Eizo ColorEdge CG2730 27" (68cm) 16:9 IPS Hardware Calibration LCD Monitor

Express your boundless creativity with a spacious screen and optimal color reproduction, with the ColorEdge CG2730

The CG2730 spacious 27-inch monitor gives your creative passion the room to flourish in professional photography, design, print, and post production. It features a built-in self calibration sensor for hassle-free monitor maintenance, vivid colors reproduced to industry standards, and exceptionally high contrast for producing true blacks.

Simple and Precise Color Management

Automate your calibration with the sensor that is housed within the front bezel.The sensor swings onto the screen only when calibrating, eliminating the need for a third-party calibration device. It even operates while the monitor is in portrait mode.

To properly manage color in your work, it is necessary to ensure your monitor maintains consistent settings. The bundled ColorNavigator 6 software allows you to easily carry out calibration. Simply select the desired preset or assign values for brightness, white point, and gamma. The built-in sensor directly utilizes the monitor's look-up-table and creates an ICC profile within minutes.

The ColorEdge CG2730 supports ColorNavigator NX quality control (QC) software. It offers asset management of client ColorEdge monitors and covers calibration, built-in sensor correlation, and color mode settings. With ColorNavigator NX, calibration information is saved to the monitor instead of the PC's operating system so you do not have to recalibrate if connecting to more than one PC. The software is most effectively used with EIZO's ColorNavigator Network solution.

ColorNavigator Network provides centralized quality control of ColorEdge monitors that have ColorNavigator NX installed. Administrators can set color modes, schedule self-calibration, register or adjust asset management settings, and other tasks whether the monitors are local or remote. ColorNavigator Networkis hosted on a secure cloud server to free you from the initial investment and running costs of providing your own server.

Features for Creative Work

The spacious 27-inch screen of the ColorEdge CG2730 has a native resolution of 2560 x 1440, which offers a pixel count of double that of 1280 x 1024 and 60% more than 1920 x 1200 resolutions. This gives creatives ample space to work withimages, tool palettes, and other windows.

The ColorEdge CG2730 reproduces almost the entire Adobe RGB color space so images shot in Adobe RGB will be displayed correctly. Photos of vibrant blue skies and lush green forests are reproduced faithfully in a way that monitors limited to an sRGB color space cannot display. The wide color gamut also ensuresreproduction of almost the entire ISO-coated and US web-coated CMYK color spacesused in printing. The ColorEdge CG2730 also reproduces 98% of the DCI-P3 color space used in post production.

Using the DisplayPort or HDMI inputs, the ColorEdge CG2730 offers 10-bit simultaneous display* from a 16-bit look-up-table (LUT) which means it can show more than one billion colors simultaneously. This is 64 times more colors than you get with 8-bit display, resulting in smooth color gradations and reduced Delta-E between two adjacent colors.(A graphics board and software which support 10-bit output are also necessary for 10-bit display. Equipment that supports Deep Color is necessary with the HDMI inputs.)

The gamma level for each ColorEdge monitor is adjusted at the factory by measuring the R, G, and B gamma values from 0 - 255, then using the monitor's 16-bit look-up-table (LUT) to select the 256 most appropriate tones and achieve the desired value. This ensures the smoothest color gradations in your images.

A typical monitor takes 30 minutes or more for its brightness, chromaticity, and tone characteristics to stabilize. The ColorEdge CG2730 takes a mere 3 minutes. Whether you are working in a studio or taking the monitor with you on location, you get reliable color display soon after turning the monitor on.

Fluctuations in brightness and chromaticity on different parts of the screen area common trait of LCD monitors. To counteract this, the ColorEdge CG2730 is equipped with EIZO's patented digital uniformity equalizer (DUE) technology to ensure a Delta-E difference of 3 or less across the screen. DUE also counterbalances the influences that a fluctuating temperature may have on color temperature and brightness for stable image display.

The 178 Degree wide viewing angles afforded by the IPS panel technology allow two or more people to view the screen at once with little change in color or contrast.

In compliance with the DCI standard, the ColorEdge CG2420 offers a high contrast ratio of 1500:1* for producing true blacks that are otherwise difficult to display on a typical LCD monitor. When viewing the screen from an angle in a dimly lit room, dark tones typically appear washed out due to the display characteristics of LCD backlights. The CG Series is equipped with a retardation film which allows tones to retain their depth even when viewed from an angle.

The ColorEdge CG2730 features a sleek new cabinet design so you can focus more on the screen. The bottom bezel is approximately 46% slimmer and monitor depth is approximately 30% thinner compared to the previous model.

The flat design uses electrostatic switches on the front bezel in place of traditional buttons for seamless access to monitor settings.

A carrying handle on the back of the monitor allows you to easily move it from one location to another. The monitor is also 30% lighter than its predecessor, weighing just 8.9 kg, making it even easier to carry.

The monitor is equipped with three easy-to-access USB 3.0 ports, including one port for battery charging devices such as a smartphone.

The monitor is equipped with an IPS non-glare panel for high visibility. It alsouses dimming technology to minimize flicker and help prevent eye fatigue for a more comfortable working environment.

The HDMI input of the ColorEdge CG2730 supports I/P (interlace/progressive) conversion for converting the interlace signals from TV and video into progressive signals for flicker-free display.

The CG Series comes bundled with a shading hood that effectively prevents glare on the monitor's screen caused by ambient lighting. The ColorEdge CG2730's shading hood is newly designed and attaches to the monitor magnetically. This allows the users to attach the hood quickly and easily without needing to connect separate parts.

Adjust the screen to the most comfortable angle and reposition it to show your work to a colleague or client. The monitor comes with a versatile stand that offers height, tilt, and swivel adjustments as well as portrait display. The stand is also equipped with a quick release that allows you to easily remove thescreen from the stand with one touch.

DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI-D inputs are included and support various types of graphics boards. The HDMI input also offers direct connection with digital cameras. Two USB upstream ports allow two computers to be connected at once so it is not necessary to reconnect the USB cable when using the ColorNavigator 6 software and switching between computers.

ColorEdge monitors are backed by a manufacturer's 5-year warranty that covers all components including the LCD panel. EIZO manufactures its products at its own factories to allow close control over production quality and ensure each monitor is built to last. (Usage time is limited to 30,000 hours.)

EIZO guarantees its ColorEdge monitors will be free from bright sub-pixels for six months from the date of purchase.(See the Bright Pixel Policy for details.) The brightness and color of the ColorEdge CG2730's warranted for up to 10,000 hours from the date of purchase.(Monitor must be used within the recommended brightness of 120 cd/m2 or less and the color temperature between 5000 - 6500 K.)

The ColorEdge CG2730 has obtained TUV Rheinland's Color Accuracy (Quick Stability grade) certification. Color Accuracy is the first quality and performance criterion to measure the color accuracy of display devices for multiple graphics fields such as photography, post production, design, and printing.
