Thanks for the information, Nock. I do own a Dell and it also has such setting. In this monitor, the selection of RGB or YUV is done automatically by the monitor.

Thanks!!!

I can check, but this unit was manufactured on June/2013. Will try to check with them. However, it seems to me that the issue could be HDLink capability, or lack of. Will try to call Dwaine to see if there is some other angle I have not thought of yet.

Thanks,

Luis

The HDLink that I own has DiplayPoty output, not DVI or optic fiber. I tried DP to DVI adapter, but it does not work. The only option that works is DP to HDMI via adapter and going back to DVI in the monitor, but the signal is Pink. Aside, DVI is, as far as I know, 8 bit connection. If I could fix the color Pink issue, and I can confirm that the DVI can carry the 10 bit signal from the HDMI, then I have it solved.

Thanks!

I said the original HDMI. Both came out more or less at the same time, but due to cheaper cost of manufacturing, HDMI was widely deployed, and further upgraded.

Just as a summary to answer your question, the same question has been discussed among the professional AV for a long time.

Despite having a better, more robust plug-in connector, a better AV bit depth capability than HDMI, why it did not have a wider deployment? The answer is simple: the connections (I/O) and the cable construction of HDMI are way cheaper than the DisplayPort.

If you have both side by side, and read the original specs, you will scratch your head and ask yourself Why, Why, Why? And the answer will be the same: cheaper, cheaper, cheaper.

Hope this helps,

Luis

I disagree. That is why Black Magic Design offers the DisplayPort as one of the professional output from their products, as well is part of any respectable monitor used as reference that do not offer HD-SDI, such as EIZO, high end Dell, HP, and the list continues.

DisplayPort IS a better AV connection than HDMI! It has been capable since it’s inception to carry highest bits in video and audio than the original HDMI. After HD-SDI, is the best AV professional connection.

So, by far, it is a professional audio-visual connection. HDMI now is catching up, but initially was intended for home theatre purposes.

EIZO advertise it as ready for video, offering not just sRGB (computer/web color space), but also Rec709 and DCI color spaces are offered. Rec709 and DCI are only for MOVING IMAGES, DCI is specific for Digital Cinema.

So, clearly is not just a computer monitor. It is a high level monitor used by colorist like me to do their job.

EIZO CG223W. I have tried 23.976 as well as 29.976 with same results.

Your technical evaluation and input will be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,

The EIZO has DVI and DisplayPort only. Even if I use HDMI with adapter, it does not work. I have tried several cables, so the cable is not the culprit.

I am still unsure about the YUV vs. RGB issue pointed out before, but I am still pursuing a definite answer.

Meanwhile, a great devise meant to be used as a reference monitor is not being used for the reason it was built and bought for.
