We measure a monitor"s accuracy twice: before and after a full calibration. We don"t measure the accuracy straight out of the box, but instead, we change a few settings and measure the different picture modes to see which one is the most accurate. We use a Colorimetry CR-100 Colorimeter connected to a PC with the CalMan software installed, which automatically measures the accuracy of different picture modes, and we publish the suggested picture mode that"s the most accurate according to the sRGB standards. If a monitor has an sRGB mode, we"ll use that as the suggested picture mode unless it"s extremely inaccurate and worse than other modes.

Although we measure the accuracy of all the available picture modes a monitor has, we only publish the results from our recommended one, which is the one that provides the best accuracy according to the sRGB standards. For monitors that have a dedicated sRGB mode, we usually recommend it, but there are some cases where the sRGB mode is less accurate than another mode.

The exact names of the modes differ from brand to brand. Unlike TVs, where we recommend the same picture mode across models from the same brand, this varies from model to model with monitors, and we simply choose the most accurate one.

How large the monitor"s gamut is in comparison to the sRGB color space, in the mode used for pre-calibration. Calculated using the CIE 1931 xy Color Space.

The sRGB color space is the most common color space used in most web content, and it"s the standard to which we measure the accuracy. It"s one of the more basic color spaces and isn"t nearly as wide as others, meaning it"s easier to reach full coverage. However, some monitors do this by oversaturating their colors past the limits, which can be distracting if you"re working in the sRGB color space and want the most accurate monitor possible.

We measure the sRGB gamut area coverage as a percentage. The ideal monitor has 100% coverage, while one that oversaturates its colors has a percentage higher than 100. Although it"s rare, some monitors also undersaturate colors, meaning it covers less of the color space than required.

Below you can see two examples of monitors with bad and incredible coverage. The monitor on the left completely oversaturates its colors, and the overall accuracy is off as colors don"t appear how they should. That isn"t the case with the monitor on the right, which displays all colors nearly perfectly. You"ll notice that it struggles to properly display saturated blue, though, which is a common problem with LCD monitors.

White balance dE measures how a monitor can display different shades of gray, which range from white to black. We test 17 different shades of gray using an 18% test window, from 0% (black) to 100% gray (white) at increments of about 6%, and the CalMan software automatically calculates the average standard deviation (dE) between the different shades. The lower the dE, the better.

You can also look at the measurement photos to see what the white balance looks like. For monitors that have a bad white balance, the bars on the left will be bigger, meaning they"re further from the expected value, and the dE is larger. Each bar is represented by its actual shade of gray too. On the graph on the right, you can see whythe white balance is off. Because white is made of red, green, and blue subpixels on all at the same time, this measurement is to show which color the monitor is displaying the most. In this case, the monitor on the left below is displaying too much blue with brighter shades of gray, causing the white balance to be off. You can see with the monitor on the right that there are hardly any inaccuracies.

A monitor"s color temperature tells us how cool or warm the image is. A warm color temperature results in a red tint, while a cooler temperature has a bluer tint. The target for this test is 6500 K, and anything above is too cold, while anything below is too hot. However, most people don"t notice a difference until it"s about 400 K above or below the target.

While we don"t have an exact graph to show the color temperature, you can see the effects of the color temperature in the color gamut graph. If you look at the monitor on the left that has a warm color temperature, you can see in the color gamut that most colors are shifted towards red, indicating the red tint. It"s the opposite with the monitor on the right, as most colors shift towards blue, meaning the image has a blue tint.

The gamma graph is easy to read as the yellow line represents the sRGB curve, and the gray line is the monitor"s gamma. The x-axis at the bottom is the shades from dark to bright. The final value is an average over the entire gamma curve, and the ideal value is 2.20. While some monitors can have a value of exactly 2.20, it doesn"t mean they follow the target perfectly over the entire curve. You can see that with the monitor on the right as dark scenes are too bright, and bright scenes are too dark, but overall the gamma is still great. However, with the monitor on the left, it doesn"t follow the target curve at all, as most scenes are too bright.

In the graphs below, the target value for each color is represented by the square within the sRGB color space, and the dot represents the color that the monitor actually displays. You can also see the dE of each individual color with the bars on the left side, like with the white balance. Having bad color accuracy also results in bad color temperature and oversaturated colors, as they"re all connected. You can see that"s the case with the monitor on the left below, while the one on the right displays colors nearly perfectly, and the color temperature, white balance, and gamut coverage on that monitor are also all nearly perfect.

