Fast Response Time

An overdrive circuit is included to reduce midtone response time and ensure that movies and other moving images look clean and sharp with an absolute minimum of blurring and ghosting.

Brightness and Color Uniformity with DUE

Uniformity errors usually seen as brighter or darker areas on the screen are characteristic of all LCD pan- els. A Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE) function effectively compensates for these errors, resulting in a much more uniform image.

12-Bit Gamma, 16-Bit Internal Processing

EIZO’s latest integrated circuit is built-in and fea- tures a 12-bit look-up table with a color palette of 68 billion colors from which the most appropriate 16.7 million (8-bits) are displayed. It also has 16-bit inter- nal processing for smooth display of grayscale tones, especially in dark areas of an image.

With 10-bit processing, the error rate is high in low tonal areas during calculation. With 16-bit processing, accuracy is significantly improved resulting in fewer conversion errors.
