EIZO ColorEdge CG319X 31.1" 17:9 Hardware Calibration IPS Monitor

Built with Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) and Perceptual Quantization (PQ) curves for HDR video editing, as well as a wide color gamut for displaying color-accurate and vibrant images, the ColorEdge CG319X 31.1" 17:9 Hardware Calibration IPS Monitor from Eizo supports 99% of the Adobe RGB and 98% of the DCI-P3 color spaces. When paired with its Cinema 4K resolution of 4096 x 2160, 10-bit support for 1.07 billion colors, and 24-bit LUT, it's well-suited for creating, editing, and referencing with 2D and 3D CGI, VFX, compositing, and color grading.

The ColorEdge CG319X also features In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology, an anti-glare panel, a widescreen 17:9 aspect ratio, a static contrast ratio of 1500:1, 350 cd/m 2 brightness, 149 pixels per inch, and a 9 ms (GtG) response time. Using the 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles, it is possible to watch content from virtually any position. Using its two DisplayPort 1.2 inputs, 10-bit 4:4:4 50/60p video signals are supported, while the two HDMI 2.0 ports support 10-bit 4:2:2: 50/60p video signals. Connectivity with other peripherals, as well as your base system, is accomplished with one upstream USB 3.0 Type-B port and three USB 3.0 Type-A ports.

To further help improve viewing and accessibility, the ColorEdge CG319X features a vertical tilt of -5 to 35°, a swivel of 344°, and a height adjustment of 6.06". To better help manage this display's color workflow, there is a built-in sensor that can be set to automatically calibrate the monitor at designated times, and ColorNavigator 6 software is available as a free download. To better serve broadcast and cinema presets, there are modes for DCI-P3, Rec. 709, Rec. 2020, and Rec. 2100.

The ColorEdge CG319X is equipped with a built-in sensor which can be set to calibrate the monitor automatically at designated times. This eliminates the need for a third-party calibration device and ensures your screen stays color-accurate. In addition, the monitor's sensor technology allows you to continue using it even during recalibration. The sensor swings onto the screen, taking up minimal space, so your work remains uninterrupted. However, it is not recommended to carry out color-critical work during recalibration, as the screen's colors will be adjusted.

To properly manage color in your work, it is necessary to ensure your monitor maintains consistent settings. ColorNavigator 6 is available as a free download and allows you to easily carry out calibration. Simply select the desired preset or assign 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.

The CG319X supports ColorNavigator NX quality control (QC) software. It offers asset management of client ColorEdge monitors and covers calibration, emulation, built-in sensor correlation, and color mode settings. With ColorNavigator NX, calibration information is saved to the monitor instead of your system's operating system so you do not have to recalibrate if connecting to more than one computer. The software is most effectively used with Eizo's ColorNavigator Network solution.

ColorNavigator Network provides centralized quality control of ColorEdge monitors that have ColorNavigator NX installed. Administrators can set color modes, schedule self-calibration, register or adjust asset management settings, and other tasks whether the monitors are local or remote. ColorNavigator Network is hosted on a secure cloud server to free you from the initial investment and running costs of providing your own server.

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, smartphones, and notebook computers.

The ColorEdge CG319X displays the DCI 4K standard (4096 x 2160), which is more than four times that of Full HD (1920 x 1080). It's ideal for creating, editing, and referencing with 2D and 3D CGI, VFX, compositing, and color grading.

Whether you are creating, editing, or checking your work, this screen offers ample space to focus on 4K content. At a dense 149 ppi, it's suited for not only video editing but also photo retouching and printing.

The ColorEdge CG319X is equipped with HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) and the PQ (Perceptual Quantization) curve for displaying and editing HDR (High Dynamic Range) video content. The optimized gamma curves render images to appear more true to how the human eye perceives the real world compared to SDR (Standard Dynamic Range). This ensures professional creators can reliably display HDR content for editing and color grading.

This wide-gamut monitor faithfully reproduces 98% of the DCI-P3 standard used in digital cinema and supports the Rec. 2020 standard used in broadcasting. In addition, it covers 99% of the Adobe RGB color space so images shot in Adobe RGB will be displayed correctly. The wide color gamut also ensures reproduction of almost the entire ISO-coated and US web-coated CMYK color spaces used in printing.

In compliance with the DCI standard, the ColorEdge CG319X offers a high contrast ratio of 1500:1 for producing true blacks that are otherwise difficult to display on a typical LCD monitor. 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 CG Series is equipped with a retardation film, which allows tones to retain their depth even when viewed from an angle.

A 3D LUT is included, which adjusts colors individually on an RGB cubic table. With the supported ColorNavigator NX software's emulation function, creators can check how content will appear to 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.

With 10-bit simultaneous display from a 24-bit look-up-table (LUT), the ColorEdge CG319X can show more than one billion colors simultaneously. This results in smooth color gradations and reduced Delta-E between two adjacent colors.

Preset modes for DCI-P3, Rec. 709, and Rec. 2020 ensure you can work in the appropriate color spaces and gamma values. In addition, preset modes for PQ (DCI and Rec. 2100) and HLG (Rec. 2100) are available for viewing HDR content. With the built-in calibration sensor, you can conveniently adjust or maintain the brightness setting for each preset.

The ColorEdge CG319X includes a PQ and HLG Clipping function that shows the areas of an image that display at brightness levels higher than the current setting. The areas that cannot be displayed at the correct brightness with the current settings are shown in yellow or magenta. PQ and HLG Clipping can be viewed for brightness levels of 300, 500, 1000, and 4000 cd/m 2.

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. The color of the marker is changeable to ensure it remains with any imagery.

An aspect marker designates the areas of the screen size that will be shown on a display device when you input DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) or DCI 2K (2048 x 1080). This allows you to confirm how the screen size and composition of the scene will appear in other viewing environments. Aspect ratios 1.85:1, 2.35:1, and 2.39:1 can be selected.
