imagine monitors as suited to critical applications as you are.

Samsung XL Series SyncMaster XL20/XL24/XL30 Professional-Grade LCD Monitors with LED Backlighting Samsung XL20/XL24/XL30 Professional-Grade LCD Monitors with LED Backlighting for Critical Color Applications

imagine monitors capable of reproducing color exactly the way you see it. Samsung XL-series professional-grade monitors employ an LED backlight unit (BLU) to deliver critically accurate color. They’re monitors for those who, like us, require nothing less than perfection from the equipment that their careers and reputations depend on. With the Samsung XL20, XL24 and XL30, it’s not hard to imagine.

The Samsung LCD LED backlight unit. You have a critical eye for color. And now, you have a critical monitor for color. Samsung’s LED BLU (Backlight Unit) goes beyond CRT phosphor and LCD CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) technologies.

The Samsung LED BLU uses LEDs instead of fluorescent lamps to backlight our XL-series monitors. The color wavelengths of LEDs have a higher purity level than fluorescent lamps. The result is purer , a wider range of and , and the widest range of color reproduction yet. Intensity Intensity Intensity Intensity

Up to 123% NTSC color . Traditional CCFL LCD displays reproduce just 82% of the NTSC RGB color gamut. The latest CCFL technology is able to reproduce 102%. The Samsung XL20, on the other hand, reproduces 114% of the NTSC color gamut, while the XL24 and XL30 reproduce a full 123%. With Samsung, all NTSC can be displayed, as well as colors that have previously been impossible to reproduce. You no longer have to compromise. Your color can be exactly the way you want it.

Adobe RGB is the standard color profile for digital cameras and printers. It covers a wider gamut of colors than sRGB, and if you’re working on a monitor that won’t reproduce Adobe sRGB color space RGB colors, it will automatically convert your colors to sRGB. Color correction becomes inaccurate, and differences in color become even more pronounced when printing.

The XL24 and XL30 have a wide enough color gamut to reproduce sRGB, Adobe RGB and CMYK profiles. The color you see is exactly the color you get.

Superior . You need more than a superior monitor for accurate color representation. You also need a superior CMS (color management system).

Original Monitor Calibration Printer Calibration Monitor / Printer Matching Same Color

Samsung Natural Color Expert calibration software works in conjunction with Huey probe (XL20) and Eyeone Display 2 (XL24/XL30) calibrators, to deliver precision color.

The Samsung CMS measures the output characteristics of the XL display and creates a unique profile. That profile is mapped with ICC-established independent color spaces to provide a universal, accurate color representation. The accuracy of the Samsung CMS provides critically correct color throughout the lifetime of the monitor, even as it ages.

Up to 14-bit LUT processing. Using an 8-bit LUT (look-up table) input, the XL20 produces 10-bit LUT output, while 10 bit LUT the XL24 and XL30 produce 14-bit LUT output. The image values are mapped to 8 bit LUT , with the top of the LUT initialized to and the bottom to . Grayscale 14 bit LUT is distributed between. The result is smoother, more accurate grayscale reproduction.

The BLU is green. XL-series professional-grade monitors are environmentally friendly. The LED backlight contains none of the mercury or halogen that CCFL backlights do.

And more.

Samsung XL series monitors feature a And the use of the Samsung LED BLU professional hood that’s actually part of the instead of fluorescent lamps results in longer color system, as it blocks ambient light and life of up to 100,000 hours. ensures accurate color viewing.