We measure the brightness of the display during our pre-calibration measurements to show how bright it is in the most accurate picture mode. While this value isn"t important for most monitors as you can adjust the brightness, which doesn"t affect the overall picture quality, there are some monitors whose brightness setting is locked in the sRGB picture mode. In that case, it"s important to know the brightness of the display in sRGB so that when you"re using the mode, you know exactly how bright it is.

As mentioned, some monitors with an sRGB picture mode disable the brightness setting when in sRGB. We include whether or not you can adjust the setting.

RGB Setting:With some monitors, you can change the individual values of the Red, Green, and Blue colors if you find that the colors are off. We normally leave it at the default for the pre-calibration measurement but change it for the calibration.

Gamma Setting:Some monitors have different gamma settings, so we set it at the setting that should follow the sRGB target the most. You can adjust this setting to your liking if you don"t like the target.

We measure the color dE, white balance dE, gamma, and color temperature after a full calibration to the 6500K white point, and it"s measured the same way as it was before calibration. This score shows you how accurate the colors are after a full calibration, but most monitors more or less have the same results here, so it isn"t a very important score, and full calibrations can be costly.

Using the colorimeter and CalMAN 5 for Business software, it measures the colors and the software calibrates the monitor until it gets the best results possible.

You"ll see the same tests as in the pre-calibration box, so it"s good to compare the different results and settings. However, we also include the ICC profile that CalMan generates. This profile is meant for our unit only, and we don"t suggest you use it on your monitor, even if it"s the same model.

Like any test or measurement, it isn"t perfect. We all see colors differently, and our eyes perceive differences in unique ways. The measurement doesn"t tell you what exact color the monitor produces either; if it"s supposed to display red but has a dE of 2, we don"t know if it"s closer to orange or pink. However, this test is an objective measurement to show how accurate and inaccurate certain monitors are.

While we tend to recommend using the sRGB picture mode for monitors that have one, you don"t need to always use it. These modes usually lock out certain settings, so if you want to have access to those settings, use another mode, even if it means it"s less accurate. The sRGB picture mode is really ideal if you"re a photo editor or web developer and you need to see the most accurate colors possible.

To get the most accurate colors possible, you"ll need to pay extra for a full calibration. These could get costly and might even cost as much as the monitor itself. Changing the picture mode and adjusting the brightness levels to your liking will be good enough for most people. At the end of the day, what you consider accurate may not be the same for someone else, so always adjust the settings to your liking.

During calibration, we adjust the settings until we find the best image possible. However, we try to avoid making extreme changes because it could affect something else, like changing the white balance too much might hurt the color accuracy. We don"t aim for the best results in the individual tests, but rather the best overall image.

Since the white balance dE is an average of all the shades we test, we try leaving the shades relatively similar. If the 20% gray shade has a dE of 2, while the others are at 0, the average would be 0.2, which is excellent, but that means the jump between the 10% gray to the 20% gray would be too jarring. Instead, we want each shade to have a similar dE, so in this case, it would be better if each shade had a dE of 0.2.

Don"t get mixed up between a monitor"s color accuracy and its color gamut. A color gamut, whether in SDR or HDR, tells us what range of colors a monitor can display, and its color accuracy tells us how well it can display those colors.

Color accuracy tells us how well a monitor can display colors and shades. Whether you"re a photo editor or simply sitting back to watch your favorite videos or play games, color accuracy is important, and you want to view content as the creator intended. We measure the color dE, white balance dE, color temperature, and gamma before and after a full calibration. Since full calibrations are costly and produce similar results between each monitor, the pre-calibration results are more important.

It"s important to remember color accuracy differs from monitor to monitor, even if they"re the same model because of manufacturing differences, so the results on our unit might not be the same as yours.

With more people spending more time in front of computer monitors it is important to purchase a quality monitor that will provide crisp, bright images, while reducing the strain on your eyes.

Users would include computer repair centers, system integrators, quality assurance personnel, graphic designers and anyone that cares about the quality of their monitor.

Have you ever properly checked the display quality of the LCD you habitually use? Very often people become aware of previously unnoticed problems in display quality when they run a check using test patterns and so on. This time we are going to talk about the basic points used to assess LCD display quality, and show you a simple way to test it.

Below is the translation from the Japanese of the ITmedia article "The difference in image quality is perfectly obvious! – Let"s check the LCD"s monitor" published April 22, 2010. Copyright 2011 ITmedia Inc. All Rights Reserved.

First of all, bear with us in the following simple test. Below is image data of a row of three squares. In the center of each square is a letter so faint as to be barely distinguishable, so there are three letters in all. Read from the left they make up a word. Can you see that hidden word?

That"s right. The answer is "LCD" (it is displayed if you drag the space between the brackets). We assume that probably many users could read the letters concealed in the squares.

