So what's the black level luminance on the Eizo? If you operate the Artisan
at near the recommended 80 to 85 Cd/m2 (I'm citing the documentation from
memory), in order to achieve a 500:1 contrast ratio you need the black
luminance to be around 0.17 to 0.16 Cd/m2. In comparison (I was going to say
'in contrast' -- no pun intended), let's assume you drive the Eizo at the
recommended 120 Cd/m2 white luminance level, I take then from your verbal
accounts that the Eizo can't physically give a black luminance of 0.24
Cd/m2? Which would give a contrast ratio of 500:1. So what kind of contrast
ratio are you seeing: more like less than 300:1 or (worse) 200:1?
