In order to meet professional graphic designers, video editors, and image processors’ high standard of color, ViewSonic utilizes specific color (SRGB,EBU,6500k) calibration procedures into the flow of production. Before delivering, each VP2780-4K monitor is manually examined by a professional color expert in order to confirm that its color, brightness and color temperature match with the sRGB, Native, and EBU (European Broadcasting Union) color gamut standards. In this unique and detailed Color Calibration Factory Report, three sets of color information and manufacturing results are recorded. Delta E is examined and tested to adjust the color difference and to make sure it can achieve Delta E ≤2, one of the highest color accuracy standards. The gamma curve is examined to measure and compare the brightness performance based on light and dark scenarios by observing the changes of luminance. For each VP2780-4K, the 0-256 gray-scale is adjusted to coincide with the Gamma 2.2 curve. Gray-Scale Tracking is then used to trace the status of the color temperature based on different gauges of Gray-Scale, allowing the monitor to display precise color through stable color temperature. In addition, each VP2780 is equipped with its own individual Color Calibration Factory Report which includes the complete information of the monitor and ensures a high performance of precise color.
