Developed to ensure standard, uni-
form color reproduction regardless
of the type of display used, sRGB
color profile uses color coordinates
common to all display technologies.

COLORVIEW™ NATURAL
COLOR MATRIX
The X490U produces 
vivid colors that precisely 
match their real-life counterparts, 
as well as giving you the ability to
precisely adjust color saturation 
and control color tones.

IRIS®(INTELLIGENT
ROOM ILLUMINATION
SENSOR)
Room illumination can have a 
significant effect on the quality and
accuracy of color reproduction on-
screen. The brighter the room, the
duller the color. The X490U’s built-
in IRIS
®automatically detects light 
volume and color density, automa-
tically adjusting mid-range color
tones as required for optimal color
reproduction under any lighting
conditions.
