CG279X

Your advantages

The CG279X is ideal for professionals working in video post-pro­duction and pre-printing. It covers up to 98% of the DCI-P3 col­our space and up to 99% of the Adobe RGB colour space. The
27” ColorEdge pro-monitor also features a 16-bit 3D look-up­table for precisely controlling colour reproduction. An integrated
sensor for hardware calibration ensures precise and automatic
adjustment of brightness, white balance and hue curve. Once set
up, the CG279X only has to be profiled once a year. The auto­matic self-calibration with a built-in calibration sensor delivers
consistent colours in the meantime. It is possible to work with non­colour-critical applications without interruption while the recalib­ration is taking place. The integrated Digital Uniformity Equalizer
(DUE) guarantees perfect brightness and colour purity on the en­tire display. The validation function can be used to measure and
verify the precision of the monitor at any time. The CG279X is
equipped with a USB Type C port, an HDMI port and a Display­Port port, as well as four USB downstream ports. The new hous­ing design with narrow bezels is particularly elegant.

27" Graphics-Monitor

Excellent image qualit y for sharp images

The screen has an impressive contrast ratio of 1500:1 and a
brightness of 350 cd/m2. The LCD panel with IPS (wide gamut)
technology enables a viewing angle of 178 degrees, ensuring
that hues and contrast remain stable for the viewer.

True Black: Color depth for plastic images

Dark tones often appear faint or washed-out on LCD screens.
True Black improves the contrast ratio and dark tones appear
deeper – particularly when looking at the monitor from the side.

HDR-Gamma-Support

In terms of the HLG and PQ tone curves, the CG279X meets
the relevant standards for the display and processing of content
in HDR (High Dynamic Range). The optimised gamma curves
enable the content to closely resemble natural, human colour
perception. Production and post-production professionals can
count on a reliable representation with HDR tone curves for
editing and colour grading.

Wide gamut – vivid colours in line with industry standards

The wide-gamut monitor reliably reproduces 98% of the DCI P3
standard used in digital cinema and also supports the Rec. 2020
standard. The CG279X also covers 99% of the Adobe RGB
gamut. When images recorded in RAW format are converted to
AdobeRGB, the monitor reproduces these with absolute colour
fidelity. The EIZO monitor also offers great advantages for print­ing: It covers almost the entire CMYK gamut (ISO coated and

10 bit color depth: a billion colors in the finest grades

Thanks to the 10 bit color display based on a 16 bit LUT, you
can utilize a huge color spectrum. This is made possible by the
rapid DisplayPort and HDMI connections in combination with
the frame rate control. A billion colors at your fingertips simul­taneously. That is 64 times more colors than with an 8 bit display.
The color gradations are finer and the color differences between
adjacent colors are smaller. The enhanced grayscale range is
equally important for post-production. With the 10 bit grayscale
range activated, between 6% and 14% more grayscales are vis­ible.
