All the best features of ColorEdge monitors like self-calibration available in a 4K screen for the first time. Now you can work at a level of clarity that"s nothing short of astonishing. The ColorEdge CG318-4K displays the DCI 4K standard (4096 x 2160) which is more than four times that of full HD (1920 x 1080). it"s ideal for creating, editing, and referencing with 2D and 3D CGI, VFX, compositing, and color grading. Whether you are creating, editing, or checking your work, this screen offers ample space to focus on 4K content. At a dense 149 ppi, it"s suited for not only video but also photo retouching and printing.In compliance with the DCI standard, the contrast ratio is a high 1500:1. This produces true blacks that are otherwise difficult to display on a typical LCD monitor. Even when viewing the screen from an angle in a dimly-lit studio the dark tones retain their depth. Also, you can prioritize a high brightness and contrast ratio over the screen brightness uniformity by pressing a button on the front of the monitor. With a single cable, the DCI 4K resolution at 60 Hz is supported by both DisplayPort 1.2 inputs and at 30 Hz by both HDMI inputs. A typical monitor takes 30 minutes or more for its brightness, chromaticity, and tone characteristics to stabilize. EIZO has shortened the warm-up time to a mere three minutes. Whether you are working in a studio or taking the monitor with you on location, you get reliable color display soon after turning the monitor on. With 10-Bit simultaneous color display* from a 16-bit look-up table, the CG318-4K 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. To prevent ambient light from reflecting off the screen, a shading hood that"surrounds the top and left and right sides is bundled with the monitor.
