Product fiche
The CG2420 impresses with a simple principle: it shows things as they are. This is ensured by the EIZO microprocessor, which was specially developed for precise color reproduction and calibration.

Outstanding image quality for sharp images
The screen impresses with its high resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels), a very good contrast ratio of 1500:1 and a brightness of 400 cd/m 2 . This means you can edit graphics and images with pixel precision, for example. And: the text contours are clear and precise. The LCD module with IPS (Wide Gamut) panel allows a viewing angle of 178 degrees, so that colors and contrasts remain stable in the user's field of vision.
EIZO microchip for optimal color reproduction
The CG2420 has a high-quality microchip (ASIC, Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) that EIZO has developed specifically for the special requirements of color-accurate work. With their own algorithm, EIZO ASICs ensure precise, uniform and consistent color representation.
Wide Gamut – ideal for RAW images and printing
If you work with RAW or AdobeRGB images, you can't go past our wide gamut monitor: The large color space reproduces 99 percent of the AdobeRGB color space . If images taken in RAW format are converted to AdobeRGB, the monitor displays them absolutely correctly. This means you can see a bright blue sky or lush green forests true to nature - in contrast to monitors with sRGB color space . But the EIZO monitor also offers great advantages when printing: It covers almost the entire CMYK color space (for example ISO Coated and US Web Coated). You can see on the screen what the final print result will look like and save yourself proofs.
Integrated sensor for self-calibration
With the integrated sensor you achieve maximum color accuracy. This is perfectly matched to the monitor, takes environmental influences such as light into account and correlates the center and edge of the image. This achieves a uniform result across the entire monitor. The sensor is located in the housing frame and only extends for measurement. A separate calibration device is therefore superfluous and your calibration effort is greatly reduced.
Professional Calibration
Good image processing is only possible on well-calibrated monitors. The usual software calibration takes a long time and requires specialist knowledge from the user. The CG2420 is supplied with the ColorNavigator hardware calibration software. It can be carried out in just a few steps, even by users without in-depth specialist knowledge. Advanced users can specify brightness, gamma and white point and other calibration settings numerically as target values. Because the calibration takes place via the monitor's hardware, it is lossless and independent of the computer and graphics card. The CG2420 fits perfectly into an existing system.
Constant tone value across the entire screen
The Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE) controls all tonal values across the entire monitor, pixel by pixel. The effect: The colors appear identical at every point on the screen, without brightness fluctuations like with conventional LCDs. The DUE function also compensates for the effects of ambient temperature fluctuations on color temperature and brightness. You always enjoy a homogeneous luminance distribution and perfect color purity. A big plus for image retouching and color grading.
10-bit color depth: one billion colors in the finest gradations
Thanks to a 10-bit color representation based on a 16-bit LUT, you can use a huge color spectrum. This is made possible by the fast DisplayPort and HDMI connections in conjunction with the frame rate control. A billion colors are available to you simultaneously. That is 64 times as many colors as with the 8-bit representation. The color gradations are finer and the color distances between neighboring colors are smaller. Also important for post-production: the extended grayscale range. When the 10-bit grayscale range is activated, between 6% and 14% more grayscales are visible.
Stable brightness, no color deviation
The be-all and end-all for precise image processing: constant brightness and color temperature . Patented electronics compensate for brightness fluctuations that can occur as a result of longer operating times and higher ambient and operating temperatures. Thanks to an integrated thermometer, color deviations caused by room temperature fluctuations are controlled and automatically reduced. Color reproduction remains absolutely constant over a long period of operation. Right from the start: The warm-up time until brightness, color and tone have fully stabilized is only seven minutes. That's only a quarter of the usual time.
True Black: Color depth for three-dimensional images
On LCD screens, dark tones often appear pale or washed out. True Black improves the contrast ratio, dark colors achieve depth - especially when looking at the monitor from the side.
For the sake of your eyes: flicker-free work
The monitor is flicker-free at any brightness setting. The advantage: your eyes don't tire as quickly. You can work on the screen for a long period of time.
Lightning-fast color mode change
With the touch of a button, you can access color modes from the monitor's memory. Standards such as AdobeRGB or sRGB are already preset at the factory. In addition, there are the settings that you calibrate yourself. Switching between modes takes seconds and is free of delays caused by recalibration .
Ergonomic and stable: the adjustable stand
The CG2420 has a flexible stand for height, tilt and rotation adjustment that supports both landscape and portrait viewing. The monitor can be adjusted to suit the user's needs. For example, to adjust it for an ergonomic sitting position (e.g. lower it to the base plate) or to show customers and colleagues something on the screen.
One monitor, many connections
It couldn't be easier: you can connect most of your devices such as PCs, laptops or cameras directly to the monitor. The monitor has different interfaces. This makes your daily work easier.
Ideal for video and film production: HDMI
Movies are usually shot at 24 fps, so they look unnatural when played back on a monitor at 60 fps. The monitor supports a frame rate of 24 fps, so you can see and edit your footage as it was shot.
The HDMI signals are supported with refresh rates of 60, 50, 30, 25 and 24 Hz. The monitor also has an I/P conversion.
Fast operation – even in dark rooms
Operation is easy and clear. The Button Guide, an overview function on the monitor, immediately shows you the respective button function above the control panel. The backlit buttons mean that the monitor can also be operated in dark environments. This is particularly helpful in darkened post-production studios.
Suitable for soft proofing
The CG2420 complies with strict softproof specifications based on the draft standard ISO/CD 12646. This is the result that Fogra Forschungsgesellschaft Druck eV came to as part of the monitor test. The CG2420 therefore received the Fogra seal of approval "FograCert Softproof Monitor". This means that you are working with a tested, color-accurate monitor.
Perfect anti-reflective coating
The IPS panel has an optimal anti-reflective coating. Glare is minimized by scattering the reflected light. This protects your eyes from strain. The monitor also allows wide viewing angles without annoying reflections. This is particularly advantageous when several people are sitting in front of the screen.
Exact color reproduction – ex works
With LCD panels, the image display varies from module to module. This is why every single ColorEdge monitor is precisely measured and perfectly adjusted in the factory. The gamma curves of the red, green and blue channels are checked closely and corrected if necessary. This unique EIZO factory calibration allows the user to use the monitor with the preset color spaces straight out of the box. In addition, the factory calibration enables the user to recalibrate much more quickly with the ColorNavigator .
Precise and fast – hardware calibration
With the ColorNavigator software, you can calibrate quickly, easily and with color precision: During calibration, the data is saved and accessed directly in the monitor's look-up table. You determine the corresponding components such as white point, brightness and tone curve (gamma/EOTF) according to your needs. The calibration then runs completely automatically based on the factory adjustment and is therefore unique in terms of precision and speed.
Protection against glare through the light protection hood
The light protection hood reduces reflections and brightness on the screen and protects your eyes. It is easy to put on and reduces the light coming in from above and the sides.
