YOUR BEST SHOT
AUSTRALIAN PHOTOGRAPHY + DIGITAL JULY 2015
Thanks to our good friends at EIZO, Brett Ferguson has won a gorgeous ColorEdge
CS230 Photo Editing Monitor valued at $1375.
While your camera can capture trillions of colours, most computer monitors are
only able to show a fraction of that colour range – around 16 million colours. The
ColorEdge CS230 has a library of over 278 trillion colours and can display more than
one billion of those simultaneously, resulting in smoother colour and tonal gradations,
truer images and much more detail.
For around the price of a high-quality lens, the 23in ColorEdge CS230 Photo
Editing Monitor lets you see subtle details and a richness of colour that would
otherwise be hidden from view. There’s also automatic colour adjustment with a
built-in self-correction sensor and ColorNavigator software.
That’s why EIZO monitors are used and recommended by Australia’s leading photographers and
are the only monitors used for judging the Australian Professional Photography Awards (APPAs).
