) could distinguish every single color pattern on the display. You mean they are less dull on the cx?
Yes and no. Games should be gamma corrected with respect to the sRGB trc – the higher tonal density in the shadows when using a Gamma 2.2 gradation for reproduction can lead to a loss of detail in the shadows. However: The data isn't characterized and we don't know the conditions under which the grading was executed. At the same time – just as you mentioned – the ambient conditions can vary in a wide range and we don't need to realize a perfect colorimetric reproduction.
As already mentioned you can of course reproduce games without color space transformations which will lead to a very saturated visual impression due to the large color space of this screen. The contrast range is of course not as high than that offered by modern VA panels (with significant constraints regarding viewing angle). Thanks to the special polarisation film (comparable to LGs A-TW solution) the perceived contrast should be at least sufficient even when playing games with high shadow portion.
A CMM internally calculates with high precision (normally 32bit float). For use in color aware software you can just rely on the native color space of the display even when it offers a full featured color space emulation. This also ensures the highest possible flexibility. For other tasks (e.g. games, video color grading or reproduction) a color space emulation is of course very important.
There is a difference between CG246 and CX240. The solution of the CX is comparable to the implementation NEC uses for their PA screens via OSD or SpectraView II. The CG offers a more flexible and precise approach (second emulation function) that precalculates a 3D-LUT on basis of the actual display and emulation profile. SpectraView Profiler provides that too. Nevertheless: The results are very pleasing regardless of the method.
So i wont have a lot to get used to when i get the CX240.
Perhaps be amazed that it's IPS without glow, unlike the EV2436W
The calculations of the display engine are of course precise enough – at least with a "fresh" display. Moreover: Deviations over time can be compensated by udpating the reference data. Eizo now also supports a relative colorimetric intent (Gamut clipping) in this emulation workflow, just like NEC.
when I don't calibrate gamma my GDM-FW900 image looks gorgeous, alive and real and when I calibrate it to sRGB gamma everything become dull and lifeless. Damn SONY, they did someting so I can't use sRGB and have to use gamma ~2.4 that provide superior image quality in pretty much every content out there, be it games, movies, youtube videos, websites, etc.
Got my CX240.
Everything about it is just awesome, no more IPS Glow, great colors (like my old S2231W).
I also noticed the AG Coating is extremely light compared to my old S2231W and my current EV2436W. It really cannot be noticed at all anymore.
The manufacturing date is 21-06-2013 which is suppost to have the upgraded fan. I kinda doubt this is true tho, i can hear the fan spinning and it's clearly the fan and not air, since the fan doesn't spin that hard at all. It's something i have to deal with. I will most likely make some sort of tunnel to lead the noise upwards. Ill find a way to dampen it
Something i noticed is that the Brightness is limited. I would have liked to lower it past 50cd/m2, but this isn't possible. I personally find 50 still bright in a moderate dark room. This is a small downside, but as i said a personal thing.
Last thing i noticed is that the Displayport cable is a Full Sized to Mini, would have liked to see Full Sized on both ends.
