Eizo is hoping to set a new benchmark for artists, video editors and other colour-conscious computer users with the launch of the ColorEdge Quietly introduced at the PMA photo expo but named public now, the 30-inch Flexscan LCD monitors is designed to be as true as manageable to the color ranges that appear in most video: courtesy of 12-bit color lookup and 16-bit color processing, the display captures one hundred percent of the NTSC gamut and 97 percent of Adobe’s RGB colour space, insuring that few if any colors will be mishandled even in photo editing. Eizo is renowned for its often specialized monitors. The company returns with 2 fresh FlexScan LCDs that promise to cover 95% of the Adobe RGB colour space (and 92% of the NTSC colour gamut).

Liquid crystals are nearly exactly what they sound like: crystalline structures clad in a liquid. When electricity is run through a LCD array, the crystals either enlarge or reduce, depending on the signal. Liquid crystals in 2mp monochrome medical grade act as a dynamic polarizing agent. They change their orientation when you position a voltage across an LCD cell.
