Eizo ColorEdge CX241-BK-CNX 24" Widescreen LED Backlit LCD Monitor with EasyPIX Color Matching Tool

Monitor Features

Built-in Correction Sensor

The CX271 is equipped with a built-in correction sensor housed within the front upper bezel. This sensor records your adjustment results, and maintains the white point and brightness values by automatically readjusting the settings at specific intervals that you determine. Even if the monitor is switched off or not connected to a computer, it will stick to its preset schedule and self correct.

Reproduces 99% of the Adobe RGB Color Space

An IPS panel with a wide color gamut reproduces 99% of the Adobe RGB color space so images shot in RAW can be converted to Adobe RGB or images shot in Adobe RGB will be displayed correctly. The wide color gamut also ensures that the monitor reproduces almost the entire ISO-coated and US web-coated CMYK color spaces used in printing as well as 93% of the DCI used in post production.

Uniformity from Corner to Corner

This monitor incorporates EIZO′s patented digital uniformity equalizer (DUE) technology to ensure a Delta-E difference of 3 or less across the screen when the monitor leaves the factory. DUE also counterbalances the influences that a fluctuating ambient temperature may have on color temperature and brightness to ensure a stable image display.

Individually Adjusted at the Factory

The gamma level for each ColorEdge monitor is adjusted at the factory. This is accomplished by measuring the R, G, and B gamma values from 0 - 255, then using the monitor′s 16-bit look-up table (LUT) to select the 256 most appropriate tones to achieve the desired value.

Stable Display within Seven Minutes of Startup

From the time it is turned on it typically takes 30 minutes or longer for a monitor′s brightness, chromaticity, and tone characteristics to stabilize. EIZO has shortened this warm-up time by more than 75% to a mere 7 minutes. For confirming your work in a photo studio or taking your monitor with you on location, you can get to work right away.

10-Bit Simultaneous Display

Using the DisplayPort input, the monitor offers a 10-bit simultaneous color display from a 16-bit look-up table, which means it can show more than one billion colors simultaneously. This is 64 times as many colors as you get with an 8-bit display, which results in even smoother color gradations and a reduced Delta-E between two adjacent colors.
Please note a graphics board and software which support 10-bit output are also necessary for 10-bit display.

Automatic Readjustment of Color Mode Preset with Internal Sensor

With the built-in SelfCorrection sensor, you can maintain the monitor at one of the color mode presets without using any software. When the monitor is calibrated at the EIZO factory, the SelfCorrection sensor measures the LCD panel′s white point and stores it to the monitor. When readjusting, the monitor compares the stored value for white point against the current value and corrects any difference.

Excellent Tone Display in the Dark

When viewing the screen from an angle in a dimly lit room, dark tones typically appear washed out due to the display characteristics of LCD backlights. The monitor maintains a high contrast ratio even from an angle, which allows the dark tones to retain their depth.

LED Buttons and On-Screen Button Guide

For dimly-lit work environments like post production studios, the monitor comes with backlit control buttons and an on-screen button guide to indicate what each button is for.

I/P Conversion

The HDMI input supports I/P (interlace/progressive) conversion for converting the interlace signals from TV and video into progressive signals for flicker-free display.

ColorNavigator 6

The bundled ColorNavigator software makes calibration both simple and quick. Just input target values for brightness, white point, and gamma. The built-in sensor directly utilizes the monitor′s look-up table and creates an ICC profile within minutes. You can always download the latest version of ColorNavigator for free on EIZO′s official website.

ColorNavigator NX / ColorNavigator Network

ColorNavigator NX and ColorNavigator Network allow a single administrator to automate the quality control process of ColorEdge monitors across an entire studio or between multiple locations.
With ColorNavigator NX installed on workstations, an administrator can use ColorNavigator Network software to schedule self-calibration, set the color modes, register or adjust asset management settings, and import/export monitor settings.

Free Web Hosting

ColorNavigator Network is hosted by EIZO on a secure cloud server to free you from the initial investment and running costs of providing your own server.

Multiple Inputs

DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI-I inputs are included and support resolutions up to 2560 x 1440. The HDMI input also offers direct connection with digital cameras. Two USB upstream ports allow two computers to be connected at once, so it′s not necessary to reconnect the USB cable when using the ColorNavigator software and switching between the two computers.

Smooth Display of Video

For video editing or post production work, an overdrive circuit is included to reduce gray-to-gray response time to 7.7 ms and ensure that moving images look clean and sharp with minimal ghosting.

Adjustable Stand

Adjust the screen to the most comfortable angle for you and reposition it to show your work to a colleague or client. The monitor comes with a versatile stand that offers height, tilt, and swivel adjustments as well as portrait mode display.

Shading Hood for Portrait and Landscape Modes

This monitor comes bundled with a unique hood that is designed for both landscape and portrait modes. Now you can keep the glare off your screen no matter which mode you work in.

Pixel Defect Warranty up to 12 Months

The RGB full pixel failure is zero for up to 12 months after date of purchase based on ISO 9241-307 (pixel failure class I).

Zero Watts When Turned Off

When the monitor is turned off via the power button on its front bezel, it consumes no electricity.

Eizo EasyPIX Features

Color Matching in Three Easy Steps

• Adjust the monitor′s color and brightness with EasyPIX software to match paper white.

•Measure and save the monitor′s settings with the EX2 sensor to make color profiles.

• Colors of final photo prints match the image on the monitor with proper printer setting.

Three Adjustment Viewing Modes

Matching Mode
For more accurate final photo print color, Matching mode lets you adjust the monitor′s color and brightness to match the white of photo paper.

Photo Viewing Mode
This mode sets the monitor′s color temperature to 5500K, a common default setting at which many digital cameras take photos. It also lets you adjust the monitor′s brightness.

Web Viewing Mode
Ideal for previewing how others will see your photos when shared online, Web Viewing mode′s 6500K default color temperature is the same as most web browsers. Or, adjust the brightness manually for greater control.

Paper White Measurement

Paper White Measuring Function
Beginning with version 1.0.9, EasyPIX has a paper white measuring function. Just hold the EX2 sensor about 10" (25cm) away from the paper you will use for printing. The white of the digital paper in the middle of your screen will change to match the white of your printing paper. If further adjustments to the white paper on the screen are required, you can tweak the monitor′s color and brightness manually.
