EIZO ColorNavigator 7 vs QUBYX PerfectLum

EIZO ColorNavigator 7 calibrates EIZO ColorEdge monitors and manages their quality control. EIZO positions it for creative work in photography, design, print, and video. Users can set multiple color modes from target values and the monitor’s on-screen menu, calibrate Standard Mode color modes together, and schedule recalibration even while the monitor is switched off. Calibration information is saved on the monitor, allowing users to move between PCs without recalibrating. Print-proofing targets support adjustments to hue and saturation across six primary and secondary colors, as well as grayscale balance. On supported CG Series monitors, the software can create film-emulation data from a video workflow’s 3D LUT; CG2730 and CG2420 are excluded. Built-in ColorEdge CG sensors can be correlated with high-end spectrophotometers. Its API allows third-party applications to change modes, create calibration targets, control SelfCalibration, and retrieve results; it requires version 7.1.12 or later. The free download is for compatible EIZO ColorEdge monitors. Supported systems are macOS 11–14, Windows 10 64-bit and Windows 11, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or 8 64-bit; ARM-based Windows is unsupported.

QUBYX PerfectLum calibrates, verifies and runs quality assurance for medical displays, including DICOM GSDF calibration. It automates acceptance, constancy and routine QA tests with configurable pass/fail thresholds, scheduled daily, weekly, monthly or at custom intervals. Tests produce structured PDF reports with calibration and compliance results, luminance, contrast, ambient data and history. PerfectLum supports LUT calibration, ICC profile export and multi-monitor calibration for up to six displays. It works with QUBYX SmartSensor S1 and S2 and supported third-party measurement devices, and can connect to QUBYX RemoteQA for fleet monitoring, scheduled QA, failure tracking and centralized compliance reporting. Its workflows align with DICOM Part 14 GSDF, AAPM TG-18/TG-270, ACR, DIN 6868-157 and IEC 62563. QUBYX lists installers for Windows 10/11 x64 and macOS 12 or later on Intel and Apple processors. A free trial is available by email download link, with no duration stated. A workstation license costs $480 as a one-time purchase; a package with SmartSensor S2 costs $680, paid once.
