EIZO CG2420 ColorEdge 24"

EIZO CG2420 ColorEdge 24"

Suitable for soft proofing

The EIZO CG2420 complies with strict soft proofing requirements based on the ISO 12646 standard. This was the conclusion reached by the Fogra Forschungsgesellschaft Druck e.V. as part of the monitor test. The CG2420 has therefore been awarded the Fogra seal of approval "FograCert Softproof Monitor".

Outstanding image quality

The monitor impresses with the highest resolution (1920 x 1200), a very good contrast ratio of 1500:1 and a maximum brightness of 400 cd/m²

.

This allows you to edit graphics and images with pixel accuracy, for example. And: the text contours are clear and precise. The LCD module with IPS (Wide Gamut) panel allows a viewing angle of 178 degrees.

The Wide

Gamut

monitor reliably reproduces 98% of the DCI-P3 standard used in digital cinema and also supports the Rec. 2020 standard.

addition, the CG2420 covers 99% of the Adobe RGB color space. If images captured in RAW format are converted to Adobe RGB, the monitor displays them with absolute color fidelity. The EIZO monitor also offers great advantages when printing: It covers almost the entire CMYK color space (for example, ISO Coated and U.S. Web Coated). You can see on the screen what the final print result will look like and save on proofs.

True Black

With its high contrast ratio, the CG2420 displays deep blacks, which often appear pale or washed out on a typical LCD monitor due to the backlighting. This is particularly true when viewing the monitor from the side in dimly lit rooms. The CG series is equipped with a retardation film that enables this depth of black tones even at wide viewing angles.

Integrated sensor for self-calibration

integrated sensor allows you to achieve maximum color accuracy. It is perfectly matched to the monitor, takes into account environmental influences such as light and correlates the center and edges of the image. This ensures a uniform result across the entire monitor. The sensor is located in the housing frame and only extends for measurement. A separate calibration device is therefore superfluous and your calibration effort is extremely reduced

You simply specify the time of calibration via the ColorNavigator software or the OnScreen menu and the monitor calibrates itself automatically. This means you can have the calibration carried out during your lunch break or overnight.

Smooth transitions and gradients thanks to 16-bit LUT and 10-bit mode

The LUT (look-up table) of the CG2420 calculates internally with an extremely high colour depth of 16 bits and the panel then outputs the signals with up to 10 bits

.

This means that billions of color tones are available for calculating the precise monitor display. This effectively prevents display errors caused by the monitor, such as banding or clipping, which result in tonal breaks in gradients or color casts in the greyscale. Even fine nuances and structures in dark or heavily saturated areas of the image are displayed in a differentiated and detailed

Perfect ex works

To ensure that a ColorEdge is ready for use straight out of the box, every single ColorEdge CG2420 is individually measured and optimally adjusted at the factory. For this purpose, the gamma curves of the red, green and blue channels are closely checked and, if necessary, corrected. This unique EIZO factory calibration allows the user to use the monitor with the preset color spaces right out of the box. This elaborate factory calibration is also the reason why recalibration with the ColorNavigator by the user is so fast.

Digital Uniformity Equalizer

Each individual monitor panel is precisely measured over the entire surface in the EIZO factory. Any inhomogeneities in brightness and color casts are detected and removed. This process (Digital Uniformity Equalizer) guarantees that identical colors always look the same over the entire service life of the monitor, regardless of where they are displayed. This is the only way to ensure precise image editing and retouching.

Calibration report

Each ColorEdge CG2420 comes with an individual calibration report that shows the measurement results of the monitor's factory calibration. The report documents the monitor's homogeneity, gamma curve, colour space coverage and white point.

Stable colour reproduction in just seven minutes

With a conventional monitor, it takes at least 30 minutes for brightness, chromaticity and tonal values to stabilize. The ColorEdge CG2420, on the other hand, only needs seven minutes, so that users can be confident of reliable colors shortly after switching on the monitor.

EIZO Microchip

The CG2420 has a high-quality microchip (ASIC, Application-Specific Integrated Circuit), which EIZO has developed especially for the special requirements of color-accurate work. This microchip is the brain of every ColorEdge and the guarantee for the precise, uniform and constant image display for which EIZO is known

Ideal for video and film production: HDMI

films are normally recorded at 24 fps. They therefore appear unnatural when played back at 60 hz, which is standard for monitors. The monitor supports a frame rate of 24 and 60 Hz. You can view and edit your film material as it was recorded.

HDMI signals are supported with refresh rates of 60, 50, 30, 25 and 24 Hz. The monitor also features I/P conversion

One monitor, many connections

It couldn't be simpler: you can connect most of your end devices such as PCs, laptops or cameras directly to the monitor. This is because the monitor has various interfaces.

Flicker-free working

The monitor is flicker-free at any brightness setting

.

advantage: your eyes don't tire so quickly and you can work on the screen for longer without strain.

Anti-glare: more image, less reflection

The CG2420 offers an optimally anti-glare surface. By minimizing reflections through the scattering of reflected light, the CG2420 effectively prevents glare and eyestrain. Eye fatigue is reduced and you can sit comfortably in front of the monitor without being forced into a position to avoid glare.

Light protection hood

The light protection hood reduces reflections and brightness on the screen and protects your eyes

easy to put on and reduces the incidence of light from above and the sides