So, the next test is much more difficult. A word is concealed in the four squares below, just as in the image above. The letters are written in colors that are very similar to those of the boxes and we expect that, in many cases, it is hard to distinguish them in your browser. We would like you to download the image and check it closely in photo retouching software or a viewer that is capable of accurate color reproduction.

This time the answer is "EIZO" (it is displayed if you drag the space between the brackets). Depending on the lighting or the user"s environment it may be hard to make out but, if you can read these four letters, the display quality, or more accurately the still image gradation expression, of your LCD is extremely high.

Let"s get down to details then. "Image quality" is the top priority of the LCD, of course. However, recently LCD prices are fiercely competitive and there are surprisingly few products that insist on high image quality and performance. It may be nice to be able to get hold of a wide-screen monitor with full HD (1920 × 1080 dot) resolution or higher fairly cheaply, but it cannot be denied that such LCDs tend not to place too much importance on display quality.

On the other hand, the increasing opportunities to enjoy things like HD videos and games, and high resolution digital photographs on the computer make LCD display quality even more important. As far as possible it"s best to use an LCD with excellent display quality in order to fully enjoy the charms of the visual content.

Even so, perhaps you think that there can"t really be that much wrong with the LCDs that so many people are using at the moment. Here we would like to show you a simple method to check LCD display quality. You can get a good idea of whether the basic display quality is good or bad just by looking at how some simple test images are displayed, just like in the introductory quiz. First of all, we would like you to get a sense of how important it is that "image data can be properly displayed" by checking the display of the LCD that you currently use, (that"s right, the one you are using to view this page!).

The test items use color / monochrome patterned images to check gradation expression, and simple images to check brightness / chromaticity variation. Downloads are available of several test images, such as gradation patterns. We would like you to display the downloaded test images in photo retouching software or a viewer that can reproduce color accurately. As we mentioned at the start of this article, you have to be careful as in many cases colors cannot be displayed accurately in web browsers. (Currently only a few browsers such as Safari and Firefox 3.x can handle color management).

Before starting your visual check of the display quality, please return to your LCD"s setting to default, and select Adobe RGB or sRGB as the image quality mode. If these modes are not available it is fine to set the color temperature to 6500K and gamma to 2.2. If you cannot adjust the color temperature and gamma, simply adjust the brightness and contrast so that they are easier to discern. Of course, if it"s an LCD environment that has been color calibrated it"s OK to leave it as it is.

The average LCD takes some time for the monitor to stabilize after it is switched on so, after start up, please wait at least 30 minutes or so before doing the test. (Most EIZO monitors are an exception to this as they are equipped with our proprietary dimming function and the monitor stabilizes in a short time after start up.)

We would also like you to adjust the monitor stand so that things like the room"s lighting are not reflected on the screen. You have to be particularly careful with products that have a glare (glossy) type screen as they are highly reflective. Visual assessment is impeded when ambient light is reflected. It will be much easier to make an assessment if you turn off the room lights at night and exclude as much ambient light as possible. This applies for both glare and non-glare (matte) types.

The surface treatment of an LCD makes a difference to the background reflection. Glare panels impede the surface diffusion of backlight, which does make it easier to achieve high color purity, but also makes distinct reflections of the user or lighting much more likely (photo on the left).

For your reference, we ran a test on an EIZO 24.1-inch wide-screen LCD, the FlexScan SX2462W, for this article. The FlexScan SX series comes with a number of high image quality functions and boasts top class display quality as a general-purpose LCD intended for a computer.

When checking the display quality of an LCD it is comparatively easy to understand the gradation expression capability by a visual check. Let"s display color and monochrome gradation images and check whether the entire image is smoothly reproduced. If there is a problem with the gradation expression it produces things like blocked-up shadows in dark areas and blown-out highlights in light areas, banding (vertical or horizontal stripes) in the middle gradations, and color cast, so you should check for problems like these.

Test images of color / monochrome gradations are shown below. Each test image is prepared for three resolution levels (1280 × 800 dots / 1680 × 1050 dots / 1920 × 1200 dots). When you click on an image it is displayed in that actual resolution. We would like you to download the images in the resolution which matches that of your current LCD. Gradation expression can vary according to whether the image is viewed horizontally or vertically, so it will be more effective if you rotate these images and view them vertically as well.

A gradation pattern where the colors red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow go through 16 gradients as they change to white or black. This is an easy test image so we expect that it can be seen in most environments that each color bar is divided into 16 blocks.

A gradation pattern where the colors red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow go through 64 gradients as they change to white or black. Each color bar is divided into 64 rectangular blocks. With this many gradients we expect that many LCDs will find it hard to make distinctions in the dark areas or the areas that are close to primary colors.

