The EIZO ColorEdge CG2700X 27 Inch 4K HDR Monitor offers exceptional levels of detail, thanks to its 3840 x 2160 resolution and 500 nits of brightness. Furthermore, it comes with HDR gamma support, ensuring accurate colour reproduction. With USB-C connectivity, professional creators in video editing, game development, photography, and more can quickly and seamlessly connect their devices for a streamlined workflow.
EIZO designed the ColorEdge CG2700X with In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology, 10-bit support for 1.07 billion colours, a 16-bit LUT, a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, a static contrast ratio of 1450:1, 500 nits brightness, 164 pixels per inch, and a 13 ms (GtG) response time. Using the 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles, it is possible to watch content from virtually any position. This display has one HDMI input and one DisplayPort input, plus a USB-C port that supports DP alt mode, data transfers of up to 5 Gb/s using the USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard, and up to 94W of power for device charging. Additional USB ports include one USB-B 3.2 Gen 1 input, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 outputs, and two USB-A 2.0 outputs. Additionally, there is an RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port that provides network access when the CG2700X is connected to your host system via USB-C.
The ColorEdge CG2700X displays at 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution, which is four times the size of Full HD. This level of detail ensures that high resolution content is displayed crisply. The 27" screen provides ample space for displaying 4K content natively or Full HD content in full with enough space to show toolbars, palettes, and other windows or applications. This makes the monitor versatile for video editing, 3DCG creation, game development, photography, and other creative fields.
The ColorEdge CG2700X features USB-C connectivity that allows you to display video, transmit USB signals, and supply power to a connected device, such as a tablet or notebook computer. This convenient multi-purpose connectivity makes it faster and easier to connect when moving between workstations or working remotely.
The ColorEdge CG2700X reliably charges a MacBook Pro or other high-end laptops with 94W power delivery. This eliminates the need for a laptop's bulky power supply unit, freeing up space in your bag and on the desk.
While many modern laptops are not equipped with a dedicated LAN port, the monitor has one directly built-in for a stable wired connection. Connecting a laptop via USB-C provides access to the network through the monitor for sharing creative assets and files, carrying out post-production work remotely, and enables network-based colour management via ColorNavigator Network.
The ColorEdge CG2700X's built-in sensor can be set to calibrate the monitor automatically at designated times. This eliminates the need for a third-party calibration device and ensures your screen stays colour accurate. In addition, the sensor swings onto the screen, taking up minimal space and allowing you to continue working even during calibration.
A monitor needs to be calibrated at regular intervals to maintain color accuracy. EIZO's proprietary ColorNavigator 7 software provides an intuitive and highly precise solution to color management. It allows you to schedule automatic recalibration, calibrate all color modes simultaneously, and conduct correlation with external sensors to match the studio's internal color management framework. Calibration information is saved to the monitor instead of the operating system, so users do not have to recalibrate even when using a different PC.
ColorNavigator Network provides centralized quality control (QC) of ColorEdge monitors for studios, printing houses, and other enterprises with multiple creators and editors who work on shared projects. With NetAgent or ColorNavigator 7 installed on the workstation, administrators can manage multiple ColorEdge monitors via web browser enabling quality control even from remote locations. ColorNavigator Network is hosted on a secure cloud server to free you from the initial investment and running costs of providing your own server.
The monitor's wide color gamut faithfully reproduces 98% of the DCI-P3 standard used in digital cinema and supports the BT.2020 standard used in broadcasting. In addition, it covers 99% of the Adobe RGB colour space so images shot in Adobe RGB will be displayed correctly. It also covers almost the entire ISO-coated and US web-coated CMYK colour spaces used in printing.
The monitor uses a 3D LUT which adjusts colours individually on an RGB cubic table. With the supported ColorNavigator 7 software's emulation function, creators can check how content will appear to their audience. The 3D LUT also improves the monitor's additive colour mixture (combination of RGB), which is a key factor in its ability to display neutral grey tones.
Using the DisplayPort or HDMI input, the ColorEdge monitor offers a 10-bit simultaneous display from a 16-bit look-up-table (LUT), which means it can show more than one billion colours simultaneously. This is 64 times more colours than you get with an 8-bit display, resulting in smooth colour gradations and reduced Delta-E between two adjacent colours.
Broadcast and Cinema Presets
Preset modes for DCI-P3, BT.709, and BT.2020 ensure you can work in the appropriate colour spaces and gamma values. In addition, preset modes for PQ (DCI and BT.2100) and HLG (BT.2100) are available for viewing HDR content. With the built-in calibration sensor, you can conveniently adjust or maintain the brightness setting for each preset.
The ColorEdge CG2700X features a high brightness level of 500 nits. It supports HLG (hybrid log-gamma) and the PQ (perceptual quantization) curve for displaying and editing HDR (high dynamic range) video content. The optimized gamma curves render images to appear truer to how the human eye perceives the real world compared to SDR (standard dynamic range). This ensures professional creators can reliably display HDR content for editing and colour grading.
In compliance with the DCI standard, the monitor offers a high contrast ratio of 1450:1 for producing true blacks that are otherwise difficult to display on a typical LCD monitor. CG Series monitors are also equipped with a retardation film which allows tones to retain their depth even when viewed from an angle.
The DCI 4K Cropping function allows the user to display a DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) signal and crop content outside the bounds of the panel's native 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution. Users can select from three options that determine which part of the image is cropped.
