EIZO ColorEdge CG2400S: 24" Graphics Monitor

Overview

The EIZO ColorEdge CG2400S is a 24-inch graphics monitor designed for professional creatives. It features a wide color gamut, an enormous 1800:1 contrast ratio, state-of-the-art USB-C connectivity, and pre-installed HDR presets. The monitor utilizes a Wide Gamut IPS panel with 10-bit color depth and a 16-bit 3D Look-Up-Table (LUT) for exceptional precision, smooth color transitions, and nuanced detail. It covers 99% of the Adobe RGB color space and 98% of the DCI-P3 color space. With presets for HLG and PQ gamma curves, it integrates seamlessly into HDR production workflows. An integrated calibration sensor allows for effortless, automatic calibration. The universal USB-C connectivity transmits image signals and provides power to the monitor's USB hub, capable of delivering up to 70 watts of charging current to mobile devices. This makes the CG2400S a central docking station for creative workflows. It also includes HDMI and DisplayPort connections. A supplied light protection screen enhances its feature set.

Precision and Color Accuracy

High-contrast, Bright, and Crisp Screen

The monitor offers an impressive resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, a contrast ratio of 1800:1, and a brightness of 400 cd/m². This allows for pixel-level editing of graphics and images, with clear and precise text contours. The IPS (Wide Gamut) panel provides a viewing angle of 178 degrees, ensuring stable hue and contrast for all viewers.

True Black

The high contrast ratio enables the display of deep blacks, avoiding the pale or washed-out appearance common on typical LCD monitors. A retardation film is incorporated to achieve this depth of black, even at wide viewing angles.

Wide Gamut Color Space

To accurately represent the full color spectrum of modern cameras, the monitor features a large color space. The IPS panel covers over 99% of the Adobe RGB photo gamut and the CMYK print gamut ISO-Coated V2, ensuring unaltered and gapless representation of saturated hues.

Smooth Transitions and Gradients

16-bit LUT and 10-bit Mode

The 3D LUT (look-up-table) performs internal calculations with 16 bits, providing an extremely high color depth and outputting signals with up to 10 bits. This results in billions of hues, preventing display errors like banding or clipping and allowing for differentiated display of fine nuances in dark or highly saturated areas.

Description of the images on page 3 comparing color gradients: "10 bit (LUT: 16 bit)" shows a smooth gradient, "8 bit (LUT: 16 bit)" shows a slightly smoother gradient than "8 bit (LUT: 8 bit)", illustrating the benefit of higher bit depth.

Homogeneous Image Display

Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE)

Each monitor panel is precisely measured at the EIZO factory. The Digital Uniformity Equalizer process detects and corrects any inhomogeneities in brightness and color, guaranteeing that identical colors appear consistent across the entire screen. This is crucial for precise image processing and retouching.

Description of the images on page 3 comparing monitor display with and without DUE. The "With DUE" image shows uniform brightness and color, while "Without DUE" might show slight variations.

Effortless Color Management

Integrated Sensor for Self-Calibration

An integrated calibration sensor ensures maximum color accuracy. It is precisely aligned to the monitor and accounts for environmental influences like light. Located in the bezel, it extends only when performing measurements, eliminating the need for external calibration devices. Calibration can be scheduled automatically via the ColorNavigator software or the on-screen menu, even without a PC connection.

Industry-Leading AI

Stable Display

A built-in temperature sensor and an AI-assisted correction algorithm ensure stable display of gradations, color, and brightness, even when ambient temperature changes. The algorithm distinguishes between temperature change patterns and applies precise real-time adjustments. (*Patent pending)

Fast Color Stability

The ColorEdge CG2400S achieves color stability in just three minutes, significantly faster than the typical 30 minutes required by traditional monitors. This allows users to reliably trust the monitor's colors shortly after powering it on.

ColorNavigator Software

EIZO Software for Fast Calibration and Printing

The CG2400S includes ColorNavigator hardware calibration software, enabling quick, easy, and precise calibration. The software directly accesses and saves to the monitor's look-up-table, allowing users to define white balance, gamma, brightness, and tone value curves. Calibration runs automatically and independently of the computer and graphics board. The free Quick Color Match software helps users preview how their images will appear when printed on inkjet printers, optimizing them before printing to avoid misprints.

Ready to Use Right Out of the Box

Perfect Settings from the Factory

Every ColorEdge CG2400S undergoes individual measurement and optimal configuration at the factory. This ensures it's ready for immediate use upon unboxing. Gamma curves are closely checked and corrected, enabling users to start with the preset gamut range right away. This factory calibration ensures reliable performance and allows for quick recalibration using ColorNavigator if needed.

Individual Factory Adjustment: Calibration Report

Each CG2400S includes an individual calibration report detailing the factory calibration results, including homogeneity, gamma curve, color space coverage, and white point.

Optimized Color Reproduction

EIZO Microchip

The CG2400S features a high-quality microchip developed by EIZO specifically for color-accurate work. This microchip is central to the ColorEdge's guarantee of precise, uniform, and constant image display.

Video and Film Production: Features for Post-Production

The monitor's capabilities are ideal for video and film post-production.

High-Resolution 3D LUT

The 3D LUT ensures precise tonal value allocation and extremely accurate color tone reproduction, contributing to accurate display of gradients and color mixing.

HDR Gamma

The ColorEdge CG2400S supports HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) and PQ (Perceptual Quantization) gamma curves for HDR video. With a maximum brightness of 400 cd/m², it provides a meaningful impression of processed HDR material.

Pre-Installed Industry Standards

Color Space Presets

Pre-sets for DCI-P3, BT.709, and BT.2020 color spaces are precisely calibrated ex works. Color modes for PQ (DCI and BT.2100) and HLG (BT.2100) for HDR content are also factory-set. The brightness setting for each preset can be adjusted and recalibrated using the integrated calibration sensor. HDR Mode for Windows and macOS is directly supported.

Automatic Color Settings

The CG2400S features Sync Signal functionality, which automatically adjusts monitor settings like signal range and color format to match the incoming video signal, ensuring consistent color settings throughout production.

Luminance Warning

This feature marks areas exceeding specific brightness levels (300, 500, 1000, or 4000 cd/m²) in PQ mode, optionally in yellow or magenta.

Safe Area Marker

Ideal for subtitles and critical images, the Safe Area Marker helps identify which part of the scene will be displayed in different aspect ratios. It allows users to check if subtitles, texts, or important elements are within the visible area, with adjustable color, size, and aspect ratio.

Gamut Warning

This warning operates in two modes: it displays Rec. 2020 content that cannot be shown in the Rec. 709 gamut in grayscale, or it simulates clipping mode in Rec. 709 to show how Rec. 2020 material would appear on HDTV devices.

Ideal for Video and Film Production

HDMI Signals

The monitor supports image frequencies of 24 Hz and 60 Hz, allowing users to view and edit film material at its native frame rate. It supports HDMI signals with refresh rates of 60, 50, 30, 25, and 24 Hz and includes I/P conversion.

One Monitor, Many Ports

Variety of Ports: Best Connectivity

The CG2400S supports a wide range of video formats via USB-C, HDMI, and DisplayPort, integrating seamlessly into PC-based workflows and supporting HDMI feeders.

Streamlined Connection with USB-C

A single USB-C cable handles image signal, USB data transfer, and power supply up to 70W. This makes the CG2400S a central hub for graphic workflows. Peripheral devices can connect to USB-A ports, and mobile devices can be charged via the USB-C cable. This setup transforms a laptop and the CG2400S into a fully-fledged desktop workstation.
