Eizo is hoping to set a new benchmark for artists, video editors and other colour-conscious computer users with the launch of the ColorEdge Quietly presented at the PMA photo expo but made public now, the thirty-inch Eizo LCD monitors is fashioned to be as faithful as possible to the color ranges that appear in most video: courtesy of 12-bit color search and 16-bit color processing, the display gets 100 percent of the NTSC gamut and ninety-seven percent of Adobe’s RGB colour space, insuring that a few if any colors will be mishandled even in photo editing. Eizo is well-known for its often specialised monitors. The company returns with 2 new FlexScan LCDs that promise to cover 95% of the Adobe RGB colour space (and 92% of the NTSC colour gamut).
Totoku’s 22.2-inch CCL901 has a upper limit resolution of 3,840 x 2,400 at 24-bit colour, which works out to about 9.2 megapixels and 200 dpi.

The ME551i2 has a 11.9-bit search table (LUT) that allows a pallet of 3826 shades of gray and can display 2048 shades with a specialised view and 256 shades without.

Liquid crystals are almost exactly what they sound like: crystalline structures clad in a liquid. When electricity is run over a LCD array, the crystals either enlarge or reduce, depending on the signal. Liquid crystals in 2mp monochrome medical grade act as a dynamic polarise agent. They change their orientation when you position a voltage across an LCD cell.
