Custom Color Gamut dialog
The Custom Color Gamut dialog is accessed by clicking the Edit... button in the Color Gamut section of the Edit
Calibration Target dialog.
Note:
Supported models only. Refer to the "Custom Color Gamut" column in the "Features by Model" tables on page 58 and
page 60 for the specific capabilities of each display model.
The color gamut of the monitor can be altered by changing the positions of the red, green and blue primary colors. This
can be done by either clicking and dragging the positioning controls on the CIE xy diagram, or by modifying the CIE xy
values for each primary color.
The native color gamut of the monitor is shown as a yellow triangle on the CIE xy chromaticity diagram in the dialog. This
triangle represents the limits for displayable colors, and colors outside it can not be represented correctly by the display.
The LCD panels used in the NEC MultiSync PA Series (except the PA231W) are known as wide color gamut panels,
meaning they can display a much wider range of colors than typical monitors.
However, for some applications, it is not desirable to use such a wide color gamut, and in these cases, the Color Gamut
control can be used to manipulate the color gamut size and shape.
In other instances it is desirable for the monitor to behave as though it has an even larger color gamut than it actually
has. In this case colors that lie outside the displayable range of the LCD panel will be automatically converted to
The 6 Axis Color Trim function allows the screen colors to
be adjusted after calibration. Adjustments are made in the 6
Axis Color Trim dialog, available on the Tools menu. Any
adjustments to the settings for the current Target can be
reset by clicking the Reset button. See "Using 6 Axis Color
Trim" on page 57 for more information on using this
feature.
