Hi,
Sorry if this has been discussed before.
I'm looking for a 27 inch display for professional still photo editing and retouching.
I'm more into the eizo than others.
I want to know if there are any image quality related disadvantage in CX271 compared with CG277, other than the self-calibration and video related function and hood.
If there is no quality disadvantage in the cheaper version for still photo image handling, I want to go with CX rather than CG version.
I have used with NEC monitor with a calibrator.
Thanks in advance.
Hope this helps:
Last year I was loaned a CG277 until the CX271 that I ordered was available.
I found that the color calibration using the built in sensor on the CG matched very close to the calibration on the same monitor using my i1 display pro (using color navigator). So no real advantage to the built in calibrator itself.
The real difference between the displays is that the CG saves a 3dLUT in the display and the CX saves a smaller matrix. In practice the CX looked so close to the CG (calibrated using my i1) that I am comfortable suggesting that you save the $1000 and get the CX.
I was using the display for video grading, and if that's what you're doing, and want to load a 3dLUT into the display from an outside source, you'll need the CG (i didn't need this, but you might if you calibrate using thousands of dollars of professional calibration equipment and software)
If you're just using an i1 display calibrator, the CX is just fine, and a very good display.
I will add the the CX has a drop down calibration sensor that re-sets the white balance on a schedule. From my experience, this method is not accurate and I suggest you turn off this feature and re-calibrate using an i1 or similar calibrator solution.
