27" EIZO colour Edge CS2731

The EIZO CS2731 is part of a wider range of professional photo and video monitors in the colourEdge series. An important revolutionary improvement is the new colourNavigator 7 software, which is currently the only software in the world that allows you to generate ICC profiles for photo editors without using a calibration probe – just by selecting one of the preset monitor image modes using the MODE button on the EIZO colourEdge CS2731's control bar. The EIZO colourEdge CS2731 uses a low-power LCD panel with a semi-matte finish and a resolution of 2560×1440. The backlighting system consists of high-efficiency colour LED elements, which means it emits little heat. The so-called “cool” screen significantly contributes to less eye fatigue and a longer lifespan for the EIZO colourEdge CS2731 monitor. HiPWM technology is used to control the brightness, which uses very high-frequency pulses to control the screen's luminosity over a very wide brightness range without causing the image to flicker, giving it a perfectly calm and clean feel – similar to an image reproduced by light reflected from paper.

Zero Tolerance for Defective Pixels

EIZO guarantees zero tolerance for defective pixels or sub-pixels. If defective pixels/sub-pixels are found within six months from the date of sale, the user has the right to request a replacement or a significant discount on the purchased EIZO colourEdge CS2731 monitor. Thanks to the high quality of all components used in the production of the EIZO colourEdge CS2731 monitor, the manufacturer provides a 5-year warranty on this model, including a warranty on the LCD panel and its backlighting system. For the EIZO colourEdge CS2731 model, you can also order a professional photographic hood that prevents unwanted side reflections of ambient light on the monitor's screen surface.

colourNavigator 7 Calibration Software - A Revolution in Calibrating the EIZO colourEdge CS2731 Monitor

Calibration software is used (as the name suggests) to calibrate the monitor. Thanks to calibration, it is possible to set the desired image parameters of the monitor, and the result of the calibration is also the creation of a so-called ICC profile for the monitor, which is a file where information about the state the monitor was in after its calibration was completed is stored, and at the same time, it is a file that photo editors work with when they are launched. Without a monitor ICC profile, they are unable to correctly reproduce colour photographs taken according to various video standards. The colourNavigator 7 calibration software is revolutionary in that it now ensures the generation of the monitor's ICC profile without the need to calibrate the monitor with a calibration probe! It is simply enough to select a suitable video mode for work on the monitor using the MODE button, and the colourNavigator 7 program will AUTOMATICALLY generate the corresponding monitor ICC profile for the installed and used photo editor, so the user will see the photo correctly in their photo editor without having to calibrate the monitor beforehand. The individual preset video modes can also be “customised”, i.e., their image parameters can be changed, thus creating and saving a new, up-to-date monitor ICC profile to the monitor, and also naming them as desired. The operation of the colourNavigator 7 program is also very simple because all communication with the monitor takes place in Czech and does not force the user to understand the special terms necessary for the otherwise quite complicated manual setting of the monitor's colour management. Of course, if needed (e.g., the monitor ages, or it is necessary to create a new special – not preset – monitor ICC profile), it is possible to recalibrate the monitor at any time using a calibration probe. The colourNavigator 7 program uses the so-called hardware calibration method (independent of the computer's graphics card) for this. However, in the case of new or lightly used monitors, calibration is NOT necessary, and the user does not need to consider purchasing a suitable calibration probe when buying the monitor. At the same time, they do not need to know anything about calibrations or setting up colour management. colourNavigator 7 now handles everything for them. In the case of performing a control recalibration of the monitor, it is very pleasant that thanks to the high stability of the components used and thanks to the careful calibration of the transfer characteristics of the RGB channels already in the factory by the manufacturer, only the basic RGB colour components and then black and white need to be measured to calibrate the monitor. The calibration thus takes only a few minutes. Another “bonus” of the sophisticated calibration of EIZO monitors is the fact that after the monitor ages, every user can perform a control recalibration of all factory preset modes (brightness, white point, and gamut) at home and by themselves, thus restoring all factory preset video modes in home conditions. (Of course, it is advisable to verify the accuracy of the used calibration probe before calibrating the monitor). It is again an advantage that the colourNavigator 7 program now supports the 20 most common calibration sensors and, of course, all integrated calibration sensors in EIZO monitors with an integrated calibration sensor.
