Which operating system is required for the ColorNavigator calibration software?
EIZO offers different versions of the ColorNavigator software. They are compatible with Windows or Mac operating systems.
What does "viewing angle" mean?
The viewing angle relates to the angle, beneath which the contrast is better than 10:1. These are normally values of 160° to 178°. These values do not provide any information about what enormous differences in contrast may result within the viewing angle. The contrasts should not change significantly for users with a perpendicular view and a slightly side-on view. It must not make a difference whether the viewer is looking at the middle of the image or the edge of the image. How much the contrast stability varies with different LCD technologies is best checked using a measurement diagram or by a direct visual comparison. The more stable the contrast in the user's viewing frustum, the better the image rendering.

What is the ‘Smart Resolution’ functionality for?
Smart Resolution is a technology patented by EIZO, which checks the screen content for noise and blurring. Smart Resolution ensures that noise is not amplified and sharpens the image by correcting blurring. For a game, for example, Smart Resolution can resharpen the image to make it seem more life-like. For other content, such as photos and websites, Smart Resolution differentiates between skin tones and improves how they look.
What does the remote control do?

Do I need a driver for my EIZO monitor?
