Natural Color Expert

Natural Color Expert is a program developed by Samsung to maximize and optimize the capability of the Syncmaster XL20 monitor for broad color bands. It was developed to adjust the color characteristic offsets for each monitor which can occur due to mass production. A Color Calibrator is provided which allows the color characteristics of your monitor to be calibrated according to your needs.

With Natural Color Expert, you can create an icc profile for your monitor only. If required, you can also create an icc profile with some changed monitor characteristics. Save this icc profile to your PC and as the color mode of your monitor also, which allows you to view colors in a defined color space just by changing the color mode of your monitor. You do not need to use a separate CMS program such as Photoshop.

Natural Color Expert contains four (4) tabs: Calibration, Emulation, Uniformity, and Miscellaneous. The Calibration tab allows you to create an icc file. The Emulation tab allows you to change the monitor characteristics by converting color bands. The Uniformity tab allows you to enhance the uniformity of your monitor. The Miscellaneous tab measures the current status of your monitor.
