Barco creates LCD with colour critical quality

Flat panel displays have definitely come of age for colour critical applications with Barcos launch of its first LCD, the Coloris Calibrator.

Barco has managed to unite the advantages of LCD technology with the colour accuracy and consistency required in colour critical environments, said Barco senior vice president Luc Vandenroucke.

It features an integrated measuring and calibration tool, Color I-Guard, that automatically keeps the monitor in spec.

The 20.1in display has a resolution of 1,600x1,200 pixels and is claimed to offer a flicker free, bright and crisp image with a viewing angle of 170.

It also comes with Barcos Coloristalk software that enables users to set the colour temperature, brightness, and gamma to suit their preferences.
