Thanks to USB-C connectivity, color management, and 60W of power delivery, this display provides convenience and a streamlined workspace, so you can focus your creative energy where it is needed. So that the ColorEdge CS2731 may be calibrated to your preferred settings, an external calibration sensor is available as an optional accessory.

EIZO designed the ColorEdge CS2731 with an anti-glare panel, a native resolution of 2560 x 1440, In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology, 10-bit support for 1.07 billion colors, a 16-bit LUT, a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, a static contrast ratio of 1000:1, 350 cd/m² brightness, 109 pixels per inch, and a 10 ms (GtG) response time. Using the 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles, it is possible to watch content from virtually any position. This display has one HDMI input, one DisplayPort input, and one DVI-D input. There is also a USB-C port that supports DP alt mode, data transfers of up to 5 GB/s using the USB 3.1 Gen 1 standard, and up to 60W of power for device charging. Additional USB ports include one USB-B 3.1 Gen 1 input, two USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 outputs with 0.9A of charging power per port, and two USB-A 2.0 outputs with 0.5A of charging power per port.

The ColorEdge CS2731 has been engineered to support 99% of the Adobe RGB color gamut. To further help improve viewing and accessibility, it features a vertical tilt of -5 to 35°, a left/right swivel of 344° (±172°), a clockwise rotation of 90°, and a height adjustment of 6.1".

Please note that the DVI-D input only supports 16.7 million colors.

ColorNavigator 7 is a calibration and quality control software for ColorEdge color management monitors that combines all the features of EIZO's previous color management software, ColorNavigator 6 and ColorNavigator NX, to create a new and improved solution for creatives in a range of fields. The proprietary software performs hardware calibration by directly utilizing the LUT (look-up-table) of the monitor for higher precision and better gradation characteristics compared to software calibration.

Even with all the right equipment, color matching can be a tedious process—from monitor adjustment to determining the proper retouch software and printer settings—achieving an accurate print takes a great deal of time. Quick Color Match greatly simplifies the process by automatically adjusting to the most appropriate monitor, retouching software, and printer settings, so you can focus on editing your photos and print your work quickly and hassle-free. Simply drag and drop your photo in the Quick Color Match window to automatically start the process.

The wide color gamut reproduces almost the entire Adobe RGB color space, so images shot in Adobe RGB will be displayed correctly. Photos of vibrant blue skies and lush green forests are reproduced faithfully in a way that monitors limited to an sRGB color space cannot display. The wide color gamut also ensures reproduction of almost the entire ISO-coated and US web-coated CMYK color spaces used in printing.

Using the DisplayPort or HDMI inputs, the monitor offers 10-bit simultaneous display from a 16-bit look-up-table (LUT) which means it can show more than one billion colors simultaneously. This is 64 times more colors than you get with 8-bit display, resulting in smooth color gradations and reduced Delta-E between two adjacent colors.

The gamma level for each ColorEdge monitor is adjusted at the factory by measuring the R, G, and B gamma values from 0 - 255, then using the monitor's 16-bit look-up-table (LUT) to select the most appropriate tones and achieve the desired value. This helps ensure the smoothest color gradations in your images.

LCD monitors commonly exhibit fluctuations in brightness and chromaticity across the screen, affecting color accuracy. To counter this, ColorEdge monitors are equipped with EIZO's patented digital uniformity equalizer (DUE) technology which corrects deviations in every tone across the screen to help ensure a stable display.

The flat design uses electrostatic switches on the front bezel in place of traditional buttons for seamless access to monitor setting.

A carrying handle on the back of the monitor allows you to easily move it from one location to another.

Adjust the screen to the most comfortable angle and reposition it to show your work to a colleague or client. The monitor comes with a versatile stand that offers height, tilt, and swivel adjustments as well as portrait display. The stand is also equipped with a quick release that allows you to easily remove the screen from the stand with one touch.

The spacious 27" screen has a native resolution of 2560 x 1440, which offers a pixel count of double that of 1280 x 1024 and 60% more than 1920 x 1200 resolutions. This gives creatives ample space to work with images, tool palettes, and other windows.

The monitor is equipped with an IPS non-glare panel for high visibility. It also uses dimming technology to minimize flicker and help prevent eye fatigue for a more comfortable working environment.

The HDMI input supports I/P (interlace/progressive) conversion for converting the interlace signals from TV and video into progressive signals for flicker-free display.

The 178° wide viewing angles afforded by the IPS panel technology allow two or more people to view the screen at once with little change in color or contrast.

An optional light-shielding hood is available that effectively prevents glare on the monitor's screen caused by ambient lighting. The hood attaches to the monitor magnetically, allowing users to setup quickly and easily without needing to connect separate parts.

The ColorEdge CS2731 is equipped with HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI-D inputs. In addition to USB-C, it also has a USB Type-B and four USB-A ports.

EIZO guarantees its ColorEdge monitors will be free from bright sub-pixels for six months from the date of purchase.

ColorEdge monitors are backed by a manufacturer's 5-year warranty that covers all components, including the LCD panel.
