Eizo Monitors

Eizo currently have three main ranges:

• The CG X aka CG Pro Range - the best of the best panels with the best of the best fully automatic calibration and the very best tonal placement and separation, particularly with respect to dark tone separation.
• The CG Range - as above but with a more basic sensor for calibration.
• The CS Range - a slightly lesser panel than the CGs and no automatic calibration, but still an excellent professional option for typical imaging work.

All of these models come with a full 5 year warranty from Eizo and of course our own lifetime support. If you need any help choosing, don't hesitate to get in touch - we're the experts on Eizo monitors in Australia with an unmatched 10 year record of supply and support of Eizo monitors. We'll help you choose the right model, we won't unnecessarily upsell you, and we'll make sure you get the best out of the monitor once you have it, with extensive guides and a helpful voice on the phone if you ever run in to trouble!

CG X Range (AKA CG Pro)

These Eizo CG  monitors are quite simply the best of the best - no other monitors really compare to the total package of high quality advanced features, ease of use and and overall fantastic quality and support that the Eizo ColourEdge CG range has to offer.

All monitors in the CG Pro range come with fully integrated, automatic direct hardware calibration using a very high quality in-built full RGB calibration sensor - a feature unique to these Eizos. This sensor offers fantastic calibration across the entire gamut and in particular, gives these monitors unmatched dark tone separation and excellent neutrals - perfect for fine art work.

CG Range

The CG Range share most of the features of the CG X (CG Pro) range. The primary difference (apart from the lower price!) - is they include a more basic calibrator. This calibrator is more like a 'Spyder' level calibrator that can only measure the combined RGB gamma. The net results means reduced performance in the calibration, particularly with respect to very dark tones and neutrals. 

That being said, you get almost all of the benefits & quality of the CG Pro range, and unless you're inclined to work specifically & regularly in the darker tones, in most typical scenarios you'd be hard pushed to see any practical difference.

CS Range

These are Eizo's competitors to NEC's very popular PA Range. The panels in these are not quite as good as those in the CG models, but 'not quite as good' for Eizo still tends to mean better than everyone else in terms of performance!

This new range is proving hugely popular with image makers in Australia and for good reason.

While these do cost a little more than the NEC options, they also do include Eizo's calibration software - with NEC you must add $150 for Spectraview 2, so the price gap is narrower than it initially appears. For the remaining extra cost (typically about $200), you get slightly more refined monitors, (Eizo's typically have better dark tone and neutrals behaviour), and an extra two years of warranty. You could easily argue the extra cost is worth it just for the extra warranty alone.

If you add an i1Display Pro calibrator to one of these, you'll get very close to CG level performance at a much reduced price - we think this is an excellent choice for a lot of people, whether serious enthusiast or professional. 

EV Range

The EV Range are really high end general purpose monitors and entry level colour accurate monitors. They're very popular in high end office environments like air traffic control, finance desks, and have a number of ergonomic features that make them excellent general purpose screens.

These monitors still offer high quality panels and more extensive calibration controls, but they do not have advanced features like wide gamut support or uniformity enhancement.

They are however still a huge leap forward in general colour accuracy terms over other panel brands like Apple/Dell/LG etc.  They're aimed at the prosumer market more so than the professional market, but some professionals use them for example as studio monitors do do basic image inspection during shoots, and for things like typical wedding and portrait retouching work.
