Title: EIZO 240w
Post by: TimBrown on December 12, 2006, 04:10:14 pm

Someone said the  EIZO 240W hardware calibration does not work with Intel MACs.  (See below, "NEC v EIZO).  I'm thinking of buying this monitor and using it both with an Intel MAC (running OS 10) and with a PC (It has two inputs).  Could someone tell me if this is true, and what it means if it is?

Hi Tim

The EIZO colornavigator works just fine on Intel Macs. When the Intel Macs came out I beta tested for EIZO, and it runs just fine by Rosetta, så no need to worry. :-)

i posted that the hardware calibration does not work, because that is my experience and that is what eizo tech support told me...when i asked them if it would work under rosetta they said it would not...i am still VERY happy with the screen..the profile with the eyeone2 are great...but of course i would be more then happy to try the HW calibration...how do i do it in rosetta?

Hi

I know EIZO techsupport says it doen't work on the Intel Macs, since it is not officially tested and the software is not Universal, but it works. I have tested it myself and have run several presentation of the calibration process using the Colornavigator and a MacBook Pro.

You don't do anything to run it in Rosetta. OS X does it for you. If it is not a universal coded program but for Power PC OS X runs it by Rosetta, which is just a software emulation of a PowerPC processor. Takes a little juice out of the system, but works flawlessly.

Nice to hear it worked out for you. Sorry for not mentioning the ColornavigatorCE software, my mistake.

I took a look at your website as well, nice looking studio and portfolio.
