UL, TÜV Rheinland and Fogra recognise UD970 for picture quality and printed colour replication
London UK - 15 September, 2014 - Samsung Electronics today announced that its UD970 monitor has received the industry's first certification for UHD picture quality and colour match printing performance. The certification for the 31.5-inch monitor comes from leading international certification organisations, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), TÜV Rheinland and Forgra.
"We are delighted that the UD970 monitor has been recognised by UL, TUV Rheinland and Fogra as a new high for monitor colour accuracy, picture quality and printed color performance," said Kim Seok-gi, Executive Director of Visual Display at Samsung Electronics. "As the UD970 can testify, our innovative monitors lead the industry in providing an unparalleled viewing experience that meets the expectations of even the most discerning professional."
The UD970 passed rigorous testing by UL and TÜV Rheinland to determine the monitor's colour accuracy and image quality. This included an evaluation of the monitor's Adobe RGB colour gamut based on the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) 1931 standard. The monitor achieved 99.5 percent colour accuracy. The UD970's UHD picture quality and true 10-bit colour depth displays more than 1 billion colours, meaning creative professionals can enjoy images with outstanding clarity.
The UD970 also received certification for its ability to reduce colour disparity when printing and improve printed colour accuracy based on the FograCert Softproofing System. The Fogra certification is an international printing standard that certifies how accurately a printer can replicate the colours displayed on the monitor, a vital asset to graphic designers, photographers and other professionals.
Samsung will demonstrate the UD970's picture quality and colour match printing capabilities to an international audience at Photokina 2014, the world's largest international photo and image show. The show is scheduled to take place September 16-21, 2014, in Cologne, Germany.
