14 DAY TRIAL // There are many monitors out and selling, but only the very best ever get labeled as “flagship” products, and EIZO did its best to have its latest creations qualify for the term.
The newcomers are called ColorEdge CG277 and CX271 and both have screen diagonals of 27 inches.
The former is made for professional photographers, as well as those working in prepress, video editing, and post production. It has a sensor that swings up onto the screen for self-calibration.
The latter is made for designers and has a correction sensor that maintains calibration results after an external sensor was used to calibrate the colors.
Other than that, the monitors are the same, with three types of video inputs (DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI-D), a USB hub (two upstream and two downstream ports), ergonomic stands with 25° tilt, 344° swivel, portrait mode, and 151.5 mm height adjustment.
They also have more than one billion colors simultaneously (10-bit display) and a 16-bit look-up table via the DisplayPort input.
EIZO is shipping the ColorEdge CG277 and CX271, or it will soon. Prices are still unknown though. No doubt they are high enough that they ultimately don't matter. Professionals with high standards may very well have the cash to get one, regardless of the cost, just like hardcore gamers have the uncanny ability to shell out cash for every new piece of top-grade hardware.
