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 and CX series
maintain a high contrast ratio even from an angle which allows
the dark tones to retain their depth. Also, you can prioritize
a high brightness and contrast ratio over screen brightness
uniformity by pressing a button on the front of the monitor.
In 2013, EIZO and
Magnum Photos announced
a global collaboration with
the establishment of an
ambassador program. 15
photographers and digital
directors at Magnum’s
offices in the USA and
Europe have integrated
EIZO’s ColorEdge
monitors into their color management workflow. These
ambassadors are using the monitors for the production
of contemporary photos, the restoration of historical
Magnum imagery, and to provide objective feedback
about their experiences to EIZO.
During the development of the ColorEdge CG277,
Magnum photographer Carl De Keyzer tested the monitor
and commented, “The calibration system is astonishing
– for the first time I can calibrate my screen without
professional help. The colors are entirely in line with what
comes out of my large printers, so no guessing anymore,
just true WYSIWYG.”
EIZO and Magnum are also cooperating on creating
individual profiles of the ambassadors with insights into
their careers, bodies of work, and experiences with EIZO
monitors. To see these profiles, please visit:

ColorEdge monitors are backed by a manufacturer’s
5-year warranty that covers all components including the
LCD panel. EIZO can do this because it manufacturers its
products at its own factories. This allows EIZO to keep
close control over production quality and ensure that its
monitors are built to last for 5 years.
The brightness and color of the CG series is warranted for up
to 10,000 hours from the date of purchase.
Monitors must be used within the recommended
brightness of 120 cd/m
2
or less and the color temperature
between 5000 – 6500 K.
All models come with an energy-saving LED backlight
that contains no mercury for minimal environmental
impact when eventually disposed of.
When a ColorEdge monitor is turned off via the power
button on its front bezel it consumes no electricity.
EIZO is a contributing member of
the International Color Consortium
(ICC). The purpose of the ICC is to
promote the use and adoption of
open, vendor-neutral, cross-platform
color management systems.
Film is usually shot at 24 frames/second and looks unnatural
when played back on a typical monitor that displays 60
frames/second. The CG series supports a video signal display
rate of 24 frames/second so you can edit the film as it was
meant to be viewed.
A 3D LUT is included with the CG series which adjusts
colors individually on an RGB cubic table. With the bundled
ColorNavigator software’s emulation function, the 3D LUT
applies a film look to the image so creators can check how it
will be seen by their audience. The 3D LUT also improves the
monitor's additive color mixture
(combination of RGB), which is a
key factor in its ability to display
neutral gray tones.
The ColorEdge CG277 accepts 4K × 2K resolutions of 4096
× 2160 and 3840 × 2160 at up to 30 frames/second via the
DisplayPort input then downscales them to its native resolution
of 2560 × 1440. This added functionality makes the ColorEdge
CG277 a practical choice for editing when working with
the increasingly popular 4K × 2K resolutions used in digital
television and digital cinematography.
For dimly lit work environments like post production studios,
the CG series comes with backlit control buttons and an on-
screen button guide to indicate what each button is for.
A button on CG series monitors provides quick access to
several broadcast-standard color modes reset color modes:
Rec. 709, EBU, SMPTE-C, and DCI. 4K models also include a
preset mode for Rec. 2020.
A safe area marker included with the CG series designates the
area of the screen that will be displayed when the monitor is
connected to a particular
device. This allows you to
check that subtitles and other
text will be visible. This color
of the marker is changeable to
ensure it remains easily visible
with any imagery.
All ColorEdge models give studio professionals the advantage
of using the monitor's entire 10-bit grayscale range to see more
detail when doing fine editing work in very dark and very light
tones. Setting the screen to show the entire 10-bit grayscale
range reveals either 6% or 14% more gray tones from 0 (true
black) to 1023 (true white) compared to common broadcast
signal display range capabilities.
