The Eizo ColorEdge CG2700X is a 27in monitor with a viewable area of 596.2 x 335.3mm and a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4K). This makes its pixel pitch 0.155 x 0.155mm, which helps to ensure a clear, sharp view of images and video.
As a 10-bit display, it can show up to 1.07 billion colours, which means that colour gradations are smooth. In addition, Eizo states that the monitor is able to reproduce 99% of the Adobe RGB colour space that’s frequently used in photography, and 98% of the DCI-P3 standard used in digital cinema. It can also be set to one of nine display modes including AdobeRGB, sRGB, BT.2020, BT.709, DCI-P3, PQ_DCI-P3, HLG_BT.2100, Calibration (CAL), SYNC_SIGNAL and User, all of which can be customised. BT.2020 is a popular choice in broadcasting while HLG (hybrid log-gamma) and PQ (perceptual quantization) are designed for displaying and editing HDR (high dynamic range) content.
Set-up
Large computer monitors are cumbersome and usually awkward to handle, but the Eizo ColorEdge CG2700X comes with its stand attached and it has a handle to make it easy to lift into place. With it positioned on a desk, the next step is to connect it to the power and a computer. This task is made easier by the fact that the stand allows the screen to be rotated through 90° clockwise. This means that the connection ports that normally face downwards can be switched to face sideways for easier access.
