RGB’s first of a series of bi-monthly events will take place on 11th November.

For the first time in one place creatives will be able to view a wide range of Eizo and NEC monitors side by side, giving you the chance to compare the best high-end 24” & 27” graphic monitors all in one location.

We will also be presenting the new industry standard calibrators from X-RITE and BASICCOLOUR at the event.

We are asking everyone to bring their own images so you can judge what monitor and calibrator is the best one for you.

Representatives from EIZO, NEC and X-Rite, as well as our RGB digital technicians, will be on hand to assist you throughout the day.

Offering very special rates on all of the products on the day we hope to save you money and time as well as raising your expectations of what is achievable from the latest technology available today.

RGB have now added the Hocus Focus to our rentals! The Hocus Focus is a completely wireless remote follow focus system. It allows the user to precisely operate the focus ring on a 35 mm SLR/DSLR or boardcast lens from up to 200 meters away.
