibrations can
be instantly loaded, allowing quick and easy switching between
different calibration settings without the need to re-calibrate the
display. Each time a calibration set is loaded, the necessary moni-
tor settings and ICC/ColorSync profiles are automatically updated.
Calibrated display information
- At the end of each monitor
calibration, an information window is displayed, which shows the
results of the calibration and includes a wealth of information
about the display such as the measured color gamut, grayscale
color tracking, Delta-E and luminance values. Additional informa-
tion about the display monitor such as the model name, serial
number and the total number of hours that it has been in use are
also displayed.
Calibration status validation
- SpectraView
II
will query each cali-
brated monitor to see if any controls have changed since the last
calibration. If anything has changed, the previous calibrated state
can be restored automatically.
Application flexibility
- SpectraView
II
provides many features and
options that make it flexible enough to be used in a large variety
of applications, including full DICOM support for medical imag-
ing. The display luminance can be adjusted to either a specific
user-defined value or set to the maximum the display can achieve.
In addition, custom target response curves can be created in addi-
tion to presets such as L* and SMPTE.
Network support (Windows only)
- SpectraView
II
integrates with
the NEC NaViSet™ Administrator network software (available sep-
arately from your NEC representative) to provide remote network
access and monitoring of display monitors. NaViSet Administra-
tor is able to read, display and log the current calibration settings
and status of displays on an existing network (LAN). This feature
is particularly useful for large installations where central monitor-
ing and asset management is needed.
Monitor locking
- Once calibrated, the On Screen Display (OSD
®
)
controls for the display monitors can be locked to prevent ac-
cidental or unauthorized adjustment, which may invalidate the
calibrated state of the monitor.
Monitor profiling
- After calibration, the display is automatically
profiled and highly accurate ICC/ColorSync color profiles are
generated and automatically registered with the color manage-
ment system. These profiles use the Bradford Chromaticity
Adaptation matrix.
Colorimeter function
- The software features a colorimeter func-
tion, which allows direct measurements to be taken by the color
sensor and the results displayed in a variety of different formats.

Color Calibration Solution Features and Benefits
The
21.3" NEC MultiSync
®
LCD2180WG LED
, the world’s first LED-backlit
LCD desktop display, delivers new levels of image detail and color scale to
professional-level users in the areas of computer graphics, digital anima-
tion, medical imaging, pre-press production and film, video and photo
editing. Chosen from only the top 5% of the manufacturer’s production,
the LEDs used for this display meet stringent purity and light output vs.
power requirements.
Using LEDs as the backlight source in lieu of normal fluorescent tubes, the
LCD2180WG LED reveals an amazingly broad color gamut without loss of
luminance. This state-of-the-art technology is able to produce more detail
and greater nuances on digital images than any other LCD or CRT on the
market today.
MultiSync LCD2180WG LED features include:
Wide color gamut
achieves 107% size/100% coverage of Adobe RGB
Variable whitepoint system backlight
is achieved by varying the relative in-
tensity of the red, green and blue LEDs and results in no loss of luminance or
available LUT levels when the whitepoint is adjusted between 5000-9300K)
Built-in color feedback system
stabilizes target color in one minute after
power is turned on vs. up to 30 minutes for standard desktop LCDs. The
system also maintains the stability of color over time
ColorComp
™
compensates for the differences with the screen’s white uni-
formity and improves the color and luminance uniformity of the display
10-bit internal look-up tables (LUTs)
allow the monitor to display from a
color palette of more than 1 billion colors as well as precise adjustments
to be made to the display’s tone response curve without reducing the
number of displayable colors
Built-in feedback
maintains color stability and better color tracking com-
pared to CCFL
True 10-bit digital video input
designed for compatibility with future 10-bit
video cards and operating systems
