CG247 24" LED Self Calibrating
Built for
professionals in printing, photography, and post production, the
ColorEdge CG247 combines a built-in calibration sensor with 99% Adobe
RGB coverage and uniform brightness for outstanding color.
Built-In Sensor for Simplified Maintenance
Built-In SelfCalibration Sensor
Automate your calibration with the
built-in SelfCalibration sensor that is housed within the monitor's
bottom bezel and swings up onto the screen only when calibrating. This
sensor eliminates the need for a third-party calibration device and even
operates in portrait mode.
Using either the OSD menu or the bundled ColorNavigator software,
you can schedule the monitor to self-calibrate at specific times. Even
if the monitor is switched off or not connected to a computer, it will
stick to its preset schedule and self-calibrate.
Correlation with External
Sensors
The monitor can be
correlated to the measurement results of an external calibration
sensor. After correlating, the built-in sensor will
automatically recalibrate to the settings. This is convenient if
the monitor is used in a work environment with other monitors
and one measurement device must be used as a standard for all
calibration. |

What�s New with the ColorEdge CG247
Reproduces 99% of the Adobe RGB Color Space
An
IPS panel with a wide color gamut reproduces 99% of the Adobe RGB color
space so images shot in RAW can be converted to Adobe RGB or images shot
in Adobe RGB will be displayed correctly. The colors seen in photos of
vibrant blue skies and lush green forests will be reproduced faithfully.
The wide color gamut also ensures that the monitor reproduces almost the
entire ISO-coated and US web-coated CMYK color spaces used in printing
as well as 93% of the DCI used in post production.
Features for Creative Work
Uniformity from Corner to Corner
|
Delta-E ab distribution
across the screen (gray level 128 measured) |
Fluctuations in brightness and chromaticity on different parts of the
screen are a common trait of LCD monitors. To counteract this, the
monitor incorporates EIZO�? patented digital uniformity equalizer (DUE)
technology to ensure a Delta-E difference of 3 or less across the screen
when the monitor leaves the factory. DUE also counterbalances the
influences that a fluctuating ambient temperature may have on color
temperature and brightness to ensure stable image display.
Individually Adjusted at the Factory
The
gamma level for each ColorEdge monitor is adjusted at the factory. This
is accomplished 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 256
most appropriate tones to achieve the desired value
Stable Display within Seven Minutes of Startup
From
the time it is turned on it typically takes 30 minutes or longer for a
monitor�s brightness, chromaticity, and tone characteristics to
stabilize. EIZO has shortened this warm-up time by more than 75% to a
mere 7 minutes. For confirming your work in a photo studio or taking
your monitor with you on location, you can get to work right away.
10-Bit Simultaneous Display
Using the DisplayPort input, the monitor offers 10-bit simultaneous
color display* from a 16-bit look-up table which means it can show more
than one billion colors simultaneously. This is 64 times as many colors
as you get with 8-bit display which results in even smoother color
gradations and reduced Delta-E between two adjacent colors.
*A graphics board
and software which support 10-bit output are also necessary for 10-bit
display.
Simple and Precise Calibration with ColorNavigator
The
bundled ColorNavigator software makes calibration both simple and quick.
Just input target values for brightness, white point, and gamma. The
built-in sensor directly utilizes the monitor's look-up table and
creates an ICC profile within minutes. You can always download the
latest version of ColorNavigator for free here on eizo.com.
Predictable Color with Any Media
With content published on so
many different types of printed and digital media it's critical
to know how your clients will see color. A ColorEdge monitor and
the bundled ColorNavigator software let you do just that as they
are designed for both softproofing and digital device emulation.
So now you can "predict" how color will appear to your clients
whether you produce content for printed media like books and
magazines or for digital media devices like tablets, smart
phones, and notebook computers. |

Unify Color, Centralize Quality Control Management
ColorNavigator NX and ColorNavigator Network allow a single
administrator to automate the quality control process of ColorEdge
monitors across an entire studio or between multiple locations.
With
ColorNavigator NX installed on workstations, an administrator can use
ColorNavigator Network software to schedule self-calibration, set the
color modes, activate key lock to prevent unintended changes to color
settings (CG series), register or adjust asset management settings, and
import/export monitor settings.
Worry-Free Web Hosting
ColorNavigator Network is hosted by EIZO on a secure cloud server to
free you from the initial investment and running costs of providing your
own server.
Used by Magnum Photos
Several photographers and digital directors from Magnum Photos use
ColorEdge monitors in their color management workflow for the
restoration of historical Magnum imagery and the production of
contemporary photographs. Read
more about the collaboration between Magnum and EIZO.
Comfort and Convenience
Multiple Inputs
DisplayPort,
HDMI, and DVI-D inputs are included and support resolutions up to 2560 x
1440. The HDMI input also offers direct connection with digital cameras.
Two USB upstream ports allow two computers to be connected at once so
it�s not necessary to reconnect the USB cable when using the
ColorNavigator software and switching between the two computers.
Smooth Display of Video
For
video editing or post production work, an overdrive circuit is included
to reduce gray-to-gray response time to 7.7 ms and ensure that moving
images look clean and sharp with a minimum of ghosting.
Adjustable Stand
Adjust the screen to the most comfortable angle for you 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 mode display.
Shading
Hood for Portrait and Landscape Modes
Most
shading hoods can only be used in landscape mode, but this monitor comes
bundled with a unique hood that is designed for portrait mode as well.
Now you can keep the glare off your screen no matter which mode you work
in
Ideal for Video Editing and Post Production
Excellent Tone Display in the Dark
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 monitor maintains a high contrast ratio even from an
angle which allows the dark tones to retain their depth.
Preset
Color Modes
A
button on the front of the monitor provides quick access to several
broadcast-standard color modes reset color modes: Rec. 709, EBU,
SMPTE-C, and DCI. In addition, sRGB and Adobe RGB modes are also
available.
1080/24p Playback
Film
is usually shot at 24 frames/second and looks unnatural when played back
on a typical monitor that displays 60 frames/second. The HDMI input
supports a video signal display rate of 1080/24p frames-per-second so
you can edit the film as it was meant to be viewed.
3D
LUT for Accurate Color Display
A 3D
LUT is included 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.
LED
Buttons and On-Screen Button Guide
For
dimly lit work environments like post production studios, the monitor
comes with backlit control buttons and an on-screen button guide to
indicate what each button is for.
Safe
Area Marker
A
safe area marker 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 with any imagery.
Commitment to Quality and the Environment
5-Year Warranty
The monitor is 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. |

Pixel Defect Warranty up to 12 Months
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).
Zero
Watts When Turned Off
When
the monitor is turned off via the power button on its front bezel it
consumes no electricity.
