CS3200X ColorEdge

Thanks to the resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD), the CS3200X has an enormous pixel density of 140 ppi. Visible monitor pixels are guaranteed to be a thing of the past and even the monitor display gives a very meaningful impression of the subsequent print resolution. The IPS panel has a maximum brightness of 350 cd/m² and achieves a contrast ratio of 1300:1. Films can be assessed, edited and graded with the CS3200X in full 4K UHD resolution. The LCD module allows a viewing angle of 178 degrees. This keeps colour tones and contrasts stable in the user's viewing cone.

To be able to use the entire colour spectrum of modern cameras, you need a monitor with the largest possible colour space. Only then is it possible to visually assess and edit the saturated hues contained in the file. That is why the IPS panel of the ColorEdge CS3200X covers, for example, the wide AdobeRGB photo gamut as well as the CMYK print gamut ISO-Coated V2 to more than 99 %. This means that the full colour spectrum of modern cameras is represented unaltered and without gaps. And a precise simulation of the print result in the softproof view is also guaranteed.

The LUT (look-up-table) on the CS3200X employs internal calculations with 16 bits for an extremely high colour depth and outputs the signals with up to 10 bits. This provides billions of hues for calculating the precise monitor display, effectively preventing display errors caused by the monitor such as banding or clipping, which can result in tonal breaks in gradients or unnecessary colours in greyscale. Even fine nuances and structures in dark or highly saturated areas of the image can be displayed in a differentiated and detailed manner.

Every ColorEdge CS3200X is individually measured and optimally configured in the factory, enabling it to be used immediately after it has been unboxed. To this end, the gamma curves for the red, green and blue channels are closely checked and corrected, if necessary. This unique EIZO factory calibration enables the user to start using the monitor with the preset gamut range right out of the box. This painstaking calibration at the factory ensures that the user can quickly recalibrate the monitor if needed using ColorNavigator.

Each individual monitor panel is precisely measured over the entire surface at the EIZO factory. Any inhomogeneities in brightness and unnecessary colour are detected and removed. This process (Digital Uniformity Equalizer) guarantees that identical colours always look the same across the entire surface of the monitor, no matter where they are displayed. Only in this way is precise image processing and retouching possible.

It is essential that the monitor is regularly calibrated to ensure that it always displays the same file in the same way over its entire service life. To do so, all ColorEdge monitors employ lossless hardware calibration. Unlike software calibration, which always involves the risk of loss of display quality, hardware calibration not only creates an adjustment profile for the graphics board but also calibrates the monitor’s LUT (look-up-table).

Each ColorEdge CS3200X comes with an individual calibration report that shows the measurement results of the factory calibration of the monitor. The report proves the homogeneity, gamma curve, colour space coverage and white point of the monitor.

Each monitor ages and changes its display properties. This is why graphics monitors, which require an absolutely constant image display over the entire service life, must be regularly calibrated and adjusted. With the free calibration software ColorNavigator from EIZO, the ColorEdge CS3200X can be adjusted within 90 seconds (measured with a MacBook Pro and EX5), easily and without any losses. This is to ensure that the same image still looks the same on the monitor five years from now.

The free Quick Color Match software helps users, even without in-depth expertise in colour management, to see on the monitor how their images will look when printed on their Canon or Epson inkjet printer at home. In this way, the images can be optimised for the special properties of the selected photo paper even before printing, which helps users avoid expensive misprints.

The CS3200X has a high-quality microchip whose features EIZO has developed specifically for the special requirements of color-accurate work. This microchip is the brain of a ColorEdge as it guarantees the precise, uniform and constant image display that is the hallmark of EIZO.

The ColorEdge CS3200X supports the two gamma curves for HDR video: the HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) curve and the PQ (Perceptual Quantization) curve. Up to the maximum brightness of 350 cd/m², thus the CS3200X ensures a meaningful impression of the processed HDR material, so that a HDR reference monitor like the ColorEdge CG1 is often only required in the final production step.

Presets for the DCI-P3, BT.709, and BT.2020 color spaces are precisely calibrated at the factory and ensure accurate gamma values. In addition, color modes for PQ (DCI and BT.2100) and HLG (BT.2100) for displaying HDR content are also pre-set at the factory. When used with Apple devices, the Display P3 preset ensures consistent image reproduction. The brightness setting for each preset can be conveniently adjusted and recalibrated thanks to the built-in calibration sensor. HDR mode on Windows and macOS is directly supported. This makes it very easy to use typical HDR video applications with the appropriate tone curve and corresponding monitor settings.

Image signal, USB data transfer as well as power supply with up to 70 W, all this and more can be realised with a single USB-C cable. This makes the ColorEdge CS3200X the central dock of the graphic workflow. Peripheral devices such as a mouse, keyboard or printer can be connected directly to the USB-A ports. Mobile devices such as laptops or tablets can even be charged via the USB-C cable with up to 70 W via the USB-C cable. In this way, a laptop and CS3200X can be turned into a fully-fledged desktop workstation with a quick flick of the wrist.

It has never been easier to operate different PCs with a single mouse and keyboard. Thanks to the USB upstream ports, the CS3200X has an integrated KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) switch. The monitor automatically links the webcam, microphone, speakers, mouse and keyboard to the currently active source computer. This means, for example, that a desktop PC and laptop or business and private PC can each be operated on the same combination of monitor USB devices. This ensures uninterrupted working and a tidy workspace.

The monitor is flicker-free at every brightness setting. This is great for users, as their eyes will not tire as quickly, allowing them to work in front of the screen for longer periods of time without fatigue.

The CS3200X offers a perfect, non-glare surface. By minimising glare by diffusing the reflected light, the CS3200X effectively protects your eyes from straining. This keeps your eyes from getting as tired and allows you to sit comfortably in front of the monitor, without having to sit in a forced position to prevent glare.

Ergonomic and stable: the adjustable stand focuses on ergonomics. You can swivel and tilt the monitor stand until you find the most comfortable setting for your back, neck and sitting posture. It features continuous height adjustment and can be lowered almost to the base plate of the stand, enabling you to position the top image line ergonomically right below your eye level.

Depending on the model, up to two sensor buttons on the front can be assigned functions from the on-screen menu. The advantage: you have direct access to frequently used features.

The monitor hood reduces reflection and brightness on the screen and helps protect your eyes. It is easy to attach and reduces the amount of light that hits the screen from above and from the sides.

The CS3200X is designed for a long service life that takes into account the entire lifecycle and impact on the environment. It is generally well above the five-year guarantee. Spare parts are available up to five years after the end of production. The monitor’s long service life and the ability to repair it save resources and the climate. When designing the CS3200X we paid attention to reducing resource consumption by using high-quality components and materials and being meticulous in production.

For the packaging of the CS3200X, EIZO uses a padding made of moulded pulp cellulose. The material is made from recycled cardboard and paper and has a much lower environmental impact when disposed of than traditional polystyrene or plastic. All cables are stored in a cardboard compartment instead of being individually packed in plastic bags.

The CS3200X is produced in a socially responsible way. It is free of child labour and forced labour. Suppliers along the supply chain have been carefully selected and they have also committed themselves to produce in a socially responsible way. This applies in particular to conflict minerals. We present a detailed report about our social responsibility annually and voluntarily.

Each CS3200X is manufactured in our own factory, which implements an environmental and energy management system in accordance with ISO 14001 und ISO 50001. This includes measures to reduce waste, wastewater and emissions, resource and energy consumption, as well as to encourage environmentally conscious behavior among employees. We publicly report on these measures on an annual basis. 

As part of its sustainability initiatives, EIZO is contributing towards the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
