The Japanese company Eizo has introduced five new models of
monitors designed for professional photographers: ColorEdge CG276, ColorEdge CG246,
ColorEdge CX270, ColorEdge CX240 and ColorEdge CS230.
In digital photography, where the "revealed" and
editing the images is done on a computer, it is very important to have
appropriate equipment. You not only need a powerful computer, capable of
working with large files, but also a quality monitor. You can calibrate and
show us the colors of your images as they are in real life. Within the field of
photographic monitors Eizo is one of the best known brands. This company has
just renewed its range of ColorEdge monitors with the introduction of three new
series and five models.
To begin we have the CG series, which is primarily aimed at
professionals in photography, layout, video editing, post production and, in
general, anything that has to do with image editing. These monitors include a
sensor that allows the monitor calibration easily, a wide color space,
calibration software and hood to avoid unwanted reflections on the screen
(especially useful if you use the monitor outdoors). Within this line have
released new models 27 inches ColorEdge CG276 and 24 inches ColorEdge CG246.
The CX series is the series average, which is designed for
professionals, but also for amateurs as well as training centers for design and
photography. They cover most of the Adobe RGB color space include calibration
software and hood and have a sensor that keeps SelfCorrection calibration
results even after using an external sensor. Two are also developments of this
line CX: 27 inches ColorEdge CX270 and 24 inches ColorEdge CX240.
In these two series mentioned Eizo has included a couple
interesting technological improvements. One is reducing the time needed to
stabilize the monitor brightness and color after starting. Took about 30
minutes before and now only 7. The second improvement is DUE technology (short
for Digital Uniformity Equalizer, or EQ digital uniformity). This function
corrects the errors of uniformity of brightness and keeps the color temperature
stable while we work in environments where color is variable. The example set
in the press release is if we work in a photo shoot on location.
Finally, the CS series Eizo ColorEdge is intended as
introductory level and color space offered is lower than in the CX series
models and CG. This range is formed only when a monitor, the ColorEdge CS230,
which has a screen size of 23 inches.
All ColorEdge monitors have DVI-I ports, HDMI and
Display Port to connect to different types of graphics cards. In addition, the
HDMI port allows direct connection of cameras that also use this type of port.
It is also possible to connect via USB. The foot of the monitors easier to put
in a vertical or horizontal and the adjustment of its height and tilt.
According to the press release, this new line will begin to market this month,
but will depend on the distributors in each territory. In addition, Eizo has
announced that new products will be present at Photokina 2012 next month.
