EIZO ColorEdge CG2700S 27" 1440p HDR Monitor

EIZO CG2700S Overview

The ColorEdge CG2700S 27" 1440p HDR Monitor from EIZO delivers a streamlined experience so professionals in video editing, game development, photography, and more can focus on creating. An integrated color calibration sensor not only helps to ensure your screen remains color accurate, but it can be set to automatically run at designated times.

EIZO designed the ColorEdge CG2700S with a native resolution of 2560 x 1440, In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology, 10-bit support for 1.07 billion colors, a 16-bit LUT, a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, a static contrast ratio of 1600:1, 400 nits brightness, 109 pixels per inch, and a 19 ms (GtG) response time. Using the 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles, it is possible to watch content from virtually any position. This display has one HDMI input and one DisplayPort input, plus a USB-C port that supports DP alt mode, data transfers of up to 5 Gb/s using the USB 3.1 Gen 1 standard, and up to 92W of power for device charging. Additional USB ports include one USB-B 3.1 Gen 1 input, two USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 outputs, and two USB-A 2.0 outputs. Additionally, there is an RJ45 port that provides network access when the CG2700S is connected to your host system via USB-C.

The ColorEdge CG2700S has been engineered to support 99% of the Adobe RGB and 98% of the DCI-P3 color gamuts as well as HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) and PQ (Perceptual Quantization) for displaying and editing HDR video. To further help improve viewing and accessibility, there is a vertical tilt of -5 to 35° , a left/right swivel of 344° (± 172° ), a clockwise rotation of 90° , and a height adjustment of 6.1" .

2K WQHD Resolution

The ColorEdge CG2700S displays at 2K WQHD (2560 x 1440) resolution. The 27" screen provides ample space for displaying Full HD content with enough space to show toolbars, palettes, and other windows or applications. This makes the monitor versatile for video editing, 3DCG creation, game development, photography, and other creative fields.

Single Cable Connection with USB-C

The ColorEdge CG2700S features USB-C connectivity that allows you to display video, transmit USB signals, and supply power to a connected device such as a tablet or notebook. This convenient multi-purpose connectivity makes it faster and easier to connect when moving between workstations or working remotely.

Power Delivery

The ColorEdge CG2700S reliably charges a MacBook Pro or other high-end laptops with 92W of power delivery. This eliminates the need for a laptop s bulky power supply unit, freeing up space in your bag and on the desk.

Stable Network Connection

While many modern laptops are not equipped with a dedicated LAN port, the monitor has one directly built in for stable wired connection. Connecting a laptop via USB-C provides access to the network through the monitor for sharing creative assets and files, carrying out post production work remotely, and enabling network-based color management via ColorNavigator Network.

Built-In Sensor to Automate Your Workflow

The ColorEdge CG2700S built-in sensor 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 sensor swings onto the screen, taking up minimal space and allowing you to continue working even during calibration.

ColorNavigator 7 Color Management Software

A monitor needs to be calibrated at regular intervals to maintain color accuracy. EIZO s proprietary ColorNavigator 7 software provides an intuitive and precise solution to color management. It allows you to schedule automatic recalibration, calibrate all color modes simultaneously, and conduct correlation with external sensors to match the studio s internal color management framework. Calibration information is saved to the monitor instead of the operating system, so users do not have to recalibrate, even when using a different PC.

ColorNavigator Network Color Management Software

ColorNavigator Network provides centralized quality control (QC) of ColorEdge monitors for studios, printing houses, and other enterprises with multiple creators and editors who work on shared projects. With NetAgent or ColorNavigator 7 installed on the workstation, administrators can manage multiple ColorEdge monitors via web browser enabling quality control, even from remote locations. ColorNavigator Network is hosted on a secure cloud server to free you from the initial investment and running costs of providing your own server.

Vivid Colors Reproduced to Industry Standards

The monitor s wide color gamut faithfully reproduces 98% of the DCI-P3 standard used in digital cinema and supports the BT.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. It also covers almost the entire ISO-coated and US web-coated CMYK color spaces used in printing.

3D LUT for Accurate Color Display

The monitor uses a 3D LUT which adjusts colors individually on an RGB cubic table. With the supported ColorNavigator 7 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.

10-Bit Simultaneous Display

Using the DisplayPort or HDMI input, the ColorEdge monitor offers 10-bit simultaneous display from a 16-bit look-up-table (LUT), which means it can show more than one billion colors simultaneously. This is 64 times more colors than you get with an 8-bit display, resulting in smooth color gradations and reduced Delta-E between two adjacent colors.

Please note that a graphics board and software which support 10-bit output are also necessary for 10-bit display. Equipment that supports DeepColor is required for 10-bit display when connected via HDMI.

Broadcast and Cinema Presets

Preset modes for DCI-P3, BT.709, and BT.2020 ensure you can work in the appropriate color spaces and gamma values. In addition, preset modes for PQ (DCI and BT.2100) and HLG (BT.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.

HDR Gamma Support

The ColorEdge CG2700S features a high brightness level of 400 nits. It supports 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.

True Black Display

In compliance with the DCI standard, the monitor offers a high contrast ratio of 1600:1 for producing true blacks that are otherwise difficult to display on a typical LCD monitor. CG Series monitors are also equipped with a retardation film which allows tones to retain their depth, even when viewed from an angle.

Luminance Warning

The monitor includes a function that shows the areas of the image that cannot be displayed correctly at the current brightness settings. These areas are marked in yellow or magenta and can be viewed for brightness levels of 300, 500, 1000, and 4000 nits.

BT.709 " Out of Gamut" Warning

The monitor includes a Gamut Warning preset that, when selected, indicates areas of a BT.2020 image that cannot be reproduced using BT.709 by converting them to shades of gray. An additional mode called BT.709 Clipping allows the editor to view BT.2020 images within the BT.709 color space, simulating how it would look to their audience in an HDTV environment.
