Recommended models for professional-grade monitors: CG277, CS2730, CS230
 
EIZO means "image" in Japanese, and the Chinese name is Yizhuo, a company that has been producing televisions for 50 years since 1968. Although few people have heard of this low-key brand, EIZO is second to none in the field of professional-grade displays, and those who work in professional fields such as design, imaging, and medical surveillance cannot avoid the EIZO brand.
 
EIZO is the benchmark for professional-grade displays, and the price is generally more than 10,000 yuan. At a glance, the appearance of most of its products can even be summed up as "stupid, big black and coarse", dark plastic material, huge frame, and high-end are not at all; Response speed, refresh rate, brightness, contrast, resolution and other image quality indicators are not even as good as the products of one or two thousand yuan on the market, which is enough to confuse ordinary consumers, but its products are indeed not for mass consumers.
 
Sacrifice must be pursued,For professional-grade displays,The conventional indicators mentioned above are not too important,The core attributes are color accuracy and stability。 For example, for designers, to ensure that under various environmental factors, the color of the display can be exactly the same as the printed finished color, which requires strict color management, the most representative of which is the ColorEdge series, the product model number starts with C. This series uses a 10-bit color depth IPS panel, which can fully present 100% Adobe RGB color space, and has complete software and hardware calibration measures to ensure that the display is in the most standard display state.
 
Support hardware calibration is the standard configuration of professional-grade displays, the display can not perceive the color accuracy by itself, it needs to be detected by an external sensor, and then use the LUT (look-up table) to directly control the display hardware to achieve calibration, compared with the software calibration of the computer output, the hardware calibration has higher accuracy and smoothness, and the calibration is still effective after changing the computer. Brightness equalization is also an important criterion, and the ColorEdge series is equipped with patented Digital Equalization Technology (DUE), which can counteract the effect of ambient temperature on color temperature and brightness, so that the entire screen Delta-E (color deviation) does not exceed 3.
 
The CX/CS series is aimed at photography or graphics enthusiasts and supports hardware calibration, while the CG series is aimed at more specialized areas such as printing and design. Compared with the former, the CG series has a color sensor that is hidden at the edge of the screen, and can be dialed out to the screen for color calibration when needed, eliminating the need for third-party calibration equipment. The CG series has enhanced the specifications of the internal components of the display, and the display can be in a highly stable state after three minutes of power-on, compared to at least thirty minutes for a regular display. The CG series also comes with a magnetically adsorptive lens hood to protect against ambient light, and the panel is equipped with an optical compensation film to make blacks deeper and improve contrast. In addition, the LUTs used for color correction have also been upgraded to 3D LUTs, which greatly improves the usability compared to 1D LUTs.
 
Although the ColorEdge series of professional monitors is expensive, the application field is narrow, the target population is very limited, and the mass production quantity is small, which cannot be measured according to the price of consumer-grade products. EIZO's FlexScan series is positioned as a business display, which can easily realize multi-display parallel connection and control, and the price is less than 10,000 yuan, although the price is much lower than the ColorEdge series, but it is also less unique, and consumers have many high-quality and low-cost choices.
 
EIZO's product development and production are carried out in EIZO's own factories, and the quality of the products is consistent, and the industry's highest five-year/30,000-hour warranty is provided. Again, EIZO is mainly aimed at professional fields that require high color accuracy, and those professional-grade features are of little significance to ordinary consumers, so you must be clear about your needs before purchasing.
