The new design has a bottom bezel about 46 percent slimmer with monitor depth about 30 percent thinner than the previous model. Weight was also reduced by 30 percent and a built-in carrying handle added.
The flat design also uses electrostatic switches on the front bezel in place of traditional buttons to access monitor settings. The switches light up using an LED for viewing in dimly-lit work environments.
Eizo said the ColorEdge CG2730 and CS2730 will ship in November but declined to list any prices. For more information see the news release below.
Eizo Releases Next Generation of 27" Color Management Monitors with Sleek New Design and Ample Space for Creative Work
CYPRESS, Calif. -- Eizo Inc has announced the new ColorEdge CG2730 and CS2730, two 27-inch monitors for professionals and aspiring creatives in varying fields that have a native resolution of 2560x1440.
The ColorEdge CG2730 and CS2730 feature a sleek new cabinet design. The bottom bezel of both monitors is approximately 46 percent slimmer and monitor depth is approximately 30 percent thinner compared to the previous model. The monitors' weight was also reduced by 30 percent to just 8.9 kg, which when combined with the built-in carrying handle makes them easy to move to various locations or within the studio. The flat design uses electrostatic switches on the front bezel in place of traditional buttons for seamless access to monitor settings. The switches light up using an LED for viewing in dimly-lit work environments.
The ColorEdge CG2730 is the professional-level model for use in photography, design, print and post production. It features a built-in self-calibration sensor for hassle-free monitor maintenance that ensures optimal color reproduction and image consistency throughout the creative workflow. The ColorEdge CS2730 includes many of the advanced features of Eizo's ColorEdge lineup while meeting the varying needs and budgets of hobbyists and prosumers that want to create, edit and enjoy photography, illustration and more.
Both the ColorEdge CG2730 and CS2730 feature an IPS (in-plane-switching) panel with a wide gamut that ensures 99 percent Adobe RGB coverage so photos of vibrant blues and lush greens are reproduced faithfully. The ColorEdge CG2730's panel also covers 98 percent of the DCI-P3 color space used in post-production as well as features a high contrast ratio of 1500:11 for producing true blacks. It is also equipped with a retardation film which allows dark tones to retain their depth even when viewed from an angle.
Both monitors are equipped with Eizo's unique digital uniformity equalizer technology that ensures a Delta-E difference of 3 or less across the screen. This provides users with stable image display for color-critical work.
Eizo bundles its proprietary ColorNavigator 6 software with both monitors for users that require a wide variety of calibration functionality. Users can select preset target values for photography, printing and web design or set their own target values for brightness, gamma and white point and generate an ICC profile. Because ColorNavigator 6 is proprietary software, Eizo has ensured it is compatible with a wide range of calibration devices from X-Rite, Datacolor and other manufacturers.
