Eizo and Totuku monitors shine with today's technology

Eizo is not a new player in big-size LCD display market. Today the firm updated it's portfolio with a new 24-inch full HD monitor for colorblind people. Eizo is hoping to set a new benchmark for artists, video editors and other color-conscious computer users with the launch of the ColorEdge CG301W . Quietly introduced at the PMA photo expo but made public today, the 30-inch Eizo lcd monitor is designed to be as faithful as possible to the color ranges that appear in most video: courtesy of 12-bit color lookup and 16-bit color processing, the display captures 100 percent of the NTSC gamut and 97 percent of Adobe's RGB color space, ensuring that few if any colors will be mishandled even in photo editing. Eizo is famous for its often-specialized monitors. The company comes back with two new FlexScan LCDs that promise to cover 95% of the Adobe RGB color space (and 92% of the NTSC color gamut).

Totoku's 22.2-inch CCL901 has a maximum resolution of 3,840 x 2,400 at 24-bit color, which works out to about 9.2 megapixels and 200dpi. The company says this single- or dual-DVI LCD has a native gamma of 1.8 and 500-Kelvin backlights, which we sincerely hope means something to Photoshop lovers out there. Their website states that the ME551i2 Totoku medical monitor is capable of display 2048 shades of gray (per sub-pixel) with an integrated viewer. The ME551i2 has a 11.9-bit lookup table (LUT) that allows a pallet of 3826 shades of gray and can display 2048 shades with a specialized view and 256 shades without. Totoku displays are comprised of high luminance, high contrast ratios, exceptional viewing angles, and a long life backlight. All Totoku displays include a removable stand, and are fully height adjustable with a tilt/swivel base.

Liquid crystals are almost exactly what they sound like: crystalline structures encased in a liquid. When electricity is run through a LCD array, the crystals either expand or contract, depending on the signal. Liquid crystals in LCD 5 mp display act as a dynamic polarizing agent. They change their orientation when you place a voltage across an LCD cell.
