Color Management and Color Matching

ColorNavigator – Optional Calibration Software

EIZO’s optional ColorNavigator calibration software makes calibration simple and produces predictable color results. ColorNavigator works with a wide range of measurement devices and provides hardware calibration by directly utilizing the monitor’s look-up table. The monitor’s built-in correction sensor automatically maintains the calibration settings by self correcting at specific intervals determined by the user. Learn more about ColorNavigator

Built-in Correction Sensor Automatically Maintains Your Settings

The CS230 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.

The built-in correction sensor works with ColorNavigator to automatically maintain your settings.

 

Stable Image Display Free from Environmental Influence

EIZO-Developed ASIC at the Core

All ColorEdge models come with an ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) developed by EIZO to meet the needs of the graphics market. The ASIC has its own algorithms used in high-precision color processing to produce smooth color tones.

Brightness and Color Uniformity with DUE

Fluctuations in brightness and chromaticity on different parts of the screen are a common trait of LCD monitors. To counteract this, the monitor incorporates EIZO's patented digital uniformity equalizer (DUE) technology.

Predictable Color You Can Depend on

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.

10-Bit Simultaneous Display

Using the DisplayPort input, the monitor offers 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 8-bit display which results in even smoother color gradations and reduced Delta-E between two adjacent colors.
*A graphics board and software which support 10-bit output are also necessary for 10-bit display.

Comfort and Convenience

Multiple Inputs

DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI-I inputs are included for connecting to various types of graphics boards, 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 ensure that moving images look clean and sharp with a minimum of 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.

Preset Modes for Optimum Viewing

6 preset modes are included: Paper, sRGB, Calibration, and three user- adjustable modes. With the bundled ScreenManager for Pro (compatible with Windows OS only), you can assign a mode to an application so that mode will automatically be come active when you call up an application.

Optional Shading Hood for Portrait and Landscape Modes

Most shading hoods can only be used in landscape mode, but a unique hood that is designed for portrait mode as well is available as an option.

Commitment to Quality and the Environment

5-Year Warranty

The monitor is backed by a manufacturer’s 5-year warranty that covers all components including the LCD panel. EIZO can do this because it  manufacturers its products at its own factories. This allows EIZO to keep close control over production quality and ensure that its monitors are built to last for 5 years.

Zero Bright Pixels

EIZO guarantees this product will be free from bright sub-pixels for six months from purchase date for purchases made on September 1, 2015 or later.

See our Bright Pixel Policy for details.

Mercury-Free LED Backlight

The LED backlight used with the LCD panel contains no mercury so it will have minimal environmental impact when it is eventually disposed of.

Zero Watts When Turned Off

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

1. ²  With current LCD technology, a panel may contain a limited number of missing or flickering pixels.
2. ⁵  If the monitor is left on continuously over a long period of time, dark smudges or burn-in may appear. To maximize the life of the monitor, we recommend the monitor be turned off periodically.
