114% color gamut
Typical LCD monitor shows only 82% of NTSC color gamut (Even typical CRT monitor covers only 79~82%). SAMSUNG's new reference series LCD Monitors with LED backlight has color gamut of 114%, revealing a previously unseen world of vivid colors.

calibrator
Natural color uses a calibrator to produce a more precise profile. Characteristics of each display device measured through the calibrator can be saved as ICC profile on an OS and device. The saved ICC profile then delivers color that is true to the image by changing to the image's own color gamut using CMS programs such as photoshop or viewer program. XL20 uses a calibrator which is specifically tuned to the XL20'sw high performance range. This is because XL20 uses LED backlight as its light source rather than CCFL, offering optimized viewing and optimized calibration.

hood
A detachable hood allows you to appreciate professional image quality. Its high style design makes it more than a tool for eliminating ambient light interference. Plush inner fabric effectively removes reflection.

LED backlight monitors
