Hi,
Thanks for responding.
Did you see the CG247X or another? If so that is a lightly older vintage I think (USB 2.0 etc.).
Does the in-built sensor calibrate grayscale as well as white point? I wonder the differences between these Eizo models. Can you use an external sensor in place of the internal without conflicts? Can external sensors modify the LUT?
I am most concerned about, in order
1. color accuracy and calibration and wide-gamut
2. Uniformity and no bleeding
3. Contrast
Mostly for photography but maybe video in the future.
Yes, I saw the 247x.
There is no conflict using an external sensor for calibration. I'm not sure if the built in sensor just adjusts white point. On my older CX271, the built in sensor just adjusts white point for consistency between calibrations. I keep it turned off and just recalibrate.
I believe the new displays cover about all of P3 colorspace which is about all that you'll ever need for photo printing/matching.
My display is rated at 1000:1 contrast and after calibration I get about 960:1, but that's the older panel. The new panels claim 1500:1 contrast, so you'll get just a bit less after calibration. You will certainly notice darker blacks with the newer displays. Not OLED level blacks, but darker.
I guess you may just need to buy one and return it if it doesn't work out well for you.
There is also the CG2730 which might be less expensive and do what you need. I think that the 2730 does not allow the uploading of a 3D calibration LUT which one may want to do for video work because video color correction software is not display color managed like Photoshop. But, to upload a calibration 3D LUT to the 279X you will also need lightspace software which is quite expensive. So the 2730 might be just right for you.