A smooth gradation pattern where the colors red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow go through 256 gradients as they change to white or black. At this level of difficulty you cannot distinguish between adjoining colors from a distance but, if you have an LCD with excellent gradation expression, if you look closely you should be able to see that each color is divided into thin rectangular blocks.

A gradation pattern that changes from black to white. It is divided into 5 horizontal bars: from the top, smooth, 128 gradients, 64 gradients, 32 gradients and 16 gradients. Even if all the differences can be distinguished in the 16 and 32 gradient patterns near the bottom, we expect that there will be some parts in the 64 and 128 gradient patterns where it is hard to see the boundaries between adjoining colors. With this kind of monochrome test image you should also check whether any unnecessary colors are mixed with the gray.

On an average LCD gradations of gray that are close to black tend to appear as blocked-up shadows (gradations of gray that are close to white are displayed comparatively accurately). If your LCD"s OSD menu allows you to adjust the contrast, please try gradually turning down the contrast. Turning down the contrast often makes it possible to see gradations that had been subject to blocked-up shadows or blown-out highlights.

Probably most LCDs will be able to detect some degree of banding and color cast in the middle gradations. Banding in the middle gradations is tone jump (Missing gradations) and, along with color cast, means that the RGB gamma curves are unequal. Unlike blocked-up shadows or blown-out highlights, this is an area that it is hard to improve with adjustments made by the user.

When there is a problem with the gradation expression, the original colors of the content being displayed cannot be reproduced. If you look carefully at displays like video, games or photographs you can probably see or sense things like a lack of depth in the coloration, unnatural color shifts in the middle gradations or displays blanked out with large blocked-up shadows. Of course, it is very hard to use such monitors for things where color reproduction such as photo retouching or graphics work.

When we looked at these test images on the FlexScan SX2462W, in the smooth gradation there was blocked-up shadows right next to the black but we could distinguish differences in gradations of gray until very close to the black area. When it comes to such subtle gradation distinctions the brightness of the room and the adaptability of the eye come into play, so the range that is visible will vary according to the environment and the individual. The gradation expression was excellent, with almost no blown-out highlights in light areas, middle gradation banding or color cast.

A row of images of slightly different grays (1050 × 300 dots). If you cannot see the boundaries between the grays there is probably a problem with the display environment or gradation expression of your monitor.

The answer is "The far right" (it is displayed if you drag the space between the brackets). If the other grays looked correct, color may not be being correctly recognized for a variety of reasons, such as the lighting environment or the LCD settings.

For example, when the room is lit with standard household incandescent lights white and gray look reddish, while fluorescent lights can make them greenish (which is why there is some lighting that is made to conform to color evaluations). What is more, white and gray can have a reddish tinge when the monitor has been set to a low color temperature, while a high setting can give them a bluish tinge. Thus it often happens that the gray in visual data does not look like a true gray.

The important thing in actual use is that you should not adjust the image quality of your monitor or edit visual material while looking at colors that are being wrongly recognized like this. There are some products where the RGB values of the monitor can be adjusted individually, but this requires caution since fiddling around randomly often leads to irreparable loss of color balance. An effective way to make subtle adjustments to the color detail of image data is to display neutral gray or white image data and use that as a yardstick.

Now let"s assess the gradation expression with some slightly different test images. Below are color patterns with a spread of pale colors in gradations close to the dark range and the light range. They are arranged so that a distinction cannot be made between adjoining colors on an LCD with insufficient gradation expression.

We expect that you could roughly get the whole picture in the gradation patterns on the previous page, but in the patterns this time some parts that cannot be seen may have appeared in some cases. As we mentioned earlier, LCDs tend to display gradations close to black as a blocked-up shadows, and color patterns that are close to black are particularly hard to distinguish.

Since there are some parts that cannot be seen, the possibility arises subtle skin colors and tones cannot be accurately recognized when doing things like retouching photographs, though the misrecognition will vary according to the user"s eyesight. People who place importance on color reproduction should probably bear this in mind when they think about replacing their LCD or buying an extra one.

Incidentally, when we checked the FlexScan SX2462W with these tests we could distinguish everything in both the close to white and the close to black patterns. As well as no blown-out highlights or blocked-up shadows, we saw no unnatural color casts.

Every LCD has some degree of brightness and chromaticity variation, but there are many products where the variations become more obvious when the brightness is lowered. A comparison of the brightness and chromaticity variation of a number of LCDs reveals that there is a fairly large difference between products, so this is a point to bear in mind.

