This might be the least visually exciting equipment review I have brought forth in some time. A new computer isn’t always an exciting upgrade but I needed this very badly. I just purchased the new Apple Mac Studio M4 Max to replace an aging MacBook Pro from mid 2020, and the difference in performance for...
Several years ago I posted an article here on the blog entitled The Analog Backup. It was not a popular article. But it did inspire a few of my peers to start printing their best images as an archive. One of those, my good friend Andrew Kornylak, an amazing photographer and cinematographer, has been printing...

Disclaimer: I was given the GNARBOX 2.0 to try out on a recent climbing expedition and subsequently was told I could keep it by the fine folks at Gnarbox. As a result of this trial, I have also become a member of the GNARBOX Pro Team. With that said, I would not post a review...
I realize including the words “Color Management” in the title of this blog post will probably limit the number of folks that actually read this but I hope many will get past that and see just how critical this important topic is when working up still images or grading video footage. Color management, which involves a...

Thank you for taking time and attention to put this review together. after watching your Digital workflow course on creative live i have been researching monitor/calibration combos for a number of days and keep coming back to this reference. I may not be able to afford the eizo 4k but this article was one of the few I found that was so informative when searching for a unicorn solution that will straddle a high level of color accuracy for both photography and video.
Rob – Eizo makes the best monitors for photographers and any of the ColorEdge series monitors (and they are all less expensive than this one) are top-end color accurate monitors. Check out my review of the CS2470 here on the blog as well. https://blog.michaelclarkphoto.com/?p=10056
Thank you for this most helpful and glowing review. Did you test out for comparison the 32″ Apple XDR Pro Display? My NEC PA322UHD needs to be replaced and that’s an option I am considering.
Howard – None of the Apple displays are anywhere near as color accurate as your NEC PA monitors or the Eizo’s. The Eizo’s are the best anywhere.
Hi Michael. Great review and the reason i went for the cg319x! Have you been able to view hdr content on your monitor as my 2019 MacBook Pro does not recognise mine as a HDR display. Thanks. Ken
Thanks Ken. I have not tried to view HDR content.
Good Day, Great article! the kind of 31inch monitor I am looking for. I was wondering if you happen to have any insight as to weather or not Eizo will be updating their 2018 31inch 4k monitor (cg319x)? anything you could share in this regard would be really appreciated. thank you!
Frank – I don’t have any insider info on when or if they will be updating this monitor soon. It is up to date as far as I know in comparison to all of their other current monitors.
