![]() It also has USB 2.0 instead of USB 3.1 which is available on some Eizo monitors. However, one cable more or less makes little difference because the cables are routed on the back and disappear under my desk, out of sight. This means that I would not need an HDMI cable if I had the CG2420. My Mac Pro 2019 does not have Mini DV or Display Port input connections. CG 2420 has USB C which means CG2420 has one less cable than CG247X and that is the video signal cable since USB C can carry both the video signal and the software data. Here are the differences between these two monitors:ĬG247X has USB 2.0, not USB C. The Eizo CG2420 and CG247X are comparable. The 16:10 format provides a significant difference and much more comfort than 16:9. I previously used an LG monitor that had a 16:9 format. The Eizo format ratio is 16:10, That’s nice. Might as well be picky since the option is available. It is possible to control the brightness of the blue power-on light, from 7 (maximum brightness) to off. It works perfectly as is! Power-On Light Control However, using non-Eizo color calibration software and potentially hardware defeats the purpose of using an Eizo monitor with built in hardware and software calibration. Other calibrating software packages can be used, such as Basic Color. Color Navigator 7 is a full-fledged calibration software package able to do just about anything you might want to do to achieve perfect color matching. In addition to the quality of the monitor, the value of the Eizo is due to the calibration software it comes with. This is the Test Pattern available in the Eizo Color Navigator 7 test pattern menu. Color Qualityĭo I need to add that the color of the Eizo CG247X is superb? Well, probably not but I do because it is. Plus, calibration takes only a couple of minutes, not 15 like some calibration software does. What’s great is the monitor takes only 3 minutes to warm up before calibration can be done. It means one less thing to worry about and one less thing to connect. When technology makes my life easier, I don’t mind paying for it. That’s worth the price right there for me. ![]() No more hanging a colorimeter from the top of the monitor or attaching it with suction cups and no more scratching the screen either. When the time for automated calibration comes up, a small sensor pops up and then retracts into its own housing after calibration is completed. Smaller than 24” I have to get too close and I don’t like that either. To use 32″ I would have to increase the distance and I don’t like being that far from my monitor. For the working distance I use 24″ is ideal. For me the size is based on how far I work from my monitor. Apple only offers one stand-alone monitor, the Apple Pro Display XDR, which is 32″. Most photographers today consider 27″ the ideal size. ![]() I tried smaller and did not like it either. It is written as a series of notes taken as I installed the monitor and discovered its features.Ģ4″ is my favorite monitor size. This essay is an informal review of this monitor. The Eizo CG247X was the last piece of this upgrade. In January 2021, I upgraded my computer to a Mac Pro 2019. ![]()
