The CX271 ColorEdge 27" Widescreen LED Backlit IPS ColorEdge LCD Monitor from EIZO features a widescreen 2560 x 1440 LED backlit QHD IPS display complete with a 1,000:1 contrast ratio and a 6 ms gray-to-gray response time. Incorporate this monitor into a variety of computer configurations as it comes equipped with connectivity options including DVI-D, HDMI, and DisplayPort inputs. The DisplayPort and HDMI inputs support 1024 grayscale tones while the DVI input supports 256 grayscale tones to for enhanced image quality.
With the CX271 you can get to work quickly as the display becomes stable within 7 minutes of startup. On the front of the CX271 monitor you will find a built-in correction sensor to maintain the white point and brightness values at predetermined intervals. Additionally, the display reproduces 99% of the Adobe RGB color space so that images shot in RAW that are converted to Adobe RGB or images shot in Adobe RGB will be displayed correctly.
The CX271 comes with ColorNavigator 6 software to assist with the calibration of the display. The included software works in conjunction with the built-in sensor and utilizes the monitor's look-up table to create an ICC profile within minutes. With ColorNavigator NX and ColorNavigator Network a single administrator can automate processes over multiple connected monitors.
Built-In Correction Sensor
The CX271 is equipped with a built-in correction sensor housed within the front upper bezel. This sensor records your adjustment results, and maintains the white point and brightness values by automatically readjusting the settings at specific intervals that you determine. Even if the monitor is switched off or not connected to a computer, it will stick to its preset schedule and self correct.
Reproduces 99% of the Adobe RGB Color Space
An IPS panel with a wide color gamut reproduces 99% of the Adobe RGB color space so images shot in RAW can be converted to Adobe RGB or images shot in Adobe RGB will be displayed correctly. The wide color gamut also ensures that the monitor reproduces almost the entire ISO-coated and US web-coated CMYK color spaces used in printing as well as 93% of the DCI used in post production.
Enhanced Tone Display in the Dark
When viewing the screen from an angle in a dimly lit room, dark tones typically appear washed out due to the display characteristics of LCD backlights. The monitor maintains a high contrast ratio even from an angle which allows the dark tones to retain their depth.
Non-Glare IPS Panel
The IPS (in-plane switching) panel exhibits no glare and allows several people to view the monitor with minimal color shift.
LED Backlight Cuts Power by 40%
The LED backlight reduces energy consumption by 40% compared to a conventional backlight. It is also mercury-free for less impact on the environment.
Brightness Modulation Minimizes Flicker
To counteract the flicker that is noticeable by some users at low brightness settings, EIZO uses PWM (pulse width modulation) technology. This helps prevent eye fatigue for a more comfortable work environment.
Uniformity from Corner to Corner
To counteract fluctuations in brightness and chromaticity, this monitor incorporates EIZO's patented digital uniformity equalizer (DUE) technology to ensure a Delta-E difference of 3 or less across the screen when the monitor leaves the factory. DUE also counterbalances the influences that a fluctuating ambient temperature may have on color temperature and brightness to ensure stable image display.
Individually Adjusted at the Factory
The gamma level for each ColorEdge monitor is adjusted at the factory. This is accomplished by measuring the R, G, and B gamma values from 0-255, then using the monitor's 16-bit look-up table (LUT) to select the 256 most appropriate tones to achieve the desired value.
Stable Display within Seven Minutes of Startup
From the time it is turned on it typically takes 30 minutes or longer for a monitor's brightness, chromaticity, and tone characteristics to stabilize. EIZO has shortened this warm-up time by more than 75% to 7 minutes.
10-Bit Simultaneous Display
Using the DisplayPort input, the monitor offers 10-bit simultaneous color display from a 16-bit look-up-table which means it can show more than one billion color simultaneously. This is 64 times as many colors as you get with an 8-bit display which results in even smoother color gradations and reduced Delta-E between two adjacent colors.
Automatic Readjustment of Color Mode Preset with Internal Sensor
With the built-in SelfCorrection sensor, you can maintain at one of the color mode presets without using any software. When the monitor is calibrated at the EIZO factory, the SelfCorrection sensor measure's the LCD panel's white point and stores it to the monitor. When readjusting, the monitor compares the stored value for white point against the current value and corrects any difference.
I/P Conversion
The HDMI input supports I/P (interlace/progressive) conversion for converting the interlace signals from TV and video into progressive signals for flicker-free display.
ColorNavigator 6
The bundled ColorNavigator software makes calibration both simple and quick. Just input target values for brightness, white point, and gamma. The built-in sensor directly utilizes the monitor's look-up table and creates an ICC profile within minutes.
ColorNavigator NX / ColorNavigator Network
ColorNavigator NX and ColorNavigator Network allow a single administrator to automate the quality control process ColorEdge monitors across an entire studio or between multiple locations. With ColorNavigator NX installed on workstations, an administrator can use ColorNavigator Network software to self-calibration, set the color modes, register or adjust asset management settings, and import/export monitor settings.
Web Hosting
ColorNavigator Network is hosted by EIZO on a secure cloud server.
Multiple Inputs
DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI-D inputs are included and support resolutions up to 2560 x 1440. The HDMI input also offers direct connection with digital cameras. Two USB upstream ports allow two computers to be connected at once so it's not necessary to reconnect the USB cable when using the ColorNavigator software and switching between two computers.
Smooth Display of Video
For video editing or post production work, an overdrive circuit is included to reduce gray-to-gray response time to 6 ms and ensure that moving images look clean and sharp with a minimum of ghosting.
Adjustable Stand
Adjust the screen's angle for more comfortable viewing. The monitor comes with a versatile stand that offers height, tilt, and swivel adjustments as well as portrait mode display.
1080/24p Playback
Film is usually shot at 24 frames/second and looks unnatural when played back on a typical monitor that displays 60 frames/second. The HDMI input supports a video signal display rate of 1080/24p frames-per-second so you can edit the film as it was meant to be viewed.
Zero Watts When Turned Off
When the monitor is turned off via the power button on its front bezel it consumes no electricity.
