How accurate are the colors? I'm planning on using this to project photographs, and need the images to look similar to the computer screen

I use this projector to show artworks so for my purpose the colors are true.

It actually has an AHVA screen which is similar to IPS (very wide angles, no color shift at extreme angles). I use IPS screens exclusively on my desktops, but I don't feel this is any worse for normal usage (I don't use it for graphics work so I don't know how accurate the color is).

It will still be multi-coloured, although it will not blink, it will consistantly pulsate random colour, Good luck with youre project!

Not really enough information to respond. Are all of the colors printing correctly? Are the various colors lining up correctly?

It will work exactly for that purpose. However you need to be very careful that there are no shadows or bright spots on the paper when you photograph your subject or it will be difficult to mask out the green without accidentally removing some of your subject. Imaging and 'dark green' shadows or 'light green / white' spots caused by lighting wont actually be 'green' when you try to chromakey the photograph

I'm a wedding photographer full time and this monitor is excellent. I would say the photos come out a bit more vibrant on other screens, but it's nothing that ruins the image. Hope that helps!

it certainly doesnt have the same quality as ones such as Retina Displays or the new galaxies but its damn close. make sure you set the settings on both the monitor and the computer display or else the monitor would continuously try to adjust color because it the settings aren't set right.

I also bought this product for color production and have been pleased with the result. However, I'm not printing photos on specialty paper so I do t k ow how it would perform in that way. Also, I don't have any comparison experience.

I use this monitor for color science research and color graphics work where color accuracy is important. There are several color spaces that you can select for color display. For digital photo editing you'll want to set the monitor menu to the sRGB setting, maximize brightness, and then create a color profile using a calibrator for the most accurate color. (Whether or not you can skip creating a color profile, and simply rely on the monitor's preprogrammed calibration, depends on how critical you are about color.) There is also an AdobeRGB setting in the monitor menu, but don't use that unless you really know what your doing! In "standard" display mode you get an exceptionally wide color gamut for display, much wider than AdobeRGB, but special software is necessary to use that mode properly. To some extent you are paying for the ability to display an extra wide range of colors that you can't actually use because digital cameras and PC/Mac software always assume sRGB color space by default. But if you want a nice bright display, with a very stable and adjustable stand, then the extra expense is worth it. Also, this monitor comes with just about every kind of video cable that is in general use today, a nice feature.

Doubtful, at the price point this monitor is designed for general use. Also, I haven't seen any professional reviews of anyone measuring the accuracy of sRGB and/or Adobe RGB coverage. If you're concerned about color accuracy, this monitor also uses a TN panel not an IPS panel that you'd find in higher-end sudo-professional or higher monitors such as the pro series BenQ monitors or the Dell Ultrasharp series.

If you use Epson printers, ink and paper the results are incredible. Both my printers print with 6 colors. People cannot believe the quality of the pictures.Chuck

The one that is on the wall, it's a very white-ish color. But I suppose it will also depend on lighting and surroundings for your own results. Definitely though, the wall is a more accurate portrayal.

I have used mine as a computer monitor on several occasions. The picture is not as crisp as my regular Dell computer monitors.

I just tried it outside of a dirty window at night and it looked great. I imagine it would look pretty good if it were clean too. You just have to remember to set the projector for rear projection so the image will appear correct from outside.

When you say the colors indoor were off, it sounds like a white balance issue. I assume you weren't using the flash at the time. When you look at the professional reviews for your next camera, see what they say about the white balance accuracy. Also look for a camera that lets you create a "custom white balance". A higher end camera can saves images in 'RAW format' will also let you more easily correct the image later on your computer.

Hello John, the gain on the Projectoscreens is 1.1, & it will look great using Epson LCD Projectors.

This is the deep and meaningful subject of color management. Basically you need to be aware that all devices do their best to produce consistent colors but all of them have slight differences (mostly unavoidable). Color management is a process that attempts to deal with this. Input devices like cameras and scanners are profiled, imaging software can use that profile to convert it to an independant "color space", and then can convert the colors to profiled output devices so the output is as close as possible to the desired colors. The most common devices in use by most photographers are: - Digital camera...often using white balance instead of a profile (your D200 is like that...I use one too) - Monitor...these can be VERY different (just visit your local TV store...all the models will have subtle differences) - Printer...being subtractive rather than additive color these require a lot of conversion and the profiles are different for each paper on each printer and will change when you renew your ink. Most people accept an averaged profile from the paper manufacturer for the specific printer model they are using. For monitor and printer the only true way to assess the profile is a hardware device (spectracolorimeter) that actually outputs test colors and measures the color. These are very affordable for monitors and HIGHLY recommended (I use a Huey, the Spyder is another example). Mine is hooked up all the time and adusts the profile every couple of minutes to allow for the changing color of ambient light. The printer equivelant is expensive so several alternative approaches have emerged...all using test cards/prints of some type. If you want one of the best solutions at the moment look at PrintFIX Pro...the suite comes with the Spyder included. NOTE: They quite literally write books about this stuff...so expect to invest a little effort to get your head around it. It can be confusing at first (and later too actually...but it is worth it if you want consistent color prints).
