Datasheet
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 CG246
and CX240 maintain a high contrast ratio even from an angle which allows the dark
tones to retain their depth.
Excellent Tone Display in the Dark
A sensor measures the ambient brightness and adjusts the
screen's brightness so it is never too bright or too dark.
Ambient Brightness Sensor
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.
5-Year Warranty
For the CG series, the RGB full pixel failure is zero for up to
12 months after date of purchase based on ISO 9241-307
(pixel failure class I).
Pixel Defect Warranty up to 12 Months
The CG246, CX240, and CS230 come with an LED
backlight that contains no mercury for minimal environmen-
tal impact when eventually disposed of.
Mercury-Free LED Backlight
When a ColorEdge monitor is turned off via the power
button on its front bezel it consumes no electricity.
Zero Watts When Turned Off
A preset called Paper mode simulates the look of printed
paper and helps prevent eyestrain when reading documents.
The Look of Paper
In addition to Paper, several preset modes are included with
ideal settings for your creative and other computing tasks.
You can switch between modes manually by pushing a
button or automatically with the Auto FineContrast
function*.
*Auto FineContrast is included with the ScreenManager Pro for LCD
software and available for free on www.eizo.com. Compatible with
Windows OS only.
Adobe RGB mode not available with CS230.
Preset Modes for Optimum Viewing
For dark environments such as a video editing studio, you can prioritize a high
contrast ratio brightness over screen brightness uniformity by pressing a button on the
front of the monitor.
Prioritize Contrast Ratio
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.
1080/24p Playback
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.
Range Extension
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.
LED Buttons and On-Screen Button Guide
A button on CG series monitors provides quick access to several broadcast-standard
color modes: Rec. 709, EBU, SMPTE-C, and DCI. In addition, sRGB and Adobe RGB
modes are also available with the CX series.
Preset Color Modes
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.
Safe Area Marker
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.
