- EIZO COLOREDGE CG3100X The five -year warranty offers 30,000 hours, approximately 16 hours a day
- The editors obtain workflows ready for HDR with HLG and PQ functions
- The maximum brightness of 500 cd/m² meets the professional demands of HDR projects
EIZO has announced the Coloredge CG3100X, a 30.5 -inch DCI screen aimed at professionals who work in edition and postproduction.
The company says its exhibition comes with a five -year limited guarantee, a commitment that distinguishes it from other monitors in the same class, which generally offers three or four years.
However, the guarantee covers up to 30,000 hours of use, which, when distributed during the five -year coverage period, is carried out at approximately 6,000 hours of operation per year, or approximately 16 hours of operation per day.
HDR working flow support and color precision
The device presents a 4K UHD resolution panel with factory calibration for precise color playback and admits standard professional workflows, including the coverage of key color spaces used in design, photography and video editing.
The maximum shine of the 500 CD/m² screen and the 1800: 1 contrast ratio are intended to meet the HDR requirements, and their ability to reproduce 97% ADOBE RGB and 99% of DCI-P3 color spaces suggest a strong potential for critical color tasks.
EIZO COLOREDGE CG3100X is designed to handle modern HDR workflows by admitting gamma transfer hybrid transfer functions (HLG) and perceptual quantification (PQ).
These configurations are intended to represent more closely how the human eye perceives the contrast of the real world compared to the standard dynamic range.
For editors working in high -end productions, this could reduce the need for secondary reference verifications, although depending solely on a monitor for video edition or photo editing still entails risks.
The model also integrates Colornavigator 7 Software from EIZO along with an internal calibration sensor, eliminating the requirement of third -party tools, although professionals may prefer cross validation to ensure consistency.
EIZO has equipped the CG3100X with USB type C for video output, data transfer and laptop load.
While this helps cut the cable disorder and adds convenience, it is already a common characteristic in many high -end business monitors.
The inclusion of a LAN port for direct access to the network could attract shared study configurations, although if this integration improves the efficiency of the workflow will depend on how production environments really adopt it.
It also adopts a fixed speed link (FRL), aligning with the latest HDMI standards, which should improve without compressing signals in higher resolutions.
The CG3100X housing is carried out with more than 85% recycled plastic and packaged with molded pulp instead of plastics, in line with EIZO sustainability messages.
Its cooling system works in silence at 20 dB and admits long sessions without distraction.
On paper, the numbers of the colored EIZO CG3100X look great, but they rarely tell the complete story, and the creators will want to evaluate the real performance before replacing the existing reference monitors.
