NO LOOKING BACK The CG3100X’s colour fidelity surpasses old ColorEdge monitors
CALIBRATION AND WORKFLOW INTEGRATION The CG3100X is equipped with EIZO’s award-winning, built-in calibration sensor technology and ColorNavigator 7 colour management software, which removes the need for any third-party calibration, reduces running costs and increases its value for money. The monitor includes a Pixel Inspection tool, accessed via the menu. This system lets the user scan any pixel on the screen and check the colour parameters. It is an incredibly useful function, adding an extra layer of confidence when using the monitor for a colour-intensive workload. Additionally, an optional DaVinci Resolve plug-in can automatically switch the monitor to the correct colour profile based on the selected project settings, reducing the risk of user error and helping colourists work with confidence.
headphone jack for wired audio output as well as DisplayPort and HDMI inputs supporting up to DCI 4K at 60p 4:4:4 10- and 12-bit, respectively. FINAL THOUGHTS The CG3100X compares favourably in the field of post-production monitors. It boasts class-leading performance in terms of colour and image fidelity, matching and even eclipsing previous iterations in the ColorEdge range. The monitor’s sleek design is attractive; the 20dB fan runs quietly, while keeping internal components cool; and the tilt- and height-adjustable stand make it ergonomic, letting it be positioned at a comfortable height and angle, with wall mounting options available separately. All in all, this is another market-leading product for post-production workflow from EIZO.
Another standout feature is the inclusion of a USB-C port that can be used instead of the HDMI or DisplayPort, as well as powering your machine, up to 94W, effectively reducing your desktop to a two-cable solution, minimising cable management and improving flexibility in a coworking space set-up. This allows the monitor to slot into a post-production workflow with minimal friction. You can have multiple monitors set up in a room and all users would have to do is plug in their laptops with a single cable. ADDITIONAL FEATURES Other features to look out for include 97% Adobe RGB and 99% DCI-P3 colour space reproduction, 3D LUT for enhanced colour precision, a light-shielding hood and screen uniformity with patented Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE) tech.
