Flawless Color Out of the Box

Every unit is pre-calibrated at the factory and comes with its own color calibration report. Each report gives you a reading of your panel’s sRGB, EBU, SMPTE-C, REC709, and uniformity, giving you more additional item readings than a typical color report. In addition, time spent fine-tuning VP series monitors before they are ready to be used is four times more than competing brands, bringing our users the highest quality color calibration possible.
