Digital Light & Color

Hi,

Hmm,
check out high end Eizos, NECs and the latest offerings from Dell and LG.
Attached to a Windows system via DisplayPort with the right cards (FirePro for example), they have a 10 bit data path.

The profile contains the information for PWP to know what the monitor characteristics are after calibrati...
