Hassle-free maintenance and optimal colour reproduction for professionals to express their vision

For professionals, the ColourEdge CG2420 stands for absolute precision and reliability. Whether your subjects are people, landscapes, wildlife, or something else, ColourEdge faithfully reproduces every tone, and detail with exceptional accuracy.

1. Colour Management

Built-In Sensor to Automate Your Workflow

Automate your calibration with the sensor that is housed within the front bezel. The sensor swings onto the screen only when calibrating, eliminating the need for a third-party calibration device. It even operates while the monitor is in portrait mode.

ColourNavigator 7 Colour Management Software

ColourNavigator 7 is the latest calibration and quality control software for ColourEdge colour management monitors. It combines all the features of EIZO’s previous colour management software, ColourNavigator 6 and ColourNavigator NX, to create a new and improved solution for creatives in a range of fields. The proprietary software makes calibration simple and produces predictable results for photography, design, print, and video creation.

ColourNavigator Network Quality Control Software

ColourNavigator Network provides centralized quality control of ColourEdge monitors that have ColourNavigator 7 or NetAgent installed. Administrators can set colour modes, schedule self-calibration, register or adjust asset management settings, and other tasks whether the monitors are local or remote. ColourNavigator Network is hosted on a secure cloud server to free you from the initial investment and running costs of providing your own server.

Colour Simulation Software

EIZO’s UniColour Pro software simulates colour blindness when used with select EIZO LCD monitors. It allows designers to see how their printed materials, signs, web contents, videos, etc. will appear to those with colour blindness.

Vivid Colours Reproduced to Industry Standards

The wide colour gamut of the ColourEdge CG2420 reproduces almost the entire Adobe RGB colour space so images shot in Adobe RGB will be displayed correctly. Photos of vibrant blue skies and lush green forests are reproduced faithfully in a way that monitors limited to an sRGB colour space cannot display. The wide colour gamut also ensures reproduction of almost the entire ISO-coated and US web-coated CMYK colour spaces used in printing.

10-bit Simultaneous Display

Using the DisplayPort or HDMI inputs, the ColourEdge CG2420 offers 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 8-bit display, resulting in smooth colour gradations and reduced Delta-E between two adjacent colours.

*A graphics board and software which support 10-bit output are also necessary for 10-bit display. Equipment that supports DeepColour is required for 10-bit display when connected via HDMI.

Adjusted at the Factory for Smooth Colour Gradations

The gamma level for each ColourEdge monitor is adjusted at the factory by measuring the R, G, and B gamma values from 0 – 255, then using the monitor’s 16-bit look-up-table (LUT) to select the most appropriate tones and achieve the desired value. This ensures the smoothest colour gradations in your images.

Stable Display Technology for Unrivaled ColourEdge Quality

The colour and brightness of an LCD monitor can shift due to changes in ambient temperature and the temperature of the monitor itself. ColourEdge monitors are equipped with a temperature sensor for accurately measuring the temperature inside the monitor, as well as estimating the temperature of the surrounding environment. With this temperature sensing and estimation technology, the monitor adjusts in real-time so gradations, colour, brightness, and other characteristics continue to be displayed accurately.

Stable Colour in Just 3 Minutes

A typical monitor takes 30 minutes or more for its brightness, chromaticity, and tone characteristics to stabilize. The ColourEdge CG2420 takes a mere 3 minutes. Whether you are working in a studio or taking the monitor with you on location, you get reliable colour display soon after turning the monitor on.

Uniformity Across the Screen

LCD monitors commonly exhibit fluctuations in brightness and chromaticity across the screen, affecting colour accuracy. To counter this, ColourEdge monitors are equipped with EIZO’s patented digital uniformity equalizer (DUE) technology which corrects deviations in every tone across the screen to ensure stable display.

Wide Viewing Angles with IPS Panel

The 178° wide viewing angles afforded by the IPS panel technology allow two or more people to view the screen at once with little change in colour or contrast.

2. Post Production

True Black Display

In compliance with the DCI standard, the ColourEdge CG2420 offers a high contrast ratio of 1500:1* for producing true blacks that are otherwise difficult to display on a typical LCD monitor. 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 Series is equipped with a retardation film which allows tones to retain their depth even when viewed from an angle.*Typical value when DUE Priority is set to “Brightness”.

3. Image Display

Slimmer Bezels

The slim cabinet features unobtrusive frames that are 39% slimmer than its predecessor’s so you can focus more on the screen.

Seamless Electrostatic Switches

The flat design uses electrostatic switches on the front bezel in place of traditional buttons for seamless access to monitor settings.

Built-in Carrying Handle

A carrying handle on the back of the monitor allows you to easily move it from one location to another.

Easy-Access USB Ports

The monitor is equipped with three easy-to-access USB 3.0 ports, including one port for battery charging devices such as a smartphone.

4. Ergonomics

Minimized Reflections with Non-Glare Panel

The monitor is equipped with an IPS non-glare panel for high visibility. It also uses dimming technology to minimize flicker and help prevent eye fatigue for a more comfortable working environment.

I/P Conversion for Flicker-Free Display

The HDMI input of the ColourEdge CG2420 supports I/P (interlace/progressive) conversion for converting the interlace signals from TV and video into progressive signals for flicker-free display.

Light-Shielding Hood

The CG Series comes bundled with a shading hood that effectively prevents glare on the monitor’s screen caused by ambient lighting. The ColourEdge CG2420’s shading hood is newly designed and attaches to the monitor magnetically. This allows the users to attach the hood quickly and easily without needing to connect separate parts.

Ergonomic Stand for Comfort and Convenience

Adjust the screen to the most comfortable angle and reposition it to show your work to a colleague or client. The monitor comes with a versatile stand that offers height, tilt, and swivel adjustments as well as portrait display.

Multiple Inputs

DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI-D inputs are included and support various types of graphics boards. The HDMI input also offers direct connection with digital cameras.

5. Used by the best
