Featuring HLG (Hybrid Gamma Log) and PQ (Perceptual Quantization) curves, this new EIZO ColorEdge CG279X is the successor to the CG277 for displaying and editing HDR video content. The optimized gamma curves make the images appear to be more realistic as the human eye perceives the real world compared to SDR, making it ready for color distribution at the end of the workflow.

With the ColorEdge CG279X, the color space reproduces 98% of the DCI-P3 color space used in the media and entertainment industries. According to the DCI standard, the ColorEdge CG279X offers a high contrast ratio of 1300:1 to produce true black levels that would otherwise be difficult to visualize on a typical LCD monitor.

In addition, the ColorEdge CG279X is the first in the series to feature a Type C USB port that can transmit video and data signals with a single cable. It also features DVI-D, HDMI and DisplayPort inputs for high compatibility. The ColorEdge CG279X is equipped with an advanced built-in calibration sensor that allows the user to continue operating the monitor during recalibration.

With the new ColorNavigator 7 color management software from EIZO, monitor quality can be quickly and reliably calibrated and controlled. ColorNavigator 7 combines all the features of the previous color management software from EIZO, ColorNavigator 6 and ColorNavigator NX into a new and improved solution for creative professionals in a variety of fields. The ColorEdge CG279X is equipped with a temperature sensor to accurately measure the temperature inside the monitor and estimate the temperature of the environment.

In addition, with the ColorEdge CG279X estimation algorithm, EIZO KI can distinguish multiple temperature change patterns to calculate an even more accurate adjustment. It will be shown for the first time at IBC 2018 in Amsterdam.
