27" Graphics-Monitor
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.

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.

Precise color rendering thanks to high-resolution 3D look-up
table
The 3D LUT provides for the most precise tone value allocation
possible and extremely exact color tone rendering, which is
shown amongst other things in the gray scale. Brightness levels in
relation to the image signal vary from module to module in LCDs
and the color mixture (addition) of red, green, and blue also
varies. This can be exactly determined and controlled only with
the aid of specific measuring devices. EIZO therefore configures
all of its monitors in the CG series and its colors and tone value
curve in the factory. This results in a consistent color temperature
over the entire gray scale. The result: The color reproduction is
equal, precise, and reliable across each individual CG279X
monitor.
keys above the control panel. The backlight keys mean that the
monitor can even be used in dark environments. This is particularly helpful in dark post-production studios.
Stable brightness, no color deviation
The alpha and omega for exact image editing: constant brightness and color temperature. Patented electronics balance out
brightness fluctuations that may arise due to extended periods
of use and increased environmental and operating temperature.
Thanks to a built-in thermometer, color deviations caused by fluctuations in room temperature are eliminated and automatically
reduced. The color rendering remains absolutely constant over
a long period of use, right from the start: because the warm-up
time until brightness, color, and tone values have completely stabilized is just three minutes.
The 3D look-up table also has the following benefits when working with films: Thanks to the ColorNavigation software included,
you can emulate the colors of film material. This means you can
see how the image will look when it is played. The 3D LUT also
improves the additive mixture of color in the monitor (mixture of
red, green, and blue). This is a key factor for displaying neutral
gray tones correctly.
Gamut presets for film and video production
Presets for the gamuts DCI
P3, Rec. 709 and Rec. 2020
are precisely calibrated in
the factory and ensure you
work with the correct gamma
values. Colour modes for PQ
(DCI and Rec. 2100) and
HLG (Rec. 2100) for the display of HDR content are also preset
as factory defaults. Colour modes on the monitor can be easily
changed at the touch of a key, and recalibrated when necessary
using ColorNavigator.

Professional hardware calibration
Good image processing is only possible on well-calibrated monitors. The usual software calibration takes a long time and requires the user to have a certain level of technical expertise. The
CG279X is supplied with ColorNavigator 6 hardware calibration software. With ColorNavigator, you can perform calibration quickly, easily, and with excellent colour precision: During calibration, the software directly accesses and saves to the
look-up-table in the monitor hardware. You determine the relevant components such as white balance, gamma, brightness, and
tone value curve according to your requirements. Calibration
then runs automatically based on the default set during production and is therefore unique in terms of precision and speed. This
also means that calibration can be performed by users in just a
few steps, with no need for in-depth technical knowledge. Because the calibration takes place via the monitor hardware, it is
performed without loss and independently of the computer and
graphics board. The CG279X can also be smoothly integrated
into an existing system.

Integrated sensor for self-calibration
An integrated calibration sensor ensures you achieve maximum
colour accuracy. The sensor is perfectly aligned to the monitor,
takes environmental influences such as light into account, and
correlates the centre of the image with the edge of the image.
This ensures an even result over the whole monitor.
The sensor is located in the bezel and is only extended when performing measurements. This means that no external calibration
device is necessary, and the colour fidelity of the monitor is optimal at all times.
The CG279X is equipped with the latest sensor technology that
enables recalibration during normal operation, allowing you
to continue working with non-colour-critical applications while
the monitor is calibrating. During calibration, the sensor only
takes up a small area of the screen and does not present an
obstacle. Calibration can also be performed fully automatically
at definable times.
a widespread network of grid points and in each primary color.
This results in a consistent color temperature over the entire gray
scale.
Constant tone value over the entire screen
Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE) controls all tone values over
the entire monitor, pixel by pixel. The effect: color tones appear
identical at each point on the screen, without the brightness fluctuations you experience in conventional LCDs. The DUE function
also balances out the effects of fluctuations in ambient temperature on the color temperature and brightness. You will enjoy consistently even luminance distribution and perfect color purity. A
real plus when touching-up images.
It does not get any simpler than this: You can use the ColorNavigator software or the on-screen menu to determine when you
want monitor calibration to take place automatically. For example, you can schedule calibration to take place during your
lunch break or overnight, with no PC connection required.
Exact color reproduction ex works
Brightness levels in relation to the image signal vary from module
to module in LCDs and therefore the color mixture of red, green,
and blue also varies. This can be exactly determined and controlled only with the aid of specific measuring devices. Therefore,
EIZO configures the CG279X and its colors and tone curves with
Ergonomic and stable: the adjustable base
The CG279X has a flexible base to adjust the height, tilt, and rotation and supports both portrait and landscape use. The monitor can be tailored to the user’s needs. For example, he can set a
sitting position that is ergonomic for him (e.g. lowered to the bottom) or a position to show clients and colleagues something on
the screen.

One monitor, many ports
It doesn’t get simpler than this: Most end devices, such as PCs,
laptops or cameras, can be connected directly to the monitor,
thanks to its wide range of interfaces.
The existing USB-C interface can be used for regular upstream
data transfers as well as to transmit DisplayPort video signals
and audio signals. This means a computer with a USB-C port can
be easily connected with just the one cable. A USB-B interface
is also available as another upstream port. On the USB downstream side, the CG279X has two USB Type B and two USB
Type A ports.
The CG279X supports a wide range of video formats via a DisplayPort input and HDMI. As a result, the monitor can be integrated into PC-based workflows and be used with HDMI feeds.
Protection against glare thanks to the monitor hood
The monitor hood reduces reflection and brightness on the screen
and helps protect your eyes. It is easy to attach and reduces
the amount of light that hits the screen from above and from the
sides.
Five-year warranty
In addition to the high demands placed on production and materials, EIZO also
places the emphasis on quality assurance in all areas.