If you actually try this test you may be surprised to find more variation than you expected when gray or a near-white pale color is displayed. Generally speaking, the center of an LCD screen is the brightest and it gradually gets darker towards the edges. This is no problem if there is not a big difference in brightness between the central and peripheral areas, but there are some products where this difference is very striking.

Incidentally, this test is also an effective way to test the LCD for dot defects (normal lighting / unlit room). We would like you to check the black display in a darkened environment, for example by switching off all the room lights at night. Although you probably saw the whole screen as uniformly black in a light environment, very often in a dark environment you can find variations in some parts due to light leaks.

The FlexScan SX2462W got good results again when we tried it with the brightness and chromaticity variation tests. The brightness decreased slightly at the edges of the screen, particularly the lower edge, but overall the display was even and pleasing. It is installed with a "digital uniformity equalizer" that measures brightness and chromaticity throughout the screen and makes corrections so that the entire screen is uniform.

Monochrome full-screen displays on a FlexScan SX2462W. Only the screen display is shown. The bottom right is a near-white pale orange. There are not many LCDs that can display this kind of pale color as uniformly as this

However, the pitfall here is that it simply means that "the screen is visible". The thing is that the viewing angle specifications are permitted to use the term "visible" until the display contrast ratio drops to an extremely low 10:1 or 5:1 when the screen is viewed from an angle (the steeper the angle from which the LCD screen is viewed, the more the contrast generally declines). In other words, they do not take into account the display uniformity of the central and peripheral areas of the screen, or the level of chromatic change, when the screen is viewed from an angle.

The ideal viewing angles is that the brightness and chromaticity is very uniform and there is not much chromatic change, even when the screen is viewed from a slight angle. The viewing angles given in the specifications are not really very helpful, but you can judge the standard of the panel type that the LCD (liquid crystal panel) adopts. IPS liquid crystal panels have the least change in brightness or chromaticity when the screen is viewed from an angle, and they are followed by VA panels. An IPS or VA liquid crystal panel can be said to indicate the superior nature of the product itself, so this is often included in the catalog or specifications. It is probably a good idea to look through the catalogs of various products.

On the other hand, monitors installed with cost-effective TN liquid crystal panels are in fact the most numerous. However, the TN type lags far behind the IPS and VA types in terms of characteristic viewing angle changes in brightness and chromaticity. Simply viewing the screen from a slightly different angle makes the coloration change dramatically, and the screen looks completely different according to whether it is viewed vertically or horizontally. If the vertical and horizontal viewing angles in the specifications are different then it is a TN type. There are quite a few products with a 20-inch wide screen or larger where colors look different in the central and peripheral areas even when the screen is viewed straight on.

The gradation images and monochrome images from earlier in this article can be used as they are to check the viewing angles. Display an image on the whole screen, look at it straight on and check whether the brightness and colors are uniform at the top and bottom of the screen, and in the center and at both sides. Then gradually shift the angle from which you view the screen and check how the brightness and coloration change. If you do this with photographic data as well as the test images, you should be able to get a better sense of the difference in the display.

We explained here about easy ways to check LCD monitor quality. How were the results for your current LCD? We think that many people were probably very bothered by the blocked-up shadows and blown-out highlights when the test images to check gradation were displayed, by the middle gradation banding, and by the variations in brightness and chromaticity when the monochrome images were displayed.

As we mentioned at the beginning, recently the number of LCDs with excellent display quality is on the decline. Although we would not go so far as to say that the display quality of inexpensive products is poor. Of course a high quality LCD is indispensable if you want to enjoy using your computer, properly handle the needs of applications that require color reproducibility, and to fully enjoy all the benefits of rich content.

The EIZO FlexScan LCD series has excellent display quality in those regards, and we have no qualms about recommending them to everyone. The product line-up is diverse but each model is clearly ranked according to the purpose to which it is suited and its screen size, and they all guarantee above-standard display quality. They may cost a little more than you had budgeted for but the clear value they offer exceeds their price.

If, after trying these tests, you have doubts about the display quality of the LCD that you usually use, we would certainly urge you to consider an EIZO LCD. We would also recommend that you construct a multi-display environment by making the new LCD your main monitor and the one that you have been using your sub monitor.

I decided to make my own display that I can connect it to Raspberry pi or Jetson nano. so I"ve recently bought TFT 480x480 LCD with ST7701S and RGB interface. I think I"m providing valid signal, but It doesn"t seem to work, as It"s always black no matter what I do. but I"m not sure if the LCD is broken or I"m doing something wrong.

Is there generic, low-cost and easy to use board that can be used to test it? I"ve heard there"s "STM32F429I-DISC" for such use, but I want to know if there are other boards for it
