EIZO Introduces New Generation of ColorEdge Monitors with Two Post-Production Flagships

EIZO Corporation announced the first in a new generation of ColorEdge monitors – the 27-inch CG2700X (3840 x 2160) and CG2700S (2560 x 1440). These flagship models support HDR workflow and are the first ColorEdge monitors to feature a brand-new cabinet design and built-in network connection via USB Type-C connection.

The two new ColorEdge monitors differ primarily in resolution. The panel of the CG2700S has the popular WQHD resolution with 2560 x 1440 pixels, whereas the panel of the CG2700X offersa 4K UHD resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. Both monitors guarantee a very sharp image impression (109 ppi or even 164 ppi) and enable a perfect view of the imaged file. The remarkable detail ensures that high resolution content is displayed crisply, while the 27-inch screen provides ample space for displaying editing windows, toolbars, palettes, or other apps. This makes the monitor versatile for video editing, 3DCG creation, game development, photography, and other creative fields.

Both monitors are equipped with EIZO’s award-winning built-in sensor technology and ColorNavigator 7 colour management software. This allows you to calibrate the monitor automatically at designated times, ensuring the screen stays accurate over time and no need for a third-party calibration device.

The monitors also support HLG (hybrid log-gamma) and the PQ (perceptual quantization) curves for displaying and editing HDR content. Now your images will appear truer to how the human eye perceives the real world compared to SDR, ensuring reliable HDR content display for editing and colour grading.

The new USB Type-C connectivity lets Creators display video, transmit USB signals, and even supply power to a connected device, such as a tablet, MacBook Pro, or other high-end PC notebooks. This convenient multi-purpose connectivity makes it faster and easier to connect when moving between creative workstations or when working in a remote or home studio. Furthermore, the monitors have a LAN port directly built in for providing a stable network connection.

The ColorEdge CG2700X and CG2700S include Sync Signal. This function automatically adjusts the monitor’s settings, such as input range and input colour format, according to the video signal to ensure colour settings stay consistent throughout production.

The backside of the ColorEdge CG2700X and CG2700S incorporates a new punched metal design that allows for more airflow, keeping the monitor cool without a noisy fan.

Additional features:

  1. Colour space coverage 99 % Adobe-RGB and %DCI-P3 98
  2. Smooth gradients through 10-bit simultaneous representation from a 16-bit LUT
  3. Precise homogeneity through patented Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE) technology
  4. Nearest-neighbour interpolation function for video upscaling (CG2700X)
  5. DCI 4K cropping option for displaying DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) content (CG2700X)
  6. Ergonomic stand with height adjustment (155 mm), tilt adjustment (35° up, 5° down), rotation (344°) and rotation (90°)

Flanders Scientific Introduces the AM211 and BM211

The two monitors are a simple, but meaningful, update to the FSI product line, and direct replacements for the AM210 and BM210 respectively with one key distinction from the older units, an all-new backlight providing two significant measurable performance improvements:
Maximum colour gamut is now 96% of P3 compared to Rec709 maximum of previous models.
Better black levels thanks to a 30%+ increase in contrast ratio.

Additionally, the new backlight uses a very similar LED element that is found in their higher-end DM170, DM240, and XM310K monitors further bridging the gap between entry level and top of the line solutions.

At the same price as the older units, the AM211’s and BM211’s wide colour gamut, higher contrast, and new backlight technology will be a welcome addition to facilities and productions that want to mix in more affordable monitoring options while preserving a great deal of visual consistency with their hero monitors.

From Editorial to Video Village – Colour Accuracy on a Budget


AM211

The AM211 is an affordable and accurate professional broadcast monitor. Large enough to be used in an edit suite yet lightweight, durable, and compact enough to work exceptionally well as a field monitor.

The Tools You Need and An Image You Can Rely On


BM211

The BM211 is a lightweight, power-efficient, and colour accurate professional display with an extended feature set geared towards production, editorial, and broadcast. The BM211 builds on the AM211’s capabilities with additional hardware that supports popular features like live side-by-side viewing for two signals, look LUT support, dual-link SDI compatibility, our advanced Video Data Analyzer, HDR Preview modes, and much more.

Additionally, FSI has brought tetrahedral LUT interpolation to the BM211 to maximize the performance of both calibration and look LUTs. Moving from trilinear to tetrahedral LUT interpolation further ensure consistency with FSI’s higher-end DM and XM series monitors, which all use tetrahedral LUT interpolation.
