Eizo SX2462W shows some characteristics of the much more expensive and professional Eizo ColorEdge monitors in some areas, and that makes the SX range a perfect companion for photography and graphical applications. Great low cost all round monitor.

The Eizo SX2462 Features
Wide Color Gamut

The monitor reproduces 98% of the Adobe RGB color space so it can display most colors in a digital photo taken in Adobe RGB mode.

Three Inputs Including DisplayPort

Connect with up to three PCs via the monitor’s dual DVI-I inputs which accept digital and analog signals, and the DisplayPort (digital) input terminals. DisplayPort is next-generation connectivity that transmits both video and audio signals.

Placement Flexibility

The FlexScan SX2462W comes with a “FlexStand” that offers tilt, swivel, 90° rotation for portrait mode viewing, and 174 mm of height adjustment. Its innovative, bearing-less design reduces mechanical wear and the amount of torque required to adjust height.

Brightness and Color Uniformity with DUE

Fluctuations in brightness and chroma on different parts of the screen are characteristic of LCD panels. Generally, the larger the screen, the more noticeable these uniformity errors become. EIZO’s Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE) helps to compensate for these errors, resulting in a much more uniform image.

Simple Color Matching with EIZO EasyPIX

The EIZO EasyPIX color matching tool is ideal for digital SLR camera users looking to match colors between their monitors and photo prints. With the EasyPIX software you can match the monitor’s color and brightness with that of the photo paper and then create a monitor profile with the bundled EX1 color sensor. No expertise in color management is required and the profile can be shared with image retouching software to ensure accurate results when printing.

This is what clients are saying about the SX2462

“Easy To Setup, Great colour, Sharp Image I am so pleased I made this investment ”

“Easy to calibrate and works beautifully with the Easypix software.”

“Thanks for talking me into buy the Eizo SX2462, its made such a difference to my workflow I wish I had done it early

Earlier this week we had the opportunity to get further information on the new IQ2 series of Phase One backs.

At this time we not only got an in depth insight as to the new back, we got access to some files taken with 2 of the 3 new backs. Team Digital now have some sample files shot with the IQ260 and the IQ260 Achromatic. All with a ground breaking 13 stops of dynamic range, we’ve got to say its amazing to see what a extra ½ stop will do.

We now have the ability to shoot long exposures up to 1 hour , this opens up all sorts of opportunity.   On the IQ260 with 13 stops of dynamic range. This coupled with the rest of the Phase One system and Capture One 7 software, leads to files that are extraordinary. The IQ260 offers up 60MP of data resulting in a 173MB 8 bit TIF or 346MB 16 bit TIF files.

The IQ260 Achromatic also offers us 60MP of data only in this instance, it is Monochrome only, with results that are astounding. We still have 13 stops of dynamic range in a dedicated black and white capture device.

As an 8 Bit TIF the resulting file is sized at 172MB and as a 16 Bit TIF the file equates to 344MB. The results are mind blowing.

The whole of the IQ2 range now have the ability to tether wirelessly to iPads or iPhones via Capture Pilot, a Phase One created APP is available now from the APP Store. Not only do you have the ability to look at captures as they are taken, with magnification capabilities for a closer look at your details, you can also shoot from the remote device. Perfect for studio shoots and so much more.

If you’d like to take a closer look at these amazing sample files, please do not hesitate to contact Trevor at Team Digital. We guarantee you will be impressed. The Phase One IQ2 takes take medium format capture to the next level.

Mirage Print Software

This review is the first of many on the Mirage Print Software. After six months of working with the software we can say we love it. We wanted to display the contrast between using the traditional Photoshop and Epson driver method compared to the Mirage software, we think you’ll be impressed. It does everything printer software should and more. Stay tuned for the next installment of the Mirage reviews.
