Outstandingly sharp image quality
The monitor has an impressive top resolution (2560 x 1440), a very good contrast ratio of 1000:1 and a brightness of 350 cd/m². For example, you can edit graphics and images down to the pixel. As an added benefit, text contours are clear and precise. The LCD panel with the IPS (Wide Gamut) panel allows for a viewing angle of 178 degrees, ensuring that hue and contrast remain stable for the viewer.
Wide gamut color space
To be able to use the entire colour spectrum of modern cameras, you need a monitor with the largest possible colour space. Only then is it possible to visually assess and edit the saturated hues contained in the file. That is why the IPS panel of the ColorEdge CS2731 covers, for example, the wide AdobeRGB photo gamut as well as the CMYK print gamut ISO-Coated V2 to more than 99%. This means that the full colour spectrum of modern cameras is represented unaltered and without gaps. A precise simulation of the print result in the softproof view is also guaranteed.
Perfect settings right from the factory
Every ColorEdge CS2731 is individually measured and optimally configured at the factory, enabling use immediately after unboxing. To this end, the gamma curves for the red, green and blue channels are closely checked and corrected if necessary. This unique EIZO factory calibration enables the user to start using the monitor with the preset gamut range right out of the box. This careful calibration also makes it quick and simple to recalibrate the monitor later using ColorNavigator.
Hardware calibration without any compromises
It is essential that the monitor is regularly calibrated to ensure it always displays the same file consistently over its service life. All ColorEdge monitors employ lossless hardware calibration. Unlike software calibration, which can risk loss of display quality, hardware calibration not only creates an adjustment profile for the graphics board but also calibrates the monitor’s LUT (look-up table).
EIZO software for fast calibration and printing
Each monitor ages and its display properties change. This is why graphics monitors, which require absolutely constant image display over their service life, must be regularly calibrated. With EIZO’s free ColorNavigator 7 calibration software, the ColorEdge CS2731 can be adjusted within 90 seconds (measured with a MacBook Pro and EX4), easily and without loss. This ensures the same image will still look the same on the monitor years from now.
EIZO microchip
The CS2731 has a high-quality microchip (ASIC, Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) developed by EIZO specifically for work demanding high colour accuracy. This microchip is the brain of the ColorEdge, guaranteeing the precise, uniform and constant image display that is the hallmark of EIZO.
Cutting-edge connectivity with USB-C
Image signal, USB data transfer and power supply of up to 60 W — all this and more can be realised with a single USB-C cable. This makes the ColorEdge CS2731 the central dock of the graphic workflow. Peripheral devices such as a mouse, keyboard or printer can be connected directly to the USB-A ports. Mobile devices such as laptops or tablets can be charged via the USB-C cable with up to 60 W. In this way, a laptop and CS2731 can be turned into a full desktop workstation with a quick connection.
One monitor, many ports
The CS2731 supports a wide range of video formats via USB-C, HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces. This means the monitor can be integrated into PC-based workflows and also used with HDMI sources.
KVM switch
Operating different PCs with a single mouse and keyboard has never been easier. With its USB upstream ports, the CS2731 has a built-in KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) switch. The monitor automatically links the mouse and keyboard to the currently active source computer. For example, a desktop PC and a laptop or a work and home PC can be operated using the same monitor, mouse and keyboard. This ensures uninterrupted work and a tidy workspace.
Anti-glare coating: more image, less reflection
The CS2731 offers a non-glare surface that minimises reflections by diffusing incoming light, which helps reduce eye strain. This lets you sit comfortably in front of the monitor without adopting a forced position to avoid glare.
Socially responsible production
The CS2731 is produced in a socially responsible way. It is free of child labour and forced labour. Suppliers along the supply chain have been carefully selected and have committed to socially responsible production, including responsible sourcing of conflict minerals. We publish a detailed report about our social responsibility annually and on a voluntary basis.
Environmentally and climate friendly
Each CS2731 is manufactured in our own factory, which implements an environmental management system in accordance with ISO 14001. This includes measures to reduce waste, wastewater and emissions, lower resource and energy consumption, and encourage environmentally conscious behaviour among employees. We report publicly on these measures annually.
Sustainable and durable
The CS2731 is designed for a long service life with consideration for the entire lifecycle and environmental impact. It is generally covered well beyond the five-year guarantee. Spare parts are available up to five years after production ends. The monitor’s long service life and reparability save resources and benefit the climate. In designing the CS2731, attention was paid to reducing resource consumption by using high-quality components and careful production.
Five-year warranty
EIZO grants a five-year warranty. This is possible thanks to a highly developed production process based on a simple principle: sophisticated and innovative technology made from high-end materials.
