EIZO ColorEdge CG2400SV 24" Full HD+ 24.1" Review

The EIZO CG2400SV is a color-accurate specialist, not a generalist. Its 93rd percentile color score is fantastic, but its 1920x1200 resolution and $2300+ price are hard to swallow. Only buy this if you need a calibrated SDI reference monitor for pro video work.

The EIZO ColorEdge CG2400SV is a monitor that knows exactly what it is: a tool. It's not trying to be your gaming powerhouse or your all-around office workhorse. It's a 24-inch, 1920x1200 screen built for one thing: professional color accuracy in video editing and grading.

With a built-in calibrator, 98% DCI-P3 coverage, and 3D LUT support, it's designed to give you confidence that what you see on screen is what you'll get in the final product. The 3G-SDI ports are a dead giveaway—this is for the edit bay, not the living room.

Let's be clear: performance here means color performance. And in that, it's a star. Our data puts its color accuracy in the 93rd percentile, which is top-tier. The 400-nit brightness and 10-bit panel with HLG/PQ support mean it's ready for HDR workflows. But the 'performance' score of 2nd percentile tells the other side of the story. A 60Hz refresh and 11ms response time mean this is not a gaming or fast-motion monitor. It's for precision, not pace.

At over $2,300, the value proposition is razor-sharp and entirely dependent on your job. For a freelance colorist or a post-production house that needs a reliable, calibrated reference monitor with SDI, the built-in tools and EIZO's reputation might justify the cost. For literally anyone else—a photographer, a general video editor, a designer—this price for a 24-inch 1200p screen is a very tough sell. You're paying for certified accuracy and niche pro features, not pixels or speed.

This sits in a weird spot. Compared to a prosumer favorite like the Dell UltraSharp 27" 4K, you're giving up a ton of resolution and sharpness for the SDI ports and built-in calibration. Against a true professional reference monitor from Flanders or Sony, the EIZO is more affordable but has a lower resolution. And compared to the high-refresh gaming and content creation beasts like the ASUS ROG Swift or MSI MPG, it's in a different universe—those are about speed and vibrancy, while the EIZO is about absolute color truth. It's a specialist tool in a market full of generalists.

Skip this immediately if you're a gamer, a general PC user, or even a photographer or graphic designer. You can get a fantastic 4K IPS monitor with great color for a fraction of the price. Also skip it if you need a portable monitor—this thing is an 18.7-pound anchor.

Buy this monitor only if you are a professional video editor or colorist who specifically needs a calibrated 24-inch reference monitor with 3G-SDI connectivity for on-set or edit suite work. If that sentence doesn't describe you perfectly, there is almost certainly a better and cheaper monitor for your needs.
