Eizo CG243W wins TIPA award

The much sought-after TIPA award for Best Photo Monitor of the year went to EIZO again. The CG243W convinced the jury with a 3D look-up table, automatic colour drift correction and IPS-LCD panel for excellent colour reproduction. These features do not only convince professionals but are also relevant for amateur photographers.

Besides two DVI-I inputs the EIZO ColorEdge CG243 offers a DisplayPort that enables the user to work with 10-bit colour*. So the monitor displays over one billion colours and the finest differences in tone. 16-bit internal processing produces smooth display of greyscale tones and brings out a very high level of detail in dark areas. The advantage: colours are differentiated true to the original. The Digital Uniformity Equaliser (DUE) is responsible for brightness and chroma uniformity on the whole surface of the display, so each colour is the same wherever you look.

For calibration the Eizo ColorEdge CG243W comes with EIZO's ColorNavigator software that is used for setting the target values for brightness, white point and gamma. The monitor's precise and reliable colour reproduction reduces correction steps and shortens the professional's valuable production time.

Eizo CG243W - TIPA 2010 award winner

TIPA Award Best Photo Monitor 2010 as seen by the TIPA jury:

Designed to handle both still and moving images equally well, the 24.1 inch widescreen Eizo ColorEdge CG243W monitor features an in-plane switching (IPS) LCD panel with a native resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. The monitor boasts wide 178 degrees horizontal and vertical viewing angles. Its wide gamut reproduces 98% of the Adobe RGB colour space. The ColorEdge CG243W offers hardware calibration, so the monitor itself is calibrated rather than the computer.

Native Digital comment - we have to agree with TIPA, the Eizo ColorEdge CG243W is an excellent professional display for people who want to be able to see and edit with a true representation of their photograph or image on screen. We'd also add that the CG243W is exceptional at showing shadow detail and deep blacks. It also comes with 5 year 'advanced exchange' warranty in the UK.
