The EIZO ColorEdge CG276 is the flagship of EIZO's ColorEdge Professional range. It offers the highest possible standards of colour accuracy and consistency, and an awesome 27 inch panel size. The CG276 has a built-in calibration sensor so calibration with the included ColorNavigator software involves only a couple of clicks. It also comes with a shading hood and also a full pixel failure warranty for 12 months and the usual fantastic EIZO advance swap warranty for 5 years. The amazing 2560 x 1440 resolution delivers a crisp, clean looking display that's easy on the eyes. The CG276 is perhaps the ultimate large colour critical monitor. Read PC Pro's review here.

Size
A 27 inch screen enables you to display an image in Photoshop or Lightroom and still have plenty of room for your pallettes. Or if you are a graphic designer you can display an A4 spread at actual size. The ColorEdge CG274 can even rotate 90 degrees to give you a portrait format display as well. The CG276 has the same resolution as a 30 inch screen which means that the pixels are packed that bit tighter giving a pixel ptich of 0.2331 x 0.2331 mm, this gives an exceptionally sharp and crisp screen image.

Quality
The EIZO ColorEdge CG276 has been developed with the same commitment to quality as every EIZO screen. All ColorEdge screens are measured and assessed, any variation of colour or luminance across the panel is compensated for using EIZO’s digital uniformity equalizer technology to ensure true edge to edge consistency. The CG276 also comes with excellent new features for the video market including HDMI input, safe area markers, 1080/24p playback and I/P conversion.

Accuracy
Each built-in colorimeter is individually calibrated to each monitor, ensuring a perfect match. EIZO’s ColorNavigator calibration software is simple, but powerful, and always gives great results. The 3D colour look-up-tables and 10 bit display capability result in smoother colour gradations and greater colour accuracy. The included hood shades the monitor from ambient light. EIZO have done everything they can do to make the ColorEdge CG276 best colour critical monitor on the market. You’ll be able to see details in your images that would be lost on lesser displays.

Reliability
EIZO’s 5 year limited warranty offers excellent peace of mind, but with the ColorEdge range they also drop off a loan monitor before taking yours for repair, meaning you won’t be left without a monitor. The RGB full pixel failure warranty covers the CG276 up to 12 months after date of purchase based on ISO 9241-307 (pixel failure class I). This means a full pixel failure is covered, not a sub-pixel failure - i.e just one of the R, G or B sub-pixels. We have been selling EIZO monitors since 2005, we can advise you on which is best for you.
