EIZO announced its ColorEdge CS2740, a 27-inch, 4K UHD (3840 x 2160)
The ColorEdge CS series is a range of monitors that include many of the advanced features of EIZO’s professional ColorEdge CG series, while also meeting the varying needs and budgets of hobbyists and prosumers.
The Eizo CS2740 is a significant upgrade, as it has a higher resolution at 4K (3.840 x 2.160) instead of WQHD (2.560 x 1.440) compared to its predecessor, as well as an additional modern and versatile interface with USB-C. The Eizo CS2740 is expected to be launched in May at a price of 1,547 euros (RRP) - making it cheaper than its predecessor, the CS2730, which cost around 1,900 euros at market launch.
-- Eizo - - Its IPS panel with 10-bit color depth is individually measured at the factory and optimally adjusted to permanently eliminate any inhomogeneities such as differences in brightness and partial color casts. It is 350 nits bright, has a contrast of 1: 1,000 and covers the Adobe RGB color space to more than 99%. The integrated hardware calibration with 16-bit LUT can use Eizo's free ColorNavigator 7 tool and a supported calibration sensor to perform a color calibration in just 90 seconds.
The 27-inch screen provides ample space for easily displaying Full HD content in full, with enough space to show toolbars, palettes, and other windows or applications simultaneously. This makes the monitor versatile for photos, video editing, design, and other types of creative work in resolutions up to 4K. USB Type-C connectivity allows the monitor to display video, transmit USB signals, and supply power (60 W delivery) to a connected device, such as a smartphone or notebook PC, using a single cable. Users can simply plug in and start getting creative without worrying about additional cable clutter.
The monitor’s wide color gamut reproduces 99% of the Adobe® RGB color space, ensuring images are reproduced faithfully. To counter fluctuations in brightness and chromaticity characteristic of LCD monitors, EIZO’s unique digital uniformity equalizer (DUE) corrects deviations in every tone across the screen for stable display. The ColorEdge CS2740 supports EIZO’s ColorNavigator 7 color management software, so users can regularly calibrate and quality control their monitor quickly and reliably for predictable color results. It also supports EIZO’s Quick Color Match software, which simplifies the screen-to-print color matching process in just a few steps.
Additional Features
- Smooth gradations with 10-bit display from a 16-bit LUT (look-up-table)
- USB Type-C, HDMI, and DisplayPort inputs
- Optional light-shielding hood
- 5-year manufacturer’s warranty2

1,07B Colours and even most amaingly 99% coverage of Adobe's pallet.
Only once I've had EIZO CRT and even back then with flat monitor. Anyone dare to guess the price? I would like the exact same monitor at 1080p or least 1440p.

About $1,800 ? The flat screen CRT's were lovely.

A meta-meme where an hedgehog uses an Eizo for doing memes about an hedgehog using an Eizo doing memes... o_O
Anyway, Eizo builds the best quality professional screens i've ever used, with the best color and bright uniformity across the whole screen, true story

The CS2420 is affordable at about 700 €, IPS 24" at 1920 x 1200, great mid-pro screen with all the professional hardware inside, real 10 bit panel and 16 bit LUT for professional cameras...

Finally a monitor worthy of my fine meme production.
