EIZO PRESENTS COLOREDGE CG318-4K MONITOR Eizo is releasing ColorEdge CG318-4K, a 31-inch monitor with a DCI (Digi- tal Cinema Initiatives) 4k (4096 x 2160) native resolution. The ColorEdge CG318-4K uses an LED-backlit IPS (in-plane switching) LCD panel with a wide color gamut that reproduces 98 percent of the DCI-P3 and 99 percent of the Adobe RGB color space. The ColorEdge CG318-4K comes with a built-in sensor for self-calibration. Eizo is offering two dedicated calibration soware programs, ColorNaviga- tor NX (free download) and ColorNavigator 6 (bundled with the monitor), which let users set target values for brightness, gamma, and white point, and generate an ICC profile. For color management of the ColorEdge CG318-4K and other select ColorEdge monitors on a network, Eizo also offers ColorNavigator Network, a cloud-based Web hosting solution for performing quality-control tasks on client ColorEdge monitors with ColorNavigator NX installed. The ColorEdge CG318-4K will begin shipping this summer.
