The ColorEdge maybe unique or, more aptly said, wouldn't you say, it belongs
in an new generation of LCD monitors, like the NecMitsubishi LCD2180UX,
which all feature 10-bit internal gamma control technology, constant
brightness control and what not? It seems to me that the ColorEdge, the
2180LX and the Samsung 713T are all based on the the same 'tube'. But,
perhaps Eizo has done a better job than the others in making it a truly
graphic arts contender?
