-
True 10-Bit Colour Depth, 14-Bit 3D LUT, ΔE ≤ 2.
The monitors produce over a billion colours for ultra-smooth gradations. The 14-bit colour lookup table guarantees absolute colour accuracy as defined by the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairge’s (CIE) Delta E deviation of less than 2, which designates the finest colour fidelity, exceeding the limits of human vision.

Hotkey Puck and Pro Shading Hood.
The unique “Hotkey Puck” remote control enables instant switching between colour modes and image settings, and the included detachable shading hood works in both portrait and landscape orientations to block ambient light and glare for superb colour accuracy.
