Eizo today announced the launch of a new generation of ColorEdge Series 4K monitors, the 27-inch CG2700X (3840 x 2160). Officially, the flagship model supports HDR workflow and is a ColorEdge monitor with a new body design and Ethernet connectivity via USB Type-C.
The professional monitor supports DCI 4K croppings, allowing users to display DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) signals and crop content outside the panel’s native 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution range. Users can choose from three options to determine which portion of the image is cropped.
In addition, the ColorEdge CG2700X offers the Nearest Neighbor Sampling method setting as an option for image scaling and resampling. When zoomed in, this function copies and aligns pixels to the nearest neighboring position, thus maintaining color fidelity. When this feature is off, the monitor uses an interpolation method to balance the grayscale of surrounding pixels to obtain smooth tones. Editors can easily select the interpolation method that best suits the project through the monitor’s OSD menu to ensure that content looks as expected when upgrading to 4K. Use the 4K zoom feature to zoom in on areas of the screen to confirm small details and check the focus accuracy of images. Use the monitor’s front buttons for quick and easy access.
For HDR, the CG2700X supports HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) and PQ (Perceptual Quantization) curves for displaying and editing HDR (High Dynamic Range) content. Compared to SDR (Standard Dynamic Range), the optimized gamma curve makes images look more realistic and more in line with the human eye’s perception of the real world. This ensures that professional creators can rely on HDR-displayed content for editing and color grading.
In terms of color gamut, the display uses 98% of the DCI-P3 standard and supports the BT.2020 standard used in broadcasting. It also covers 99% of the Adobe RGB color space used in photography and other creative areas.
The ColorEdge CG2700X will be available in China in November 2022 at a price yet to be announced.
