Occasionally we come across
items not made by Leica which are definitely of interest to Leica users. One such line of items are color
monitors. These are important to
everyone doing post production work with Photoshop, Lightroom or similar programs. Especially for those doing their own
printing, a high quality monitor is essential.
Color matching is a definite issue; the image as seen on the monitor
should be as close to identical to what appears on the printed enlargements as
possible.
A newly designed monitor from
MMD was just announced. MMD (Multimedia Displays) is a wholly-owned
company of TPV established in 2009 through a brand license agreement with
Philips, and its role is to exclusively market and sell Philips branded LCD monitors
and displays worldwide. Synonymous with
quality and trusted around the world, the Philips brand is a name that can be universally
trusted.
MMD just presented a new
27inch IPS-AHVA Display which is calibrated at the manufacturing facility
across the entire RGB color spectrum.
The unit is capable to show over one billion colors with virtually
perfect accuracy. The six-axis
adjustment of PerfectKolor-Technology allows for precise fine-tuning of all the
colors shown. Display variations in
brightness and color are automatically compensated using SmartUniformity. In addition, the display has a webcam,
speakers and Quad-clear HD images at a resolution of 2560 x 1440 or 2560 x 1080
pixels. Wide viewing angles provide
clear recognizable images from every angle.
With the SmartErgoBase you can tilt and swivel the screen. The MultiView function allows to
simultaneously display images from two input sources.
With a relatively low price
of 799 euros ($945) this monitor offers color accuracy, combined with ease of
operation. It has to be considered a
welcome addition to any digital photography work station.
