- Eizo Coloredge CG3100X The five -year warranty offers 30,000 hours – approximately 16 hours per day
- Publishers gain ready -made workflows for HDR with HLG and PQ functions
- The maximum brightness of 500 cd / m² responds to professional requests for the HDR project
Eizo has announced the Coloredge CG3100X, a 30.5-inch DCI screen aimed at professionals working in publishing and post-production.
The company claims that its display is delivered with a limited guarantee over five years, a commitment which distinguishes it from other monitors of the same class, which generally offer three or four years.
However, the warranty covers up to 30,000 hours of use, which, when it is spread over the five -year coverage period, amounts to around 6,000 hours of operation per year, or around 16 hours of operation per day.
WORKFLOW HDR support and color precision
The device has a UHD 4K UHD resolution panel with factory calibration for precise color reproduction and supports standard professional workflows, including coverage of key color spaces used in design, photography and video editing.
The maximum brightness of the display of 500 CD / m² and the contrast ratio of 1800: 1 are intended to meet the requirements of HDR, and its ability to reproduce at 97% Adobe RGB and 99% of DCI-P3 colors suggests a high potential for critical tasks.
Eizo Coloredge CG3100X is designed to manage modern HDR work flows by supporting the Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) and perceptual quantification functions (PQ).
These parameters are intended to represent more closely the way in which the human eye perceives the contrast of the real world compared to the standard dynamic range.
For publishers working on high -end productions, this could reduce the need for secondary reference verifications, although they only trust a monitor for video publishing or photo modification always includes risks.
The model also incorporates the Colornavigator 7 software from Eizo alongside an internal calibration sensor, deleting the requirement of third -party tools, although professionals can prefer cross validation to ensure consistency.
Eizo has equipped the CG3100X with USB Type-C for video output, data transfer and laptop load.
Although this helps cutting the cable and adding convenience, it is already a common feature in many high -end commercial monitors.
The inclusion of a LAN port for direct access to the network could use shared studio configurations, although this integration improves the efficiency of the workflow will depend on the way in which production environments really adopt it.
It also adopts the fixed rate connection (FRL), aligning with the latest HDMI standards, which should improve the management of uncompressed signals to higher resolutions.
The CG3100X housing is made with more than 85% recycled and wrapped plastic with a molded pulp rather than plastics, in accordance with Eizo sustainability messaging.
Its cooling system works quietly at 20 dB and supports long sessions without distraction.
On paper, the numbers of the Eizo Coloredge CG3100X are superb, but they rarely tell the whole story, and the creators will want to assess real performance before replacing existing reference monitors.
