EIZO has announced the CG3200X, the first OLED monitor in the ColorEdge range. It combines a 31.5-inch 4K UHD QD-OLED panel with new luminance and contrast control, and it was developed specifically for professional HDR post-production.

As the first OLED model in the ColorEdge family, the CG3200X brings decades of colour management expertise to QD-OLED technology. With a peak brightness of 1000 cd/m2, full-screen white brightness of 300 cd/m2, and typical contrast ratio of 1,500,000:1, it is claimed to be able to faithfully reproduce both bright highlights and deep shadows.
HDR OLED monitors typically offer exceptional peak brightness and contrast, but because each pixel emits its own light, bright scenes place higher demands on power and heat management. To protect the panel, conventional OLED displays rely on Automatic Brightness Limiter (ABL), which reduces overall luminance as more of the screen becomes bright, often causing visible shifts in tone and colour. To minimize these effects, EIZO developed a new, unique ABL control system for the CG3200X that supports higher luminance thresholds, sustaining brightness across more of the image before dimming occurs.
Even when ABL engages, editors can optimize luminance handling with a choice of two dimming modes, allowing flexibility to suit different project requirements. Highlight Dimming reduces brightness only in the most luminous areas, preserving detail and tonal integrity in mid- and low-luminance regions. Uniform Dimming adjusts brightness evenly across the entire screen for consistent overall luminance. To support accurate highlight evaluation, the ABL Safe View function reduces the display area to 10% or 25%, lowering the average brightness and reducing the likelihood of ABL activation. This allows creators to preview content at its intended brightness without automatic dimming. Additional ABL control features include a luminance warning that clearly indicates ABL-affected areas, and a front bezel indicator that shows when ABL is active, providing clear visibility and precise control for confident HDR evaluation.
Since SDR content is typically created for displays with contrast ratios between 1000:1 to 2000:1, it can appear differently on OLED monitors with significantly higher contrast. The CG3200X allows users to set a custom contrast ratio from 500:1 to 2000:1 in 100-step increments, ensuring a more accurate and controlled representation of SDR content.
High-contrast edges in text and fine details can also exhibit color fringing on conventional OLED monitors. The CG3200X has a dedicated correction circuit that is claimed to suppress these artifacts, resulting in cleaner, more natural edge reproduction.
The CG3200X delivers 10-bit simultaneous display from a 24-bit look-up table (LUT), enabling the reproduction of over one billion colors simultaneously. This provides 64 times more color detail than an 8-bit display, resulting in smoother gradations and reduced Delta-E between adjacent colors.
Each ColorEdge monitor undergoes factory gamma adjustment by measuring RGB values across 0–1023 levels. A 16-bit LUT is then applied to ensure optimal tonal accuracy and smooth color transitions. Every CG3200X includes a Factory Report documenting production measurements, including uniformity, gamma, gamut coverage, and color temperature, verifying the precision of each unit.
With USB Type-C, a single cable transmits video signal, USB data, and up to 60 W of power delivery so you can connect, charge, and create without juggling cords or adapters.
The monitor is also equipped with DisplayPort and HDMI inputs. 2 USB Type-A ports are available for connecting peripherals.
An easy-access headphone jack lets you connect headphones directly for convenient audio monitoring.
Pricing & Availability
The ColorEdge CG3200X will begin shipping in autumn 2026. I don’t currently have any pricing information. As a comparison, the existing EIZO ColorEdge CG3100X 30.5″ DCI 4K HDR Monitor costs $6,208 USD.
You will be able to see the ColorEdge CG3200X at IBC (International Broadcasting Convention) | September 11 – 14, 2026 | RAI Amsterdam, Netherlands | Stand: 7.D33 or at Inter BEE 2026 | November 18 – 20, 2026 | Makuhari Messe, Chiba, Japan | Hall 4, Stand No 4510.
