CS2420 ColorEdge

Wide gamut – ideal for RAW images and prints

Those working with RAW or Adobe RGB images should look no further than our wide gamut monitor: the wide colour space reproduces 99% of the Adobe RGB colour spaces. If pictures taken in RAW format are converted to Adobe RGB, the monitor will display them absolutely correctly. For example, you can see a shining blue sky or lush green forests that are true to nature – unlike monitors with sRGB colour space. The EIZO monitor also offers great benefits when printing: It covers almost the entire CMYK colour space (for example ISO Coated and U.S. Web Coated). You can already see on the screen how your subsequent print result will look, saving yourself proofs.

High resolution look-up table

Thanks to the 16-bit look-up-table, the CS2420 offers precise resolution of image signals. Colour nuances and image structure are not lost, particularly in the case of dark hues. This reliable and precise reproduction reduces calibration steps, saving valuable production time.

Constant tone value over the entire screen

Digital Uniformity Equaliser (DUE) controls all tone values over the entire monitor, pixel by pixel. The effect: colour tones appear identical at each point on the screen, without the brightness fluctuations you experience in conventional LCDs. The DUE function also balances out the effects of fluctuations in ambient temperature on the colour temperature and brightness. You will enjoy consistently even luminance distribution and perfect colour purity. A real plus when touching-up images.

10 bit colour depth: a billion colors in the finest grades

Thanks to the 10 bit colour display based on a 16 bit LUT, you can utilize a huge colour spectrum. This is made possible by the rapid DisplayPort and HDMI connections in combination with the frame rate control. A billion colors at your fingertips simultaneously. That is 64 times more colors than with an 8 bit display. The colour gradations are finer and the colour differences between adjacent colors are smaller. The enhanced greyscale range is equally important for post-production. With the 10 bit greyscale range activated, between 6% and 14% more grayscales are visible.

Flicker-free working

The monitor is flicker-free at every brightness setting. The benefit: Your eyes do not get tired as quickly. You can work on the screen for an extended period.

Hardware calibration with EIZO ColorNavigator

Precise image editing is only possible on monitors that are calibrated on a regular basis. The standard software calibration process is time-consuming and often results in reduced display quality. The CS2420 is calibrated using the ColorNavigator hardware calibration software, which can be downloaded for free. 

Using ColorNavigator, you can carry out loss-free calibration quickly and in just a few steps. Advanced users can enter target values for white balance, brightness and hue curve (gamma/EOTF) as well as other calibration settings. The calibration is then carried out automatically based on the factory settings, making the calibration process unique in its speed and precision.
