Case Study: National Gallery achieves precise, color-accurate art imaging with EIZO ColorEdge CG279X

National Gallery boosts image precision with EIZO ColorEdge CG279X and 99% sampling efficiency

The National Gallery, home to one of the world's greatest collections of European art, required a highly precise and reliable monitor for its Photography and Imaging Department. Their challenge was to create and examine incredibly accurate digital images of paintings for conservation, study, and public access, removing subjectivity and ensuring color and tonal precision throughout their workflow. To meet this need, they implemented the EIZO ColorEdge CG279X monitor.

The EIZO solution provided the National Gallery with a self-calibrating monitor that delivers exceptional color accuracy, with a typical dE2000 of under 0.6, and displays their full archival color space. This allowed photographers to examine images with precise tonality and smooth gradations, boosting both productivity and precision. The automated weekly calibrations ensured consistent, reliable performance without interrupting the workday, giving the team confidence in the absolute accuracy of their digital representations of priceless art.
