The Japanese company EIZO Corporation is well known for offering high-quality products. Recently, the company introduced the first of a new generation of ColorEdge monitors – the 27-inch CG2700X (3840 x 2160) and CG2700S (2560 x 1440). These flagship models support the HDR workflow and are the first ColorEdge monitors to feature a brand-new cabinet design and built-in network connection via USB Type-C connection with up to 94W power delivery.

Both monitors support HLG (hybrid log-gamma) and the PQ (perceptual quantization) curves for displaying and editing HDR (high dynamic range) content. Both monitors, however, do not reach the 1000 nits brightness, so they need to “trick” the human eyes a bit. The optimized gamma curves render images to appear truer to how the human eye perceives the real world compared to SDR (standard dynamic range). This ensures the monitors can display HDR content for editing and color grading.

USB Type-C connectivity allows users to display video, transmit USB signals, and supply up to 94 W (CG2700X) or 92 W (CG2700S) of power to a connected device, such as a tablet, MacBook Pro, or other high-end notebook PC. This convenient multi-purpose connectivity makes it faster and easier to connect when moving between creative workstations or when working in a remote or home studio. Furthermore, the monitors have a LAN port directly built-in for providing a stable network connection. Connecting a laptop or desktop PC via USB Type-C provides access to the network through the monitor for sharing creative assets and files or carrying out post-production work remotely.
