Eizo has announced the Coloredge CG2400S, a 24.1in colour management monitor that’s the first in the series to feature HDR workflow support. The Eizo Coloredge CG2400S offers a WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution on a 24.1in display, with a contrast ratio of 1800:1, the highest in the Coloredge CG line-up. This is intended to enhance black levels and shadow details. A retardation film is also included to mitigate colour distortion from viewing angles and maintain tonal consistency. For HDR workflows, the CG2400S supports hybrid log- gamma and perceptual quantization curves for increased accuracy. USB Type C input enables a single-cable connection to laptops, providing up to 70W of power, which might reduce the need for an additional laptop charger. The monitor includes Eizo’s built-in calibration tech and Color Navigator 7 software, to automate colour accuracy maintenance without external calibration tools. It is scheduled for release in April 2025. eizo.eu Eizo Coloredge line-up grows
