I actually like the Eizo monitor. It is a ten bit monitor. And I have
heard
(from a colleague) that if you measure the Apple Cinema Display you get
about a 7 delta e across it and if you then measure the Eizo you get about a
5 delta e across it. It is not a Sony Artizan yet. But Eizo is trying to get
there. Will they? Only time will tell. The Eizo product is a ten bit
monitor. And there it has a very small area around the edge of the Eizo
product so the benefit of having two of them offers a smaller foot print
with a lot of desktop real-estate.<
It is also worth noting with these screens that they come with a compensated
2.2 gamma from factory - each screen comes with its gamma certification
card. The ten bits helps to give perfectly balanced and bandless
gradations. Nobody has mentioned yet the fact that these screens also come
with their own calibration software (Color Navigator) which works with the
i1 (not Display). This is a completely hands-free software - you start it
up with your i1 connected, tell it what luminance, white-point, and gamma
you want, and then sit and watch it move your brightness, gain, etc. around
and leave you with a calibrated and profiled screen. Even those who thought
the i1 Match difficult to use can do it. Once the screen is calibrated,
open up a grey-RGB image with many levels in it (especially dark ones),
grey-RGB gradations, colored gradations, etc., and see something new.
