The ColorEdge CG301W employs a wide gamut LCD panel that is 100% vs. NTSC and reproduces 97% of the Adobe RGB color space. This wide gamut is essential for soft proofing because Adobe RGB encompasses color spaces used in printing such as ISO-coated and US Web-coated. The native resolution is 2560 × 1600 (16:10 aspect ratio). Dual DVI-D inputs are included for connecting to two PCs. A picture-by-picture function divides the screen into two equal halves, essentially offering two 1200 × 1600 monitors with no center bezel.

Input from two different computers such as a Windows and a Macintosh can be displayed which makes it possible to work on two tasks simultaneously without having to toggle back and forth.
